Technical research

After studying the Photoshop tutorial, it has opened my eyes to using it this time round as I used Fireworks last time and came across some barriers such as figuring out how to use it as it wasn't very popular. This made it very long winded but now after understanding the Photoshop tutorial I can use these skills and progress further in another software. I want to use the lighting techniques in the tutorial as I like the effect the blur spots have on an image. I will more than likely be using some of the other techniques they use too, but haven't realised due to not having my images yet. I will also use photoshop for my billboard as I feel it will be the easiest to edit my image and then overlay text onto it giving it the most professional look I can. I looked at previous students methods for creating their websites and the most popular and professional looking website software is 'Wix'. Fromthis, I watched another tutorial on how to produce this and to my surprise it seems much easier than photoshop. This tutorial takes you step by step through the process of making the site and gives really clear instructions on how to produce each page which I would have spent hours doing if not. It also has the wedding theme so gives me inspiration for how I want to lay mine out. I like the way some of the layouts are already and so will make my life much easier when producing the site.
