Learning to use new software and equipment takes time and practice. The Digital Design Studio(DDS) offers select open workshops for those looking to get hands on training. The guides below can help with this process as well.
We also highly recommend signing up for Udemy and following their training videos for the software you are working in. These video tutorials are comprehensive and cover almost every tool you’ll need to start working in a new software.
