A complete contrast! This week has been made up of two completely different days; Wednesday was a complete bore personally, consisting of Researching, Writing, Researching and again writing. We were doing our A3 Back to Basic website content and god how the day dragged from start to finish, but it had to be done. But although it was dull and boring it was quite relieving. Knowing that, the dull side of the assignment was pretty much out of the way and it only lasted a day! Also it was a good feeling to see that I’d completed a lot of work in that day but I think that in future it would be better to get this kind of work done, the boring, but important work out of the way earlier or possibly do it in sections i.e. Not a full day of it, as it really makes an already long day and even longer day.
Comparing that to Thursday, Whoa what a contrast, my first experience of Photoshop (one plus), new skills learnt in Photoshop (two pluses) and a sense of great achievement as what I created to me personally in my baby designer eyes is non short or brilliant. What we did was, we were given an Image of three old men, a Battered old image, and our task was to turn this, "Crispy" old image into a nice new "Shiny", "Glossy" photograph. I thought when the task was to me, it would completely and utterly lose me, and my lack off skills and knowledge would show through but I believe I’ve done really well and I’m really proud. At the moment it’s still lacking the colour that a few people were adding but I can only take it one step at a time so that’s still to come. (Feel free to leave feedback on the image when it's up on here, it's much appreciated)
After my day with Photoshop I think that I ought to purchase my own copy as it would be really handy, and also I would not mind having my own copy to play around on, it’s really grabbed my attention with what you are capable of doing when using it, and as they say “Practise makes Perfect”. Jamie
Note to self: Self study (note it down) as proof how much self study I have undertaken and what I have achieved in that space of time. Also complete A2 Referrals!

Looks like you have done a grand job after reading the blogs they say that the photo was practically ruined. However nobody can see what a great job you have done if they can't see the original damged photograph.
Stick it above your completed one to show off your work before and after. It's this type of thing that prospective employers will be looking for.
Plus being a Photoshop lover I'm eager to see it myself.
Thorough spell check needed as of 05/12/06.
