Instructor and Photoshop artist Sherry London has been featured in numerous magazines for her design work including Mac World, Electronic Publishing and Design. She also writes the "Tips and Tricks"column for Photoshop User magazine.Held entirely online via the Internet, these classes offer the flexibility to open lessons whenever your schedule allows and feature discussion boards with the instructor and other students.
