Learn-ding

With every new project I learn something. Every time I have a vision of how a project should turn out I keep trying different tactics until the desired result is achieved. Having to try a bunch of different things is frustrating but also very rewarding when you have a breakthrough moment. Last night when I was working on something I figured out a couple of things that are probably obvious to millions of other people. Namely:

  1. Blending two layers using a layer mask in Photoshop
  2. The utility of saving swatches of color and storing them with the base files

The strategies you learn get added to your mental arsenal like wads of gum. You won’t need to learn the same things twice. Websites like CreativeBits are a big help. My next goal is to master Adobe Illustrator.
