Practice with Images There is no better way to learn the ins and outs of a digital arts program like Adobe Photoshop or InDesign than by getting into it and using it yourself for real-world applications. Whether you're learning the software for work or simply for fun, try editing a real project that you're working on in the program. Everyone learns differently, but jumping into the deep end like this can be an effective way to learn. However, it's important to save the original version of the file you're playing with. Working with a real project is fine, but you must ensure the original is preserved from your tinkering. Pursue Education Opportunities Many local community colleges and technical schools offer actual education courses for you to pursue in digital arts technology. For instance, if your company hires you in an editorial capacity but would like for you to learn more about graphic design, it can help you buy an essay for a course load at a local school at night. There are also classes available in website design, HTML, and coding, all of which are invaluable digital arts skills. Even if your work won't subsidize it, these courses can be very helpful later when you're trying to land a new job.
