Week 15: Spivack

I have always wanted to learn the Adobe Programs and I knew that I would FINALLY get the chance this semester. I absolutely loved the planning and sketching that was involved in coming up with ideas; it allowed you to be super creative in your design. I am definitely not an artist, but I found graphic arts to be more of my niche. I learned so much in this class but the one thing that stood out to me would be now important nitpicking details of a graphic piece. I find myself reading brochures and reading magazine and criticizing the graphics. Another crucial lesson that I learned is that simple=good; in this fast paced world, people have no time to sort through clutter to find pertinent information. I feel that I have improved a great deal, and my friends and family agree. I will most definitely put the skills that I learned in this class to good use when I begin to work in the advertising field.
