Reflection

This week in class we were asked to begin using InDesign and Photoshop. I had really been looking forward to learning these programs since they can do some really cool things.

With InDesign I had a lot of fun and felt like I understood the basics pretty well. When I was finished with the InDesign assignment I was happy with what I had recreated and I’m looking forward to using the program again. I think my reaction was positive because I was excited about it and felt successful when it was over.

In Photoshop we were asked to choose a photo and edit it. I was also really excited to learn how to use this program so I reacted well when we were asked to do this. When I actually began working on it, however, I got kind of frustrated. I think I reacted that way because it was a lot more difficult than it looked when we were learning it and I didn’t expect that.

Even though Photoshop was difficult, I know it will get easier the more I use it. I’m looking forward to the next assignments that use both of these programs so that I can improve my skills with them.
