Wrap Up

What have learned from this class?

The main thing that I learned from this class is how to use the main programs in Adobe Creative Suite 4. I now have a fundamental background in using InDesign, PhotoShop, and Illustrator; something I had no knowledge of before this class. With my major being Newspaper Journalism, being able to use these programs will come in handy for designing the layout of a newspaper or how I want my article to appear in a Newspaper. In addition I can use these programs for future projects and other things like that.

what did you or didn't you enjoy?

I really enjoyed the lab sections of this class, although sometimes they were very boring they were very helpful and informative. In all honesty I found the class itself kind of pointless because I didn't learn much from the lecture portions. My favorite project was both the magazine layout and the logo design. I also like creating a wordmark for the resume. The resume is something I will be able to use for a while.

what didn't you expect?

I didn't really expect the projects to be as frustrating as some of them were. Making things look like what I wanted them to on the computer was so difficult and frustrating.
