I acquired my first copy of Adobe Photoshop (6!) In high school from my graphic design teacher, and have used it every since. I’ve upgraded to CS2, and the newer versions are unfamiliar to me, but only in layout. My former workplace has a brand new copy, and I used it recently to touch up something of mine. So, so different.
But really, graphic design is easy to learn as long as you have a good eye. That’s more natural talent than anything else.
I need an education to do what I want to do (nursing —> physician assistant), but I have no money left, and I need to get out of IL first.
You know MOST community colleges have 2 year nursing degrees AND community colleges are very inexpensive!!
