Semester Review

This semester I learned how to navigate Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. It's great to know these things because before they just seemed like too much work to me. Now I like working in Photoshop although it did take getting used to from switching to it from GIMP.

What I would change for next semester would be how many blogs there are. I don't mind blogs but when there are projects and blogs to do plus the other work for school it's a little difficult to keep up with. I believe there should be less or so...
