PS Crash Course

Have you ever wondered how other businesses can share gorgeous, perfectly framed, wonderfully branded images all the time?

They must have a professional photographer, a graphic designer, and a huge budget, right?

Wrong.

Their secret weapon isn't a million bucks to spend on fabulous tools and experts, it's using the right tool for the job.

And the right tool is Photoshop.  

But hold on - don't panic! 

If you've looked at Photoshop before, you might feel totally intimidated by the bazillion tools inside that don't look intuitive at all.

It’s true. Photoshop is overwhelming when you’re just getting started!

But I've got MY secret weapon - one I’ve kept all to myself because it's so good, and so vital to my business.

Finally, I'm ready to share my secret weapon with you… 

It's Ellen Russell!

Ellen was my very first team member here at Brilliant Business Moms, and she’s been using Photoshop magic since 2015 to create:

Beautiful Product Landing Pages - complete with custom fonts and textures

Gorgeous Pins for Pinterest (and some of them go viral!)

Product Mock-ups -- so we can take one gorgeous product photo and turn it into 5 more by inserting new items into the scene!

Digital Product Shots -- so we can bring our courses and eBooks to life by showing them on computers, ipads, and other screens.

Fun, Engaging Gifs that add personality to every post and landing page!

Clean, crisp product shots -- so we never have to worry about perfect lighting, because Ellen can fix everything digitally inside Photoshop!

Compelling freebie graphics, so our printables come to life with realistic drop shadows and desktop layouts.
