Reviews of Nakta’s In-Person Classes

I’m currently taking Nakta’s photoshop design class. I found Photoshop difficult and challenging to work with because I couldn’t apply what I’d learned when trying to use the features. After trying out various exercises, my confidence in applying what I’ve learned is growing. -
I learned many useful tips and tricks, including shortcuts and features that I didn’t know even existed. His explanations are detailed and thorough, which I found very helpful! I’d like to recommend his class to those who don’t feel confident with using Photoshop. -
I was a complete beginner who didn’t even know how to download Photoshop. But Nakta’s class taught me everything I needed and more. Now I understand the principles of Photoshop and can apply them to create things on my own. I learned more from taking his class than I did from an academy course.
I especially recommend it to those who have a Photoshop certification but want to learn some useful, applicable tips. This class is incredibly valuable as it simplifies all the fundamentals and offers practical tips that can be immediately applied to real-world design projects! -

Interview
Graphic Artist Nakta
Why did you choose this specific topic?
This class uses Firefly, Adobe’s new AI tool, to create highly practical designs and even artwork projects. The objective of this class is to speed up the work process and produce quality artwork using an AI tool, instead of simply generating aesthetically pleasing images with it.
What makes your class different from other classes?
I focused on designing a practical and applicable curriculum that enables students to actively incorporate AI in their design projects and digital artwork. I will share all my tips and expertise to increase work speed and efficiency by strategically using both existing Photoshop features and Adobe Firefly.
What would be the most important takeaway from your class?
Among the numerous AI tools, Adobe Firefly is the most intuitive and can be a good second tool for designers and digital artists who already use a graphic design program. This class is designed to help you understand how to utilize and study Firefly and establish your process for creating AI designs and artwork.
Required Programs
This class uses Adobe Photoshop. Please purchase and install the same version of the program as the one used in the class for an optimal learning experience.
