Photoshop Pxl_shft series launched

“Any creative who is doing compelling Photoshop work and has a penchant for public speaking is encouraged to participate as a presenter,” says Mohammed Jogie, principal at my main mojo, the joint organiser with Kadoro Events and Communications.

The conference is designed to showcase some of the best talent through lecture-style how-to's, portfolio showings and addressing everyday creative challenges. With the impending release of CS5, attendees will get to see new features, as well as favourites like making fire and water, channel wizardry, tricky selections, retouching and more. There will also be an opportunity for portfolio showings towards the end of the day as well. Anybody interested in either speaking or presenting their work can submit their work online.
