The first class made me quite interested to see what we will be doing in the future of this course. I know a little about Photoshop already but I can always use more knowledge, especially with some of the issues I ran into when I did use it. I am also excited about inDesign and Illustrator as I have very limited knowledge on vector based programs and would like to expand that.
Although we only barely touched upon it, what I did see of HTML interests me very much. I used to take a Java course back in high school but it never went very in-depth on what it could be used for. While programming was not something I initially thought about learning a little knowledge on the subject could always come in handy.
I enjoy to use digital design programs and have learned 3D animation in Maya through several courses and have self taught myself how to decently use Adobe Flash and Source Filmmaker. To better use 2D imaging programs on the computer I have purchased a Wacom Bamboo tablet the other year. It is not the best tablet but it gets the job done. Maybe through this course I can learn to better use it.
Through this course I hope to get a better knowledge of these Adobe products as well as some programming skills I would not know otherwise. I hope we spend a good amount of time with HTML and Illustrator and maybe if we have the time I could learn a few new tricks with Flash and possibly After Effects. I am also incredibly excited about rotoscopng as I have never actually done it before and it is a technique almost every animator seems to use.
After a semester abroad in London I am ready to get back to serious work with digital arts to prepare myself for wherever life winds up taking me.
