Adobe is life

After watching the video on photographer Uli Staiger, I learned a lot about how he utilizes Photoshop with his photography. The fact that he acknowledged the use of Photoshop bringing him to where he wants to be with his art is pretty cool. I would love to learn Photoshop in the way that he uses it. I use mostly Adobe Illustrator in order to get my ideas in place, but there are other applications I use as well. I am recently designing some pieces that involve old school electronic devices, such as beepers, old cell phones and old school computers. It is going to be a series, which I haven’t decided what to call yet, but it will be featured on my website I am still working on. I start with a sketch and then bring it into Illustrator and put it into a vector. I work with mostly lines and few color, but it all comes together. I now am learning this new application from Adobe Cloud call Muse. It is almost like DreamWeaver but without the coding. It also has a lot of new feature and it is really easy to work with. I don’t like coding much, so this is perfect for me. I also use InDesign. One day, I would like to take a collection of my work, and put it into a book, or a local magazine and discuss art and life problems. InDesign is the perfect app because it has similar tools to Photoshop and Illustrator, minus the publishing aspect of course. I also use illustrator to make my tshirt designs, which I will be starting a business for. So all of Adobe’s apps pretty much mean the world to me because it is my livelihood. It has helped reach my creative goals since I discovered Adobe when I was 13.
