The Adobe Creative Suite offers a multitude of programs that can be used to explore one's own creativity. The possibilities are seemingly limitless; individuals have made very successful careers by honing their ability to manipulate electronic media using the creative suite.
Unfortunately most individuals do not have the time or drive to learn these programs in their entirety and can become discouraged or 'lost' in the programs. Adobe's logical design offers solutions to these types of sentiments. Rafael Concepcion is a professional photographer and Adobe certified instructor. In his blog post entitled "Create a Marketing Ad using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Types and Shapes," Concepcion suggests spending some time configuring Photoshop in order to make it "as big (or small) as you want it" by using only the panels and features that you know and are familiar with. As your skill level increases more features can be explored and your Photoshop experience can become more customized (Concepcion, 2010).
