Another photo from the photoshoot |
Honestly, this program has gone past way too fast. Three weeks has passed by so quickly; soon, Friday and the exhibition will be here, and I will be leaving the next day.
Paul told us that this morning was our last drawing class of the program. For the rest of the week, we're going to be working digitally to create our magazines. I'm really sad about that. I really enjoyed drawing class. Not only do I feel like I learned a lot, but I just really like to draw and paint. Despite my rocky relationship with gouache, I am a lot more adept with it right now than I was three weeks ago.
In the afternoon, we met Frank in the computer lab, where his partner, Raphael, taught us how to use InDesign. Adobe InDesign is like Microsoft Publisher on crack. We uploaded the photos from the photoshoot and began learning the basics.
There are so many functions, buttons, and adjustment dials. Listening to all the directions made my head spin - much less trying to execute them. My inproficiency with Macs and Adobe programs in general (including photoshop) worries me, because we have so little time to format, proof, and print our publications. I think tomorrow we're going to be working on retouching photos. Hopefully, I'll be a little better at that.
