anything new! I want to learn it all. I want to learn how to be more artistic with my layouts and create art that has function, not ones that decorate. I am hoping to learn about new tools in illustrator and photoshop that will make graphics look very appealing and new way to represent certain information in a visual format. Layout techniques. I am especially interested in finding more ways to incorporate both editorial and non-editorial art into the paper. Our program does a great job with graphics and photos, but we also have a lot of talented artists that I feel we could utilize SO much more in the paper. So I really would like to discover all of the possible ways to place art into our layouts outside of just augmenting graphics. I wanted to learn about editorial cartooning (because I know nothing about that) and incorporating illustration in your publication. I also think magazine design would be useful to know in general.

i have a photoshop program and i know how to use it fairly well; however i find it hard to sketch with a mouse. Not comfy at all. "I've use both programs for 3 years. I own a mac. " Very comfortable with photoshop and illustrator however I do most of my graphics on a windows computer therefore I am not so comfortable with Macs. I am comfortable with photoshop. I'm extremely comfortable with photoshop and use it quite frequently, a little less so with illustrator, but I still know my general way around the program. I have not really used a Mac as both my laptop and our lab computers are PCs. Well, I have Adobe Photoshop and illustrator, and I know the basics but nothing further than that. I know how to turn those computers on, and usually I just press a bunch of buttons and it works for me.
focus on basic tools and how to apply them
some comfort level with the applications
i have taken several art classes involving 2d draw/paint I have no experience. I create infographics for my publication I have had one year of experience creating graphics by using illustrator, photoshop, and indesign for my school publication. Very little. We did a few things in class. I've had a tablet for the past three years and use it mostly for small self-motivated projects. This past year I had the opportunity to both draw elements for a cover and draw an entire cover itself for the paper. We have also included several illustrations and editorial art throughout our paper and graphics I bought a drawing tablet, but I don't really know how to use it. Right now, it's a $90 paperweight, but this class gives me hope otherwise. I've only ever worked with traditional art mediums - graphite, charcoal, etc.
focus on using tablets and building custom brushes
basic drawing experience, but not a ton of digital.
