educational website critique


The website psdtuts.com is a very useful site especially to those who already have some knowledge about Photoshop. But this site may also be used for beginners, those who are just starting how to use Photoshop and want to enhance their knowledge about it. The site provides plenty of different kinds of tutorials. It can guide you through each and every step that you have to make in Photoshop to be able to create that image. And the best part of it is, the site actually provides pictures and videos for each and every step which makes it easier for you to understand and follow the procedure that is being taught.

As you enter the website, viewers may think at first that the page is cluttered. There are a lot of images that will be seen. But it is not cluttered in a way that the page is not divided into certain categories. There are a lot of pictures that can be found at this site but you will see that it is arranged quite well. The website is actually very easy to browse through. The links that can be found there are easy to understand and are very useful. This website if very detailed and can hardly find anything wrong with it. It also provides other communities and forums where people can discuss about Photoshop. What’s interesting about this site is that it also has its own Wikipedia except it is a Wikipedia for everything about Photoshop.


PSDTUTS can bring out good effects with to a lot of people. Children may be able to use this website although Photoshop isn’t really known for very young kids. Kids use the computer to play games and find things that interest them, and with this site they would need a certain amount of knowledge or vocabulary to even understand the steps they need to take. Teenagers and older are the ones who are most likely to be intrigued with this website for by this time they would be exploring the different kinds of things that they can learn by themselves.


As for me I find this website very useful since I am starting to learn more about how to edit photos or create my own kind of animation with the use of Photoshop. There may be other great Photoshop tutorial websites but compared to a lot of Photoshop tutorial websites that I have visited I never found site that carried complete information and easy accessibility like PSDTUTS. I can find everything that I need or would want to learn with this website.
