Current interests

 

I mainly use Photoshop as a program for designing but I am also very comfortable with using  Adobe Illustrator this program is more orientated towards graphic design becuase of the vector based design program. When I started to use Photoshop to create random things using tutorials, this was the method I used to learn the key features of Photoshop for example all of the tools. Photoshop was my bridge in to the design industry. I then went on to learn 3D Design using sketch up and Sculptris I used these programs because they were free but i am now a lot more interested in 3D Design. This led me to do work experience in a 3D printing and Designing store. sketch up. I am also looking to get in to ZBrush which is an upgraded version of Sculptris. I also liked to do graffiti style drawings on paper and have a large portfolio of my drawings. I prefer to draw using basic shapes on Photoshop because I’m not very confident using a mouse but I haven’t ever tried using a drawing tablet. I will probably try using a drawing table to do the 3D design. As I feel like a mouse isn't accurate enough to do the intricate designs I have created a lot of graphic design pictures on Photoshop and i feel I am getting better at choosing colours that go together and what shapes to use. When I first started using Photoshop I would create text effects or effects for background imaged for example a sound wave or creating space using just tools on Photoshop. Watching these different tutorials allowed me to become more comfortable using the more complicated tools on Photoshop which allowed me to create things unsung these tools without having to watch a tutorial. I often upload my creations to Instagram to see what people think of them and I have had a lot of positivity on my pictures.

 

Work Experience

 

While I was at the work experience I learnt how to use solid works which is a more professional 3D Design software which you have to pay for because it has a lot more in-depth features compared to

 

Another piece of work experience I did was working from a live brief creating an animated advert for the companies online website.
