Today..

Today we had a lecture about what we should already know about using software. I was shocked at how much a learned from this and it reminded me that since the start of the year, 6 months ago, I have improved my technical ability so much. The first piece of work I created for  the Visual Communication module I did using Microsoft Word, because of my lack of experience in Photoshop and other programs that I hadn't even heard of. Now, to say that i'd never even heard of Illustrator or InDesign and now I can create basic documents in them, is a big achievement. I feel like i've grown so much in the last six months, even more so than when I was at school. 


Also today, I had an essay seminar that allowed me to see what everyone else had been doing in their essays as well as receiving advice on my own. I got positive advice about my essay as I said I was basing it on ideas such as club flyers and book covers. I think what the advice I found most important was how to start the essay and set it out. The only thing I wish could have happened is to of received some advice about my book cover as I feel like I can't carry on with it unless I know I'm doing the right thing. Will try again tomorrow!
