Semester Reflection

I learned alot like how to use illustrator and how to use Layer Masks and Clipping masks

Next semester I would like to do a project that doesn't use pictures from the internet so we can show OUR style and not the internet person's style.

I think learning how to do a "paper craft" style on PhotoShop would be fun (I saw a tutorial on DeviantArt and it was a bunch of fun!)
