My First Beer Label
And my realization that I SUCK at photoshop....
I decided to call my latest batch of homebrew Rosie IPA (in honor of the Puppy's first christmas) and I had an idea for a label in mind. After stumbling and bumbling through the wealth of photoshop tutorials I realized that I SUCK AT PHOTOSHOP. Actually, let me clarify, I suck and graphic designing in Photoshop. I can rock Bridge + Camera Raw for photo editing, but when it comes to graphics and text and layouts and layers I SUCK. It took me an hour to figure out how to draw a rectangle that fit across the top third of the canvas!!
Anyway, I stumbled through it and I'm actually pretty happy with the result:
The crazy thing is that I think I can do all of this even easier in the simplified editor that comes with Snagit!
