If you run a business that promotes messages on social media, it's essential to create great graphic content to accompany your posts. 87% of Facebook fan engagement happens with posts that include photos and that Tweets with images receive 150% more retweets than those without them? It’s no surprise, then, that 74% of social media marketers use visual assets in their social media marketing.
Photoshop is ideally suited to allow you to customize images so that your brand can appear professional, creative, and unique. On this practical course you will learn how to modify and enhance images in Photoshop to give them an impactful social media presence.
