This week we were asked to just continue working on our business cards and letterheads for the final draft. I responded to the assignments easily because they were not too difficult to complete; just editing here and there and adding and deleting. I went back to my comments I received on the peer reviews and just normal commenting to see what I needed to fix or completely change if necessary. I realized those assignments actually helped prepare the final drafts I have now finished. I think I did a better job than I had imagined, but I still know there is room for improvement, there always is.
Honestly, I do not wish to actually take these designs anywhere outside this class. I don’t think they are good enough, at least as of right now to do more with them. Overall I feel like I am becoming more and more confident with both programs we have been using but I am still working on that. I am farther along then I was the first week or two, but not as far as some people I feel like.
For any recommendations, I would suggest to really practice with InDesign and Photoshop because that’s the only way to get better. Also, do all the tutorial videos and practice exercises and if needed continue to find help on certain aspects you may not know how to do. For example, I have searched Google for videos specifying certain things I haven’t been able to figure out.

Also these are two links I found with real pictures of Under Armour business cards, which is where I got my inspiration from:
