Mac Attack

I remember my first lesson learning how to use the Mac computers last year I was terrified. I am so used to using PCs and to say I am not a very technical person is an understatement. However it didn't take me long to realize the ways in which getting to grips with illustrator and Photoshop could benefit my design work and my portfolio. When I was on a one month placement at New Look last year I asked the assistant designer if she had any advice for me for my studies and she said I should get as much CAD work in my portfolio as possible. Since that first lesson I have learnt a few basic tricks and have started to enjoy using Illustrator in particular. The only problem I had is that I would learn stuff and then by the time I had another session on Illustrators I would have forgotten alot of what I had learnt. So when my friend offered to sell me his Mac Powerbook laptop for a good price I jumped the chance. Now I will be able to practice the skill I have learnt in the sessions with Jamie at home.
