Adventures in Graphic Arts
A few years ago, I was unable to sign up for the programming class that I wanted, so opted to take a flash class instead. Other than the fact that flash basically sucks, the class was ok. More importantly, it would seem, I was induced for some reason, to spring for the Adobe Design Premium Suite. I got a sweet student discount on it, so figured it might do me some good one of these days.
One component of the suite was PhotoShop. Recently, I decided to take a PhotoShop class so I could learn to use some of these expensive, resource-hog applications that Adobe has foisted on the world. Here, you’ll find my PS endeavors. Perhaps some day, I’ll tell you what I think, and perhaps even, post some other stuff. We’ll see.
I should probably mention that setting up this site was a requirement of that class. I’m pretty sure the teacher never bothered checking out our sites. I know the young woman sitting next to me never posted anything, and I never received any feedback. Both the class and the professor were the worst I ever experienced in something like 15 years of on again/off again continuing ed courses at UMass/Lowell and Middlesex Community College. I believe this particularly inept professor was the only one I ever had who was a full-timer rather than an adjunct. Adjuncts, in Massachusetts anyway, are paid and esteemed similarly to school crossing guards. I know, I was one for a short time. All rather sad, really.
Yikes! Trying to style the font size to something readable with this theme is an adventure. With luck, I’ve figured it out.
Oh goody! Even though I don’t use this account (although I might add a “music” page with some stupid songs I wrote), and no one bothers to check it out. I have now been followed by a spammer. How lucky can a guy get?
