In this tutorial we will discuss how to make front page for assignments and projects by using Adobe Photoshop. Most of the students use MS Word to make front page but it does not present uniqueness. Adobe Photoshop can give your assignments and projects more professional look.
There are many versions of Adobe Photoshop available in market like Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS4 etc, I will recommend you to install Adobe Photoshop CS version in your PC. Please use registered version because by using unregistered version you wont be able to use some features.
Note :- Before making front page in Adobe Photoshop, sketch the image in your mind that in which pattern you going to design the page, it depends on your ideas and how you will use the tools of Adobe Photoshop. So every time you are going to work in Adobe Photoshop, make an image in your mind first that what will you implement?
