Photoshop experience (first time)

The interesting thing about these pics are that:
The pic of the bird was initially just a black and white pic that I added color to
The pics of me were actually images of my face on a scanner that I later augmented through the application of (Photoshop) adding a variety of colors to my hair, face, etc...even the blush and lipstick were photoshop illusions

My perception of this Graphic Design course

Though I was not able to attend the first in-class meeting for this Graphic design course, already I am excited about what it has to offer. My perception of the class even prior to doing any coursework is quite positive. I believe this class is going be very interesting; allowing for me the opportunity to learn a lot more about graphic designing, utilizing tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and other programs that I have always found difficult to understand. In comparsion to my other Marketing classes, I am certain this class is going involve more practical work, which will in turn complement all the theory I have been previously taught. I look forward to exploring my creative side, learning from others, gaining experience in design software application, and ultimately being able to apply all this knowledge in the real world, developing certain brand elements including the logo, packaging, etc of companies I anticipate working with in the nearby future.
