Throughout this entire year that I've been in Digital Design and Art 1, I've acquired many skills from many different software's and overall increased my knowledge of technology. The first thing I'd like to talk about is how I've been able to learn so much in Photoshop. Photoshop I think is the one software that I'll continue to use primarily throughout my life. We've been able to use so many different Adobe software's but I think that Adobe Photoshop is the one that kinda combines all the good things that the others have, and put it all into one. Photoshop has an insane amount of applications and is fairly simple to use. The thing about Photoshop that is so great is how it has such a learning curve. Even right when you start out and don't understand 90% of the interface, you still have a lot at your disposal. Even if you only know how to just use filters or how to just use blending, you still can do so much with what you have. Another piece of software that I really enjoyed using because of how simple yet useful it is, is Premiere. If I ever create a video for anything, it is super simple to make that video a whole lot better by using Premiere. Adobe Premiere can let you adjust audio levels, add background music, create new transitions and a lot more. Overall, one big takeaway I've received from this class is simply how I have adapted to understanding the interface of basically anything in a more precise manner. Before my year in Digital design, whenever I would look at a complicated interface such as Photoshop, I wouldn't know how or where to start. Now that I've been able to use many different software's throughout the course of a year, I am much more able to understand the interface of any website or software with much more ease. This year in Digital Design has been amazing in how it has thoroughly developed my skill and knowledge of digital history, software and animation. Summary -
