Blog Assignment #1

Computer experience:

A new Mac user. Experienced on using Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and InDesign.  I had the opportunity to use Photoshop in my photography classes, and I use Photoshop daily to edit color balance and contrast of my digital photos. I used Dreamweaver to create a web-portfolio for my University Studies class. I took ART 200 in winter'09 and I started to experience InDesign.  

What are you excited about?

I am looking forward to expand my knowledge on using Photoshop and learn how to use Illustrator. Meanwhile, I want to know more about design, hopefully, after this term I will have a good idea on design and with the software. 

Favorite books and magazines:

I don't have favorite English books and magazines. I do read some Marvel comics. 

Favorite websites:

Wikipedia and Flickr. Wikipedia contains multiple sources for research, it has multiple versions in different languages which will be a benefit for people who speak foreign languages. Flickr is a website that we could view other people art works and images. This gives chances for people to hold discussions and to receive comments and suggestion.
