Throughout this trimester in graphic design, there are so many valuable things that I have learned. One of them is that I have learned how to use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. These are extremely valuable tools to know how to use. Not only do I know how to use them, but I feel proficient in being able to use them which is really important. I have also learned to be a more of a creative thinker. I do not need someone to tell me what I should make but I can now come up with my own ideas of what I want to make. In order to help future students be successful in this course, I think that it is really important that you let them play around with each of the applications just like you allowed us to explore each of the tools without an overload of information. It is important however, to have some direction when just starting out on Photoshop and Illustrator and I do wish that I had more direction when starting out on these applications. You are an amazing teacher Ms. Frisco and I am so glad that I got to get to know you. I feel that you gave us enough time to experiment in both of these applications as well as I feel that you definitely gave me enough time to explore my own interests in this course. I loved the freedom of being able to choose what we wanted to make and I cannot wait to see where my graphic design capabilities will take me in the future!
