So last week we started to work in Premiere and I am already enjoying it a lot. So far I don't know how to do much but over time that will get better. For anyone who doesn't know Adobe Premiere Pro is a video and audio editing software. I think one of the interesting things about this program is that you save a file before you even start working in it. While Premiere is complex I think that without really knowing much I can already make videos and it does not take to long to get used to. As I have not used any video editing software before this, everything is new to me and I think that is why I find it so interesting. Now that we have finally made it out of Illustrator I am already very excited to keep going in this class. If anyone needs any Premiere basics on how to start and editing a video the link will be under the main text.

So as you may know we have been working with Illustrator for about the past month. I think the main problem I am having with it is that it is kind of repetitive and that makes it kind of boring to work in. As for next year I plan on staying in the pathway and I am really looking forward to all the new stuff we are going to do. I think that while there are some dull parts in the things we are working in overall it is really fun to work in and it is very helpful learning so many techniques. I think that right now this is one of my favorite classes because of how we get to design things on our own and how we get some freedom in what we do. I also think that while some people think the grading system is unfair, I think that is pretty easy to get used to.

So there has been a new game that has been really popular lately called Fortnite. Fortnite is yet another battle royale style game where you drop into an arena and try to be the last one standing. I think the biggest difference between this and other battle royale games has to be the build functions which allow you to build your own structures and not have to rely on natural cover. This really adds a new level of skill to the game and I think this is one of the best functions. the graphics in this game are pretty good but as I play on Xbox I do have to deal with some lag from time to time. I think this game has a lot of upsides and I think that they are in a good place because they are slowly adding new things which makes the game more fun. I think there are some minor cons though, for one the lag is really bad for most players and also some of the build functions have a couple glitchs. Over time these should be fixed and after that I think this will be such an amazing game.

We are almost done with Illustrator and I am kind of happy because Illustrator has not been my favorite program to work in. The past two weeks we have been doing more activities involving the pen tool and align tools. These have been okay but they have felt kind of boring because of Illustrator making some things I feel, harder then they need to be. Anyway I feel like Illustrator has been getting easier which is nice as we still have a week to work in it. I have found it easy to use the pen tool which makes it easy to make any line because of how you can curve lines. This is very helpful for making almost anything and I have found it is a great skill to have. Another thing is the align tools which allow you to line up objects perfectly in one direction and it makes the overall picture better. Overall while Illustrator is getting boring for me I know that it is a useful skill that I will need if I decide to pursue a career in this industry.
