You Know the basics, But Your designs still feel amaetur?

It’s not your fault — Photoshop is a beast. Without the right workflow, it’s easy to stay stuck.

Most designers hit a wall when their work doesn’t look or feel pro — not realising the issue is structure, not skill. In this course, you’ll learn how to control the software like a pro, apply advanced techniques, and design with clarity and purpose.

By the end, you’ll be creating layered compositions, image edits, mockups, and artwork that demand attention — with total creative confidence.

What You will Achieve

Create graphics that genuinely look professional

No more flat, dull visuals — you’ll build polished, portfolio-ready designs using advanced tools, layered structure, and real-world workflows.

Finally understand Photoshop — and actually use it like a pro

No fluff or filler. Every technique is explained clearly, so you can stop second-guessing your process and focus on creating powerful, polished work.

Design faster, smarter, and with total control

You’ll stop randomly clicking around and start working with precision, flow, and intention — even on complex compositions, mockups or photo edits.

What's inside the master class?

The examples below are just a tease of that's in store. Inside, you’ll find full workflows, real design projects, and everything you need to level-up.

Retouch images to a flawless, professional standard

Learn how to clean up and enhance skin, hair, eyes and details with total precision — without overdoing it. You’ll master non-destructive retouching techniques used in high-end commercial workflows, from cutting out tricky hair to subtly boosting clarity and colour in your edits.

After

Create striking photo manipulations and surreal composites

Go beyond reality with advanced compositing. You’ll learn how to combine multiple images, balance lighting, add atmospheric effects and blend elements seamlessly — turning ordinary assets into cinematic, high-impact artwork that tells a story.

Before
After

Design posters, business cards and branded graphics that look pro

Don’t just make things — make them look amazing. You’ll learn how to craft eye-catching graphics and present them in sharp, realistic mockups. Whether it’s a poster, business card or social banner, your designs will come across polished, intentional, and ready to show off.

Before
After

Design responsive web layouts like a designer, not a decorator

From wireframes to landing pages, you’ll learn the structure and thinking behind clean, responsive web and UI design. You’ll map layouts, define hierarchy, and present work in a way that looks modern, real-world, and portfolio-ready.

Before
After

Illustrate standout stickers, badges, icons, and realistic illustrations

Break out of bland shapes and start building graphics that pop. Whether it’s a badge, sticker, icon or merch artwork, you’ll use Photoshop’s illustration tools to create bold, expressive visuals that feel designed — not generic.

Before
After

Animate your work in Photoshop or After Effects

Bring your artwork to life with simple but powerful motion design techniques. You’ll learn how to animate in Photoshop with frame animation, or perhaps you'll take your work into After Effects, and enhance it with audio and visual effects to create export-ready animations.

Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful.

Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful in just the first few lessons. There are so many little things that we are not taught in school that I am learning here. Dansky speaks very clearly and is incredibly knowledgeable making it easy to follow. I totally recommend for beginners especially, but to the experienced designer as well to learn more useful tips and tricks.
