Semester Reflection

Over the last semester in Introduction to Graphic Design, I have learned a lot of things that will help me with my photography. I have also learned a lot about tools that can do multiple different things and it is very interesting how you can manipulate images to make them better, or alter them completely.
Next semester I would like to use Adobe Photoshop more extensively and learn how to remove blemishes, replace colors, and alter photographs efficiently. I would also like to get better at making deadlines.
