What did I learn? Developed my skills on Illustrator Learned the basics of InDesign Learned that I can use Illustrator/ InDesign for everyday things such as posters, projects, cards, gifts, and even my resume! Learned that I need to be VERY specific when ordering something from a printing company Discovered that I would enjoy graphic design as a backup career idea.
Thank You!
