In-Depth Information
Adobe Bridge is a separate program that comes with Photoshop (see Chapter 12,
“Developing Photos”). As an alternative method of presenting images, you can use
Bridge to create an onscreen slide show complete with a soundtrack or output a
web gallery for online presentation on a website.
Participating in the design Process
The design process can perhaps best be visualized as a helix because this 3D
shape combines the notion of forward progress through time with cycles of
design revision (see Figure 1.2). The radius of the helix diminishes with height
as you or your design team converges on final design solutions through time.

Every project is different, and complex projects with many actors can seem-
ingly take on lives of their own. Every project, no matter the scale, is an
opportunity to learn something new and refine your technical skills while
strengthening your professional relationships.
Learning Composition Principles
Seasoned creative professionals have developed an eye for composition that informs
their work and personal styles. We all know, or more accurately
feel
, beauty when
we see and experience it. The key to “learning how to see” is to bring your con-
scious attention to understanding what gives you aesthetic feelings.
Learning how to see with an artist's, designer's, or photographer's eye is
largely an ineffable process that naturally grows and matures over many years.
