Shoptard (or 'Shoptard) is an individual possessing little to no Photoshop
skill or experience, but who claims to be a legend in it. Most Shoptards
will, however, seek out training by way of tutorials found on many websites, but their final results are rarely, if ever, anything like the tutorials.
Shoptards' work is easy to replicate, as long as you have the ability to open and
use filters, and
heavy use of both bevel/emboss and lens flare.
Shoptards are also easily identifiable through their constant insistence that
gothic fonts are a good idea, and that print design in Photoshop is perfectly acceptable, if only because they don't know how to use Illustrator either.

common Shoptard "Creative Process" in action:
"I don't know whether to use the 35mm or 50mm
prime lens
flare for this, but either way it's gonna look PRO..."
