Recreation

The recreation of this editors page was a little bit of a struggle for me. At times, I couldn't really figure out how to do some of the things that had to be used for the page. The picture of all the editors was the hardest, though, for me because I couldn't get it the picture to be the right size and fit the box. The picture keep cutting people off or showing more of the picture than was needed. Using the pen tool was actually okay for me, because I tried making the shape, it worked out great. Though I deleted it by accident and couldn't get it like that again, the pen tool was easy to use and I enjoyed using it. Placing where the white shapes went was hard to place also and I couldn't really figure out how to get rid of the white below the green part where they go. I still can't really figure this out. Getting the text in there was good for me also because it didn't take too long to do and it was easy. Overall, this experience was a positive one that was fun, but it took a very long time and was challenging to find out at some time.

Design(:

For me, I have had a little bit of design before. Usually when I make a card for someone, I like to make it handmade because to me, that means more to a person. I usually make birthday cards for someone and sometimes on the computer; I have to design it with this program that I have at home. You get to pick what style of card you would like and then you have to go and decide what the card is going to look like. I remember one that I did for my best friend, and I make a card that had a ton of colors, and had alot of pictures. The hardest thing with that was figuring out how to make it really nice though, and by the time I finished it was. This is really what my design experience has been, though I have done some more with scrap-booking and designing some posters for my old school. For scrap-booking, every time that I go to a concert, I make a scrap-book of the night there and have to design it the way I like it.
