Blog Entry

In your class blog, write a brief introduction for yourself as a designer. Explain what you've done and what you already know. Be sure to answer the following questions.

1. What have you already done as a designer? (Nothing is a possible answer too.) What programs have you used? Describe one or two projects that you have worked on.
2. What have you done with Adobe Photoshop? (Again, nothing is a possible answer.) Describe one or two projects that you have worked on, what features of Photoshop you're most comfortable with.
3. What other design software have you used? (iMovie, Flash, etc.) Explain how comfortable you are with those programs.

Please be sure to title your post with the date of this assignment ("2011-09-07").
