GooD FiT ?

 Now that we are finished the second course what are your thoughts?

Matt has asked this question to all my classmates.

I must say Photoshop felt like coming home in a sense as it is the most familiar piece of software we have learned. After Effects was totally new to me. It has some of the same drive ability components of the other Adobe Creative Suit family software. I found it challenging working with the keyframes. Having a plan and being organized seemed to help. Not sure if I would continue to pursue a career with After Effects.

 Are you finding the program to be a good fit?

YES! oh wow!  I'm so happy and excited to be involved in the program.
For the past three years I've wanted to learn Web Development.
I could see the print industry changing before my eyes, I've always been a "techie" and knew I need to address my lack of web development skills. I'm curious to see how my brain is going to handle programming. My close friends say you'll get it
- your the "Geeky-Girl" !!

Sore Brain

I've been studying for a couple of hours now - my brain is starting to hurt.
Its difficult trying to remember all the required steps in doing complex Photoshop work.
Not to be pretentious, I've had some prior experience with the software.
There is a certain level of comfort in the familiarity of it all, I'm hoping I do well on the exam tomorrow.
Thank goodness we have our "Photoshop Workbook" plus have access to the internet for help files.
For me I think the biggest challenge will be to slow my thinking down, take time to read, comprehend the instructions and do some initial planning. Once I have reviewed the given material I can then plan my course of action and execute upon it. 


Here is wish me all the best for my 1st of many exam's in this course!!
"CHEERS"!!

What lead ME to enroll in the Web Design program?

The print company I had been working for over 10 years went bankrupt in Feb 2010.
This gave me the opportunity to really think about my future.
I wanted to utilize some of the skills I acquired while working over 20 years in the print industry. Having a technical background, doing digital layout set up for printing, being involved with computers, and basic network management it was logical to progress into web design and development.
As an alumni of Conestoga College it was only natural to look at the course selection here. I'm so happy to be participating in this program with a rich group experienced people.
