Get Ready to Unlock Your Creativity! Join Corey Barker as he guides you through his creative process and examines the various tools and functions inside Elements. After learning the basics, Corey pushes beyond the obvious to show you how to achieve unbelievable effects. He explains the "why's" and "how to's" of some common features inside Elements and then takes you into the "what if's" of these functions through experimentation. This course is designed to build upon each lesson, meaning every lesson employs some principle or technique learned from the previous lesson. These all culminate into the final four lessons in which you combine all the techniques you have learned and incorporate them into a final design project. If you have ever wondered how certain effects are created in Elements, or even just how to go about experimenting with your own effects, this course will jump start your creativity and show you how to get the most out of your work.
