Today there are very few aspects of our lives not affected by computer graphics. Practically most of our daily computer operations like social media posts, presentations and charts involves  computer graphics.

“A picture is worth a thousand words” is a well-known saying and highlights the advantages and benefits of the visual presentation of our information. We are able to obtain a comprehensive overall view of our activities and also study features and areas of particular interest. Whether you see them on television, in newspapers, in weather reports or while at the doctor’s surgery, computer images are all around you.

Overview of Computer Graphics

Computer graphics courses enable students to create attractive computer designs, and later study advances in the field depending on areas of interest. Computer graphics courses are available through certificate programs  in computer graphics and computer animation. These programs not only teach students to work with computer graphics but may also provide instruction in possible future courses for each student like  website design, digital video production, photography, and application programming.

An introductory course such as this examines techniques for creating 2D and 3D designs using computer graphics software. Students gain experience representing designs using shading and texturing techniques. Experimentation with different graphic design options is encouraged. Computer graphics courses like this one often introduce students to the basics of designing animations.They practice using computer graphics programs in different situations and develop basic skills that can be built upon later.

Introduction to Microsoft Powerpoint

Microsoft PowerPoint is a software product used to perform computer-based presentations. There are various circumstances in which a presentation is made: teaching a class, introducing a product to sell, explaining an organizational structure, etc.

Microsoft PowerPoint is a professional presentation program that allows the
user to create “presentation slides” that can be displayed on the computer
screen or through a projector that is plugged into the computer. A
PowerPoint presentation is a good way to convey pieces of information,
usually in the form of an outline, to a large audience. Generally, PowerPoint
presentations are appealing to users because they are easy to create and edit
and generally small enough to fit onto a CD or a USB Jump Drive.
Therefore, a user does not have to carry around any slides or slide projector,
and, if necessary, can make any last-minute changes to the presentation.

Introduction to Adobe Photoshop

I guess the first thing to think about is ‘Why Photoshop’? Why should you bother spending the time to use this software? The reasons can vary, but it comes down to a few key thoughts. Photoshop is the premiere software for manipulating or creating raster based images. It can also be used to design an infinite number of projects. So if you have any need to work with digital (or scanned) photographs, or want to create backgrounds, or images for websites, or a poster for your lost kitten or just paint a picture- Photoshop is a great tool to have.

Now Photoshop is not the only tool for these uses, but it is the most popular because it is so versatile. It is also an ‘industry standard’, meaning that if you were to work with digital imagery professionally, your employer would expect you to know how to use Photoshop. So there’s your second reason for learning it.

In a nutshell, Photoshop is versatile, powerful and popular. If it’s graphic design or digital imaging you’re after, it’s a great program to know.
