Essential Question #5

We set up two templates for cards because we need landscape and portrait cards. Landscapes are horizontal and portraits are vertical.

Essential Question #4

Photoshop is more of a photo editing software and Illustrator is more of a graphic design program. I like Illustrator more because I really like abstract things. Photoshop is just too many effects.

Essential Question #3

I really only think it's important to learn Photoshop if you plan on pursuing a career in graphic design. I aspire to be a psychologist and while Photoshop is really fun, it's not essential to my future job. If you do plan on being a graphic designer, Photoshop is really helpful. You can change colors of things, move shapes around, edit images against each other, and generally change up everything on your base image. You can also design your own image, logo, or text. For any career in graphics, Photoshop is essential.

Essential Question #2

I really liked the Face Trace project that we worked on. I don't enjoy playing with effects because I want a lot of effects and very few at the same time and I want it to be gaudy but simple...I don't know. I disliked the effects. So Face Trace was my favorite because all I had to do was zoom with the magnifier tool, make a layer for each facial feature, and trace it. I enjoyed it much more.
