We were not required to complete a blog for this subject but to see any of the material I made for this project you can check out my portfolio and my classmates portfolio for examples of work completed for this course.

Insiders Hints and Tips

I have very little to offer here as advice as I was already very familiar with Adobe Creative Cloud software before commmencing this course. Many people were having trouble at the beginning using these but while it was tough at the start, the user friendly interface in the Adobe Suite is quick to get a grasp of. Almost noone needed learning support and managed to learn how to use the software with a little help with Lynda.com. It is worth while investing time learning how to use Photoshop/Illustrator as it is a very good skill to have for other assignments and projects!
