I know once I learn more about Illustrator some of the effects and graphics will be better. I am only on chapter five of about fifteen. The last few weeks I have been so focused on landing a job my artwork and other creative outlets have fallen to the waste side.<div><br /></div><div>Besides trying to find a job this week I will try to pick up the work with my many projects. One major adventure I will begin embarking on will be the personal shopping for women on the east coast.</div>The Foodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825332438044185492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255967973048488971.post-17846836187335996122010-03-28T16:38:00.000-07:002010-03-28T17:02:52.106-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmjxpGhBGSLJ-y6zV4n30zlRKpNWBGkws1mlXmyoJfb0y85x5o5EV18LbKVI-Ygk1xp6XwoNHjlNcunghxdZ0c5O6dopsBwip-l8ByxaODYYoaXOIxyx8Q74XhK0q4wUmyih-I5AIUg_0/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmjxpGhBGSLJ-y6zV4n30zlRKpNWBGkws1mlXmyoJfb0y85x5o5EV18LbKVI-Ygk1xp6XwoNHjlNcunghxdZ0c5O6dopsBwip-l8ByxaODYYoaXOIxyx8Q74XhK0q4wUmyih-I5AIUg_0/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453833502156599474" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />With the help of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, serif; "><a href="http://www.adobe.com/training/books/classroom.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Adobe Classroom in a Book</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> I have been learning to use Illustrator. Although I am patient, I wish I could wake up and have all the knowledge in my head. It is a very helpful program to know as a designer of... well anything.

I paint, cook, sew and anything else I can physically achieve. My biggest problem is that I do all of these. I can't stay still long enough to finish one thing! This has been a problem of mine since I was a child. When I was home for Christmas I tried to find a picture of myself with my parent holding me. I found one. One photo with myself at about three making this angry little face that I was being held. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I am determined to finish some projects now. </span></div></div>The Foodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825332438044185492noreply@blogger.com0
