Tech: Learn Some Great Photoshop Techniques With Smashing Magazine

Adobe Photoshop is an incredible graphic design program. Although it isn't the easiest program to learn, persistent playing around (and a semester's worth of Photoshop lessons) has allowed me to create some eye catching designs that have tremendously benefited the marketing of my teen programs.  If you would like to learn how to use the Adobe Creative suite, or just looking for new ways to add some dazzle to your posters, handouts, or blog (4YA was lovingly designed with Photoshop and Illustrator), please take a look at my one favorite design blogs Smashing Magazine and their amazing collection of Photoshop tutorials.  Some of their projects are a little advanced, but with over 70 tutorials, there is certainly something for everyone.
