Video 1 - Learn Adobe InDesign in 11 MINUTES! | 2023 Beginner Basicswww.youtube.com › watch

The easiest tool for me to use based on this first video will be the "fit frame" tool variations. I have already used this tool multiple times and it has been extremely helpful and so far the most used. The hardest thing for me to use will be remembering what the dimensions will be  when beginning a project. Each project has a different dimensions, so remembering the specific heights/weight, bleeds and other things will be difficult. I will be using the fitting tools the most, as there seems to be issues with cropping and scaling images moves the entirety of the page and the image. It moves everything and messes everything up. I really liked this video and it was extremely helpful as everything was extremely clear and all of the projects/instructions were given with visual examples. 


Video 2 - Get Started with 10 Beginner Tips for InDesign - YouTubewww.youtube.com › watch

The easiest tool for me to use based on this second video, will be scaling images, as it is similar to the two previous platforms, by placing file and then place. That will be easy to remember, as that is how it is set up for photoshop as well! Personally, I think it will be difficult to draw and place drop shadows and other effects on a project. Similar to that of Photoshop, the speaker of this video assures that it may take some getting used to, so I think this tool will be difficult for me to use throughout our time using InDesign. This video screen had a different set up from my personal laptop, so it was interesting and somewhat difficult to try to follow his instructions because I did not have the same set up. 


Video 3 - Learn Adobe InDesign in 9 MINUTES! | 2020 Beginner Basicswww.youtube.com › watch

which tool will be easy - The easiest tool for me to use based on this last video will be the fitting tool, as each tool in framing and fitting is explained with visual examples with various types of photos. I like how this speaker used terms like "press these buttons for Mac users". Typically, I have been struggling with these assignments, as my schedule typically does not allow for me to use a windows or non Mac. When doing my work on the Mac, it is difficult to find shortcuts that are the same as these tutorials, but this video in particular gives details and shortcuts for multiple users.

Blog #4 - Letter to Future Self

Dear Future Self,  Wow, where to even begin. I honestly struggled to write this out. You won't remember but there is so much chaos going on in life right now. Between family, soccer shots, photography, money, getting caught up on school, social life, boyfriend, and friends, I don’t know where to start with this letter. On a positive note, in 2 days you have a facetime interview with the Talent Acquisition Manager with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a possible internship opportunity (thank you cousin Rick). I am currently sitting here trying to type this letter while waiting for the Career Services lady to call my name for my meeting with someone who works in the professional sports world.  Life is moving so insanely fast right now, with three million things happening at once, and everyone telling you their opinions and how you should be doing certain things. I guess that is just life? What do you think now after living through it? You probably won't even remember how stressed yo...

Photoshop Animation Tutorial: Frame by Frame Character Walkwww.youtube.com › watch The move tool with auto select will be the best to use when drawing across animations, as we can see originally what was there and still be able to proceed with what needs to be drawn.  Motion has to have a change in imagery according to this video, so I think it will be difficult to remember how to click/drag contact groups in order to duplicate across layers. I watched this portion of the video more than once, as hearing/watching ...
