Semester Reflection

I feel that I have learned a lot this semester! Before taking graphic design, I didn't have any knowledge of the programs Illustrator or Photoshop. Now, I am familiar with them and I hope next semester I can become more comfortable when working with these programs. I have also learned many different color schemes, what colors look good together, and how to arrange different things to make a page more appealing. I really like using clipping masks on Photoshop to erase parts of images, as well as creating images out of text using Illustrator. Next semester, I hope to improve my work and be more creative. I enjoy working on the assignments and challenging myself with new things!
