IT - learning the basic things in Adobe programs 

Today we were introduced to Adobe Photoshop CS6, InDesign and illustrator. It was quite fun and we made a lot of different things. 

Firstly we had to find a picture of ourselves, and then we had to find a place where we would like to be in about 10 years. I chose a picture of an apartment i New York, with a lovely view. 

After finding the pictures, we were asked to combining the to pictures. So I place the picture of myself   into the one with the apartment.

I have worked in Photoshop before, so it was not that difficult to make, but I generally think that Photoshop is quite fun to work with. 

After making the Photoshop picture, we went straight ahead to Illustrator, where we had to make our own logo. It was a bit difficult in the beginning, but as you got more familiar with the program, it was actually quite easy to deal with. I made some different logos, as you can see on the pictures above. 

When we had finished the logo, we got introduced to InDesign. In InDesign we were asked to use our Photoshop picture and our logo. We now had to place our logo into the Photoshop picture and then write about 250 words about the meaning with our picture. Unfortunately I have lost this image.

I am looking forward to get the Adobe Master Collection, so I can work with it on my own laptop.

I think that I succeeded in making the Photoshop picture, but I think that I could have done my logos even better, if I just had some more time to deal with, because then I could have worked on the small details.
