Overlapping Layer Experience



If you were a student newly learning how to use adobe programs and saw this as your next assignment try and tell me you wouldn't say "man, YOU CRAZY!" Because that is exactly what I thought. I know it was probably the most difficult assignment we had to do for this class. After fully paying attention to just Amy doing the demo the first time I felt a little more knowledgeable on the assignment, but to be honest I did not think that I would be able to go off and do it on my own just right after that. Clearly many other students felt the same way, but luckily this was the only assignment that was demoed about 3 or 4 times.

On the second demo I did everything along with Amy as she did it on the screen. She took things a bit slower this time, which made it even easier to follow. While I still got stuck on some things we had enough of a break in-between each step to be able to play around until I got it on my own. Learning how to do this project made it easier for me to maneuver my way around Adobe with more confidence.

Although it seemed as if this exercise was the worst thing ever while it was happening, this exercise was pretty beneficial. Not all of us will go into the computer graphics field but most us will wind up on a computer at this point in society. Society and business especially has been taken over by technology. Our generation knows all about this technology, having the knowledge of knowing all of these Adobe programs is a HUGE benefactor in this day and age. This exercise is a great way to get some background on adobe. Although if you don’t have much experience with Adobe it may be difficult to follow written rules.
