E-Comm Reflection

In Graphic design, I learned how to work with and better understand adobe photoshop that way I could improve the skills that I already have which is really satisfying. I would have to say that the tutorials our class got is what really helped me the most, but the projects we did just show cased how well we knew the skills which was really helpful because it helped know whether or not you need to keep practicing that skill or if you could work on learning a new one and incorporating it with your other skills that you have learned.

Although it was because of all the tutorials our class got that helped me learn the new skills but it was really the projects we had that would show if I had actually learned the skill instead of just following the tutorial to get those few points that would help my end grade. I also learned from google because sometimes the tutorials wouldn't help and or you just wanted to see if there was a new or faster to learn the skills you have.

I feel that learning how to work with and better understand photoshop is important because in the future it may be one of the programs that I fall back on when I go into my career of video game graphic design. Even though it won't be my primary program, it will likely be the one that I use to do all my rough drafts on before I go into the main program so I have an idea of what I will have to work on in the main program.

My greatest strengths were on the projects that I did do, I did them to the best of my ability finding a way to make them better. Even though I didn't do all of my projects I did enough of them to know over %50 of the skills that our class learned. It's not like if i want to learn more skills I can't look them up on youtube or maybe email someone that knows a lot about the skill so they can tell me how to so do it. Some of my weaknesses were that I didn't do all of the projects because for some odd reason I didn't feel that it wouldn't benefit me and I just didn't feel like doing them at all.

With all that i've learned I will probably keep practicing and building onto the skills I already have and use them in my future career of being a video game developer. Other than that I really don't know what else I will do with it all maybe just use it for future personal projects or something. I guess we will find out.

Is there anything that I would change? I know one thing I would change is the way Ms. Lofquist taught us. Although she did show us a few tutorials here and there she would always tell us to google everything and find a way to do it. And then when we asked for help she would just tell us to google it. Not to mention that she definitely had favorites in the class *cough* *cough* Ben *cough* *cough* Bens cool though, he was basically a teacher to everyone and he was really nice so thats a plus.

In conclusion this year was okay the projects were fun it just the students and the teacher that made it very unenjoyable which kind of killed my vibe when I was in class because I'd always be pissed off or annoyed.
