IT session

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign


I had to choose a photo of myself. I don’t have many pictures of myself, so I ended up cropping a family picture. I used a pen tool from Adobe Photoshop to crop my image. 

I have used Photoshop before but never gotten used to it. Every time I use Photoshop, it feels like it is my first time. I found it extremely frustrating and I ended up lacking behind throughout. By the time the teacher moved on to the next task, I was still stuck on the first task. I listened to her when she was showing us what we need to do next, but after I asked for help for the first task, I already forgotten what she taught us for second task. This scenario happened a lot of times, when we were using Photoshop. 

Then, I had to select an image, from the internet that relates to your future career path, which for me is interior design. The interior image would be used as a background. I realized in the image there were no places to put the picture of myself to, so I decided to have myself behind the windows. I adjusted the image, making my image appear like I’m outside the house. 

Next, we went on to Adobe Illustrator to create 5 logos design. I experimented using the arc tool and the type tool. Also, the anchor on each letter, allows me to stretch and move about each letter. I also played with fill colour and stroke weight, just to make the words to stand out more. I really enjoyed using Illustrator, I had fun experimenting and playing around with the tools. I had to select one of the logos and did more experiments with it. I tried mainly changing the colours.

Later, we used Adobe Indesign, where I add the logo to the image I did earlier. We had to write 200 words describing myself in the future and my work. Using the anchor points I adjusted the text box like the stairs in the image. Unfortunately, I just discover that I did not save the file properly, unable to access the work I did on Indesign.
