Photoshop still on top...

We've now touched on Photoshop, After Effects and now finished Premiere Pro. I still have to say Photoshop by far the most useful and so far the most applicable to the program. I guess i just don't really find editing movies very "fun" for myself but i defiantly have some useful knowledge about editing in Premiere Pro. Now as for After Effects, i might see myself playing with it or using it for small animated things. Either way as far as programs go, still in favor of Photoshop but we'll see as i learn more over this coming year.

I'm a client and i'm reflecting...

As a client for my last project, we had to pair up to make a design of the other persons choice to introduce us to what its like working with an actual client. I found something i really needed to work on was my verbalization, getting my thoughts out on to paper. Trying to explain to my partner what i was wanting out of my design was something that i thought would come allot easier than it did. It also got me thinking i should be a little more prepared next time when i need to come up with an idea and then try and explain to someone. This project helped with the little details of the prep work for being ready to work with a client that i had never actually done in this way. Keeping organized, punctual, and to try and keep the project moving forward at a good rate are just little things but very important.
My designer was nice to work with, i don't think it was her first time taking care of a client. She came in very personable and asking lots of constructive questions relating to my logo to get my creative thoughts flowing when i was having trouble getting my ideas getting my ideas out of my head. I think thats a nice quality in a designer is to be able to help articulate thoughts to make sure the client can be fully satisfied when its all said and done.
