I'm only a couple videos into the course, but from previous experience with other courses and videos by Deke, I know I'll have a deeper and richer knowledge of the subject matter when I complete the course. I really appreciate the fast pace skills he is teaching in this course. Working in the signage and vehicle wrap industry, there are a lot of quick turn arounds needed on both a daily and weekly basis. I totally agree, sometimes you just need to get a design done or at least be able to move it along and do not have the time to create something from scratch!

Course details
Designers and nondesigners alike have projects, presentations, and mockups that require graphics. Programs like Adobe Photoshop help you create graphics quickly—in time for your next meeting—with no drawing necessary. This course is all about custom shapes: representative icons, figures, and silhouettes grouped by the dozens in the Photoshop Shapes panel. But just because Photoshop provides hundreds upon hundreds of custom shapes doesn’t mean that you’re going to find the exact one you’re looking for. In this course, Deke McClelland teaches you how to create your own custom shapes using the Custom Shape tool, refine and reshape to shapes perfection in Adobe Illustrator, and even trace a photographic element using the automated Image Trace feature. Deke also explains how to shave away unwanted anchor points with the Simplify command, and add an elaborate custom shape—of your own making—to a piece of vector-based artwork. The best part is, you never need to draw a single line.
