{Workshop} Photoshop Invitations 101

Published by DIY Bride at 5:05 pm under Workshops

{Update April 10: Workshops are postponed due to technical difficulties. Many apologies for the inconvenience! Please check back May 01 for status.}

I’m delighted to present the first event of DIY Bride Workshop Series. Beginning March 15, 2009 Going Digital 101: Using Photoshop to Create Kick-Ass Invites will be available for registration. In this free three-lesson, self-paced video-based course, you’ll learn the basic tools and how to use them to create gorgeous wedding invitations and stationery.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to open files in Photoshop
  • Learn the function of and how to use basic Photoshop tools
  • Add text and photos to a layout
  • Save your layout in printable format
  • Select fonts and photographs
  • Install and use brushes, patterns, and shapes
  • Add digital patterned paper to an invite layout
  • Learn about color theory
  • Get a primer on layout and design basics
  • Learn about printing options

Each video lesson is divided into short, doable tasks that will have you up and running with Photoshop in no time. Because this is a self-paced workshop, you can stop, rewind, and restart the videos as many times as needed.

With this workshop, you’ll get:

  • A downloadable invite kit that contains an invitation template, patterned paper, fonts, brushes, and other embellishments so that you can follow along with our tutorials.

IMPORTANT: This workshop requires that users have Adobe Photoshop. You can download free 30-day trials of this program from the Adobe.com website.

Registration is open beginning on March 15, 2009. The course will be available on March 20 and will remain open to registered workshop attendees indefinitely.

    I can’t wait to sign up, I’ve been wanting to make my own invites for a long time but just didn’t think it was possible. THANK YOU!

    What a wonderful workshop! I’ll be registering & I’ll refer all my bridal clients your way. How fun!

    I’m definitely registering for this workshop! Thanks for offering such a great service for free.

  8. # Christineon 26 Feb 2009 at 2:53 pm

    Wow, this looks wonderful. I had seen this idea elsewhere to design monograms but I was scared of photoshop as i am not familiar with it. Also i dont have it. But if i can get a free trial for 30 days and your video can help me through it I might give it a try.

    Question, what would the rough cost estimate be if I did invites this way? What does good quality paper and envelopes usually run for something like this. (We have approximately 80 guests).

    Thanks
