This week we were asked to create a direct mailer for OU recruitment services. I hadn’t used photoshop in a while so when I opened it I felt like all my knowledge was all gone. I’m not going to lie I spent way too much time figuring out how to do certain things rather than coming up with a design. I feel like I’m really struggling with these programs and they are bringing me a lot of stress. I watched all of the tutorials but sometimes my programs don’t do what happened in the tutorials. The design assignments generally stress me out a lot and tend to make me freak out. Once I got my assignment done, I was relieved and the stress went away. I felt like I did a pretty good job for being so confused on how to work photoshop. My reaction to these assignments is always the same so i;m never surprised by my reactions. I get stress because I’m overwhelmed and out of my comfort zone, which hopefully will more practice can soon change.
Here’s my work so far
