illustrations using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or Gimp </strong>(or any similar program) in just a matter of minutes that look professional and can be used online, in videos and animations, or for print purposes such as on a poster, letterhead, even a T-shirt or other products. </p><p> *Please note that free 7-day trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator are available for download from Adobe's website. Gimp is a free program.</p><p><strong>Save money making your own unique digital images and illustrations (and stop paying others to do them for you) and develop skills that can help you start making money creating professional-looking images for <br>others.</strong> You can also use these simple techniques to make unique images and illustrations as free gifts for friends and family. </p><p><strong>You also don't need to know how to draw.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>There are actually a HUGE number of graphic designers who CAN NOT draw... but they make up for it by using techniques like the ones in this course and naturally, learning more about layout design, composition, color, typography, and other fundamentals of visual literacy. </p><p>You can decide how much time you will spend on each image which will then affect your end results. As you do more and more, you can be cranking these out in a matter of minutes and could actually <strong>make a little illustration/digital painting business creating these for others on websites like Fiverr, Upwork, and other freelancing websites</strong>.<em><br></em></p><p><strong>Are you ready to take charge and learn quick and easy methods for creating and editing powerful web images/social media graphics like a professional in just 1 hour?</strong></p><p>With this course as your guide, you'll learn how to confidentially and professionally create and manage your OWN unique images for your website, blog, eCourse, eBook, presentations, or social media pages using free online tools.</p><p><br></p><p> ------<br><strong>What Students Are Saying:</strong><br> <em>\"A great course by a great instructor. It was amazing to see the making of an image, with all the techniques, attention to detail, and also to hear the thinking process behind each decision.

things.<br><br></em></strong>I'm an American/Portuguese multidisciplinary artist based in Malawi. After decades as a digital artist, in 2021 I reconnected with my fine art roots. Inspired by the lofty mission statements used by the world’s top organizations, my mixed media drawings are a call to action to visualize better outcomes for our lives, communities, and the planet. My earlier animations have screened at over 75 international film festivals, earning numerous “Best Animated Short Film” awards, including at the Cannes Short Film Festival, Italy International Film Festival, and Sunscreen Film Festival.<br></p><p>As an educator, I've taught at universities on four continents. I co-founded the Film and Digital Media BFA at The American University of Rome, where I was tenured and led the Film and Digital Media Program between 2013-2016. From 2016 to 2019, I expanded my teaching to academic institutions and NGOs in Myanmar, including at the groundbreaking American University of Myanmar. Founded in 2014, this institution posed such a challenge to the individuals now leading the current military government that it was unfortunately forced to close in 2018.<br></p><p>When not making fine art, I work as a designer and educator for United Nations agencies and international bodies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), The British High Commission, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Food Programme (WFP), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), The Public Relations Society of Malawi, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and The Australian High Commission. I craft training programs catering to diverse audiences, and since 2014, I have also reached over 80,000 online students from 191 countries. My learners range from refugees and diplomats to individuals without formal education living on less than $2 USD a day, reflecting my commitment to inclusivity and empowerment.<br><br><strong><em>What can I help you with today?</em></strong></p></div></div></div><button type="button" class="ud-btn ud-btn-medium ud-btn-ghost ud-heading-sm show-more-module--focusable-label--ucIIp" aria-label="Show
