My Advertising course has a module dedicated to graphic design and visual communication. For an advertiser this seemed a little daunting, were not really the finishing touches people, were more the scribble down some ideas and brainstorm till you have no vocabulary left, kind of people. Yet I really enjoyed the module, being creative and making things look pretty is kind of my bag, so I enjoyed getting to know the software and having a 'play' albeit a strictly marked play on the software! 

The first software I used was Illustrator and I found this incredibly hard, its such a good software but when you have a day to learn it, its intense we had to draw a cow, a train and a lion. unfortunately mine were not that great. I've gain basic knowledge of how to use this and with time and a bit patience Im sure I will master this software.

One programme I have fell in love with is Indesign, I was tasked to create a two page spread about the font Stencil. I really enjoyed this task as creating appealing layouts is something that I like doing and have continued to improve at.
