multimedia class 14 sep 09

Still tryin to get used to this Mac thing and it's making me feel computer illiterate.

Anyway stuff I learned today in illustrator:
- How to add anchor points.
- Using live trace.
- Copying and pasting a design.
- Resizing designs by holding shift.
- Combining designs.

Gestalt principles I need to explore more.

Designing challenges:
Getting inspiration can be a challenge, especially when I'm assigned to combine two things which are unrelated.
I think the process to get around this is to have a plan, try to visualize what I want to do then start it. Changes and adjustments will then be made after I see how the image looks.
