Whether you?re new to Illustrator or an old hand who needs a refresher and a guide to the new features in CS6, this course from expert trainers Chad Chelius and Angie Taylor will teach you what you need to know. Yet another way to discover what video2brain has to offer.13h 00m | 2.47 GB | Project files 472 MB | Required Software: Adobe Illustrator CS6 Users without an account may browse the course offerings, and watch trailers and free lessons. After I downloaded it and signed in to my v2b account, my purchased courses appeared in the Dashboard, ready to view as I would in the browser of my iPad or computer. NOTE: As I was preparing to publish this review, I discovered video2brain has an iPad app. Sample one (or two), and you’ll immediately see the value of a video2brain course. Video2brain offers many free videos taken from all their courses. I’ll be referring to those videos frequently as I use and learn Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. The trainers with the two courses I completed, Tim Grey and Chad Chelius, are experts in their fields (as are all the trainers), highly knowledgable, and easy to listen to. They include all the files needed to complete a course the Learn by Video series have a PDF bonus booklet with additional material to enhance the video training. I was amazed when an hour went by it seemed like just a few minutes!įor anyone who’s a visual learner like me, I highly recommend video2brain courses. I found the videos interesting and focused on one point per lesson. Videos are short, and while they don’t have to be watched sequentially, it’s a good idea to do so, as many lessons build upon previous lessons. This was extremely helpful, and made learning and understanding a concept much easier. Users who don’t have an iPad can do the same thing using the “watch and work” mode in the v2b application discussed above.Īll project files are included in courses so you can practice techniques along with the teacher. This allowed me to watch the videos and implement the techniques simultaneously in PSE10 on my computer. The third way to view videos was my chosen way: through the web browser on my iPad. Finally, videos can be viewed in “watch and work” mode, which shrinks the videos to a smaller size so you can follow along while using the corresponding application. HELP and LINKS are tabbed at the top of the video screen and are just a click away. Also, at the end of each chapter is a fun test to check how much you’ve learned. Besides the above-mentioned availability factor, users can add searchable bookmarks as often as necessary to remember key points, similar to bookmarking a book. The videos are exactly the same as the online version, but there are distinct advantages to using the course on your own computer. This is the second way to watch your course, through the v2b interface. It’s a good idea to download your course onto your computer so you’ll always have it, especially when there’s no Internet connection. Using a web browser is a great way to access courses when you’re not home for example, if you’re learning a new application at work you can reference the course at the office. Below the video is a description of the course, price, course time length, and the breakdown of videos by chapter. Videos can be viewed in a separate pop-up window, in full screen mode, or in a smaller mode.
The first is to watch it in your web browser. However, if you have a little experience with PSE10 and want to dive deeper into the application, Adobe Photoshop Elements 10: Learn By Video is the better option.Īll courses can be accessed in three ways. If you’re new to PSE10, Getting Started with Photoshop Elements 10 would be a great beginners course. As far as content is concerned, it isn’t necessary to take both these courses as a lot of information is repeated. Since I’m trying to learn Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (PSE10), I chose Adobe Photoshop Elements 10: Learn By Video and Getting Started with Photoshop Elements 10 as my courses for this review. Once you purchase a course, it’s yours there are no expiration or “watch by” dates. All courses are available to stream or download to your computer or iPad, and work with Mac, Windows, or Linux operating systems.
