Top 10 Photoshop World Survival Tips

1. Attire

Wear comfortable shoes, and layers of clothing or at least an extra sweater. The A/C can vary by room and sometimes is cold.

2. Sustenance

Bring snacks, save a few bucks and pack a lunch. Also it’s a good idea to bring water.

3. Download the PSW app

Plan your schedule ahead of time on your iPad or iPhone.

4. Use the big handout book

Resolve schedule conflicts with the handy, yet large, PSW directory. Be sure to review the available class notes for content hints.

5. Arrive early

You’ll be able to sit closer to the front, get organized, and relax, if you arrive early.

6. Pack light

While there’s room for everyone, it’s not easy or comfortable with big bags and stuff spread all around.

7. Take notes

Take lots of notes, be on the look out for little hidden gems.

8. Be a good neighbor

This may seem obvious, but turn off your phone, be quiet, don’t shuffle around during presentations.

9. Change it up

Attend some sessions out of your comfort zone or normal routine. You’ll be surprised what you’ll discover!

10 Pace yourself

Be prepared to start having creative thoughts like you’ve never imagined. And, if you’re not already, plan on becoming hooked on learning more and more about Photoshop on a regular basis.

You will be surrounded by Photoshop knowledge, but don’t fear. Go confidently and steady, make no false moves and you will survive. Actually you’ll do more than survive, your Photoshop skills, productivity, and creativity are sure to thrive and grow by leaps and bounds.
