New Brief
LO3/LO1
Well first day back to college and the start of a new brief. This new module is called Digital Skills. Throughout this module, I will attend IT sessions on a Monday and Tuesday in Zone 1.
Where I will be introduced to the industry standard packages learning digital skills for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I will be introduced to the principles of software skills and will be given tasks and exercises to help equip myself with the necessary skills that I will need for industry. I will be given multiple exercises and tasks applying my design and technical skills to generate creative outcomes.
There will be research tasks throughout this module, helping me evaluate, annotate and reflect on my digital skills process and learning. The best way to do this is by screen grabs, I will then put them in an InDesign document and evaluate my development.
