How do you create your first graphic design via Photoshop?
For today, Adobe has you covered. They have listed a few tips on how to create your first graphic design.
1.    Get to know layers - Layers are the building blocks of any Photoshop design. Start building this layered design by creating a new layer for original artwork and by adding one image to another. Along the way, you'll become familiar with the Layers panel, and you'll learn the essentials of working with layers.

2.    Combine images using layer masks - Layer masks are the most flexible way to combine images. A layer mask hides part of a layer to display what's on the layers below. Use layer masks in this design to replace a dull sky in one image with dramatic clouds from another and to gradually blend artwork into the rest of the design.

3.    Add text and effects - Add text to your design. Then embellish the text with creative layer effects for a unique look. Learn how to work with Type layers, and use Typekit to access a treasure trove of exciting fonts.

4.    Include vector graphics - Photoshop isn't just for photographs. Take your design further by making custom shapes in Photoshop and placing a logo made in Adobe Illustrator. Vector graphics like these can be scaled and edited as much as you like.

5.    Export and save the design - Save your design in PSD format to retain its layers and effects for future editing. Then save or export copies for different uses. Save a copy as a PDF for sharing, and use Photoshop's Export features to export all or part of the design in web-friendly formats.

“Design’s fundamental role is problem solver.”

Design Thinking: How Designers Solve Problems According to Emilie Johnston from CloudApp, Designers have a unique way of seeing the world and that perspective can add some major value to the business. But a traditional task-oriented design mindset won't get you there. Here are some of the ways great designers innovate their way to the top. Make problem-solving the priority The colors, the creativity, the endless possibilities for how to make a product better, easier, sexier. Hands down, the BEST thing about design, is that it's fun.
