Tutorial critques

I was pretty pleased with the tutorial “Design a Hand Drawn Style Website in Photoshop” because the designer was really detailed. They included exact pictures of each step so the person following their steps would feel like they were on the same page and wouldn’t get lost. However, there were a few times when they said “I will do...” or “I did…” without even telling you how they did it. The tutorial “Stylish WebStudio Web Layout” was, in my opinion, a dud. It was off to a good start at first but then it just…ended. I’m not really sure how it happened…but it got about halfway through the design and then ended. Overall, I wasn’t very impressed with it. The last tutorial I went through was the “Online Photo Portfolio”…and it definitely left something to be desired. For the most part, I already know how to do everything they included in their instructions. I was expecting them to tell me how to create the majority of the design, but they just left me hanging.  I got overly excited about learning how to create a fun, clean, and appealing portfolio such as the one that was provided, but I didn’t. I was disappointed. I think they were all helpful in that what they did explain and demonstrate they did so with great detail…but I still feel they could have included more to help the follower feel like they accomplished something more.
