Class was good.  I have to say I was happy to be done with the text formatting project.  I really did not enjoy it.  We started the next project which is Expressive Words.  It was overwhelming to do.  I kept looking around the class and everyone was working away what seemed to be very easily on it.  I had a very hard time.  I know very little about Illustrator.  She had us switch with someone in class and I felt really bad for Mel (who I got her project).  I didn’t know anywhere near what she did so even though I had ideas I was unable to do any of the things.  I have hardly had time to play with it over the years.  It looks like it is an amazing program, but I will need time to learn it.  I worked on it today, but spent a lot of time searching how to do thing and where to find things that I know where there.  Our  professor showed us how to do things, but it was so overwhelming that by the time I had time to work today I couldn’t remember where to find things.  I then spent time watching videos to remember how to do the things.  I still don’t know how to do some of the things that I know it can do.  Hopefully, in class tomorrow I will be able to learn more so that I am more comfortable with illustrator and then have time to learn more about it this weekend.
