Photography
Need a plan to collect photos that will help tell your school’s story? The session SmartPHONEography: Using the Storytelling Device you always have helps you capture these memorable moments and encourage others in your school community to do the same. 

Looking for just the right photo? The session Finding Fantastic Photos online: What you need to know will offer great tips on how to access online images available for free use.

Photographers know even the smallest detail matters when capturing the perfect shot. Learn how to keep the smallest of details sharp in the Adobe Camera Raw session. Dr. Timothy Gleason explores how to use this software to transfer and edit your pictures to preserve the highest quality.  

Once you’ve added your photos into PhotoShop, now what? Learn the ins and outs of Adobe Photoshop and how to edit the perfect picture. Get your hands dirty with the Adobe PhotoShop bootcamp series to hear about the latest visual design trends that will make your pages stand out.

Sometimes the perfect graphic for your piece needs some tweaking and editing. Tune into Adobe Image Editing Sessions 1 and 2 to see how to seamlessly combine multiple photos within Photoshop. Learn different tactics on how to intricately add and subtract from photos to create the perfect piece. Sometimes that perfect piece might need words in it, and learning how to combine pictures and words to produce a stunning title or word graphic is session 2.

Graphic Design
To make the most effective piece, there needs to be a reason behind every step in the process. Your pictures and graphics need to be important and related to the words it is with. Watch Carter Uslabar unpack how to create successful and cohesive pieces in Visual Design Trends: Making Your Pages Pop. In this video, Carter explains how to choose the best photos and how their placement plays a role in their effectiveness.
