Over the course of this year I have been learning about many components of digital design, animation, careers that deal with these skills, and the software and hardware that is needed. During this time I have learned the basics of many valuable skills that I can use in the future like creating 2D graphics in both Photoshop and Illustrator, how to make animations in Animate and After Effects, and how to make 3D graphics and then animate them. These skills could be helpful in the future because I know people that work in different jobs that use these different programs. For example, there are people who work on medical research that use Photoshop and Illustrator to show their findings by taking the images they took and adding text to explain what is showed. Another example is that architects could use 3D modeling software to better visualize what the building they are designing would look like. Another reason these skills could be useful in the future is because currently there is a large increase in the use of computers and digital design and this is predicted to continue because of new technologies that are being developed building better, faster and more powerful computers. With the rise of use of computers there will be a wider variety of careers in the future that will require certain skills that i have already learned during this course. This course could also help me get a "headstart" on other people who could apply for the same jobs. The most rewarding experiences I had in this class are in my opinion related to 2D graphics. This is because 2D graphics are used more frequently than animation and 3D modeling are in other careers. Another rewarding experience I had was typing because I used to be a slow typer but after taking this course I have sped up a lot and I can now type much faster. Overall this year I learned many things throughout this course and even though on some occasions some things could be frustrating I had fun overall.
