A Journey on Photoshop Adventure !

Photoshop Adobe is undeniable one of the most useful and well-known in Design field or sometimes even called as "a constellation of social evils" when it could be used in so many different ways for different purpose (Caitlin Dewey, 2015)

Yet, to me it was the first design tool that brought me to a whole new world of design

(or a devil that helped me flex on my friends when I was in high-school).

Even though Adobe has many software and they are all extremely amazing, however, at this moment, I have only accessed to Photoshop since it provides most of what I need for now if not all. Start from the bottom, Photoshop is simply a software that allow you to apply changes into any photo you want, or even create a stunning work of art on your own by having a massive range of tools like "crop & slice", "painting", "retouching", "navigation" tools, and many more for you to choose and play with.

Nevertheless, this massive range of choices did give me a headache at first.... probably to everyone who have never thought about using Photoshop or any Design tool for once. All the icons, words, function that are so alien to you and all you want to make were probably making a meme to joke with your friend, but that was only at the beginning when you looked into those bunch of tools (icons and words) cause after a while, you will possibly feel blessed as it has all the "toys" you need to play around, for example, creating memes, editing a memoriable photo you like, making a poster, postcard,.... And yes, not just the software function, it could also be an essential skill to an client or in your resumé (or more simple, it help me in getting girls too). However, if you are uninterested in learning something new for a while, or you are a streamer, a video editor than you may want to look elsewhere because Photoshop's design can only hope to be useful to a large groups of users not to everyone as every single solution will meet some people's needs while failing to meet others (Amy J.Ko) -unless you have adobe creative cloud or rich.

P/S:

Here are some of my first embarrassments I made (that I just want to share).

And here are some of my recent works in Design at University of Auckland.
