This is a class I would like everyone who is interested in Photoshop to listen to


Hello,Digital art artist and graphic designerI'm Satoshi Kusuda (Satoshi Kusuda). NormallyWhile holding solo exhibitions, I create graphics for companies such as apparel, department stores, TV stations, etc., and artists.

Utilizing these experiences, this class will teach you how to make a photo collage using Photoshop.Collage is a technique for combining multiple materials or images. Among them, finishing a work by cutting and pasting photos is called a “photo collage.”


Once you have acquired photo collage skills, it is possible to create images like this. In addition, there are many places where you can make use of your skills, such as simple composite photos, visual production of posters and leaflets, etc.

In photo collages that seem difficult at first glance, suppressing techniques used by professionals is a shortcut to improving

“I've done collages and composites using Photoshop, but they don't fit in well.”

“The layout just doesn't work”

“I can't make a work with a good sense of taste”


Have you ever had this kind of trouble?

Actually, photo collages are detailed, but there are a few points I want to keep in mind.

For example, having a firm understanding of basic tools, identifying situations, and using them properly, efficient image synthesis methods,Techniques for blending materials well with each other, layout tips, etc.

It's not flashy, butPoints that make a big difference between knowing and not knowingYa,Techniques I usually useI will introduce it.

The lesson content is such that even beginners can steadily level up, so let's have fun creating works of various genres together!

The materials used for collages are distributed as they are and ready to use

This class is not just a classroom, but a practical format where you actually move your hands to create examples. The materials used to finish the work by layering layers will be distributed in a cut out state. It's ready to use right out of the box, so you can get started without any preparation or hassle.

Enjoy the fun of creating many different worlds and stories depending on how you combine the materials

Once you understand the basics and points, you will be able to apply them, and the result will be a more complex work.

In order to actually give shape to the image you have imagined,How do you think, what tools do you use to operate, and decide on a layoutKnowledge such as this is also important. For example, even if you want to express “light,” there are a number of approaches, such as adjusting the brightness to add shadows, or adding white to make it stand out.

This class included plenty of content such as specific procedures and ideas for each. There are plenty of contents, but don't worry, they carefully lecture on places where you might stumble upon.
