“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day..Show a man a river and you feed him for a lifetime”
In today’s life where new technology has become more readily available, more individuals have sought to excel in subjects outside the mainstream of their conventional education and field. Persons has their life changed just by learning how to use one or two softwares. While some may have been educated in a conventional manner in a particular field, others may choose to educate themselves in unusual fields. fact: to “Show a man how to fish” seems to become outdated. Today we don’t need people to show us how to do things we just need them to show us where to start, all we ask for is directions; How many person doesn’t know which classes to take, what books to read, what path to follow!
Have you ever asked yourself, “What is in my kitchen?”. Are you aware of every software installed on your computer. Last time I heard someone talking about having Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator installed… and didn’t knew that they were for until he sow somebody else displaying his artworks. All he needed was guideness.
Sometimes we feel lost just because we have too many options and we don’t know witch one to choose. sometimes we just need to know if something exist because this is exactly what we need. sometimes we just need to know what is the best sequence of using things that we already know. We just need guideness!
In this blog I’m going to talk many times about what can you do with things, I’m probably going to show you how to fish too, but what matter the most is where can you fish. understand the tools that you have and i’m sure you know what to do with it.
Since this blog will talk a lot about Web design & Web development, I’m going to show you my sequence of designing what i like.
1- Adobe Illustrator ( to build graphic design)
2- Adobe Photoshop ( to add effects)
3- Flash Macromedia (to animate object)
There will be more softwares involved too we will talk about them in other subjects.
Do you like to create thing from scratch, are you good at drawing and scratching on paper? that will help too! If you don’t have a scanner you can get a drawing tablet that will help a lot.
First start drawing your object on paper, using the tablet, or immediately on illustrator. Once you get what you need move it to Photoshop and start adding your effect. Flash Adobe, previously Flash Macromedia, will allow you to put your animation together for a better look and design…
