Semester Reflection

   This semester in Graphics Design class i have learned man things. Some of the fun things that i did was using adobe programs like photoshop and illustrator. Within some of the programs i've learned different tools to use and how to fix or create new artworks.
 
   More things i learned was internet programming relating to elements like color usage, pixelation, resolution and other things.

   Some things that i would like to learn to use would be using adobe animations.

Review Week 17

   I have learned that serifs were created as a curve (but not on all kinds of fonts) at the end of strokes on letters. Some other serif fonts like abrupt stops as a squarish shape at the end.
