This class will become challenging very fast if you've never worked with Photoshop, Illustrator, or Premier. I have learned a lot taking this class, but the workload is rather heavy. I did learn a lot from this professor because of the critiques. I will say the critiques are harsh, but they only make us better artists. The projects get progressively more difficult throughout the course but they are fun to do. I suggest taking this course during a more chill semester for you.

Class spent mostly going through tutorials (very slowly) of Adobe software basics. It feels very boring at times, but I did enjoy some of the content. However, he is not very clear with expectations at times and never responds to emails (quite literally never but will blame you for not using terpmail or ELMS even if that's not the case). Also quite passive aggressive, but the class is a necessary course for many upper level reqs. Main point: could be better could be worse.

Great, chill professor. Always open to answering questions and to help you when you need it. As far as the class itself, it is a very heavy workload, and expect to spend a lot of time on the projects. It was definitely challenging at times, even though I have a pretty good background in Adobe and digital but he will help you when you need it. I definitely learned a lot this semester.

He is very, I mean VERY chill. Knowledgeable about all the software we cover and always has good suggestions during the critiques. His voice put me to sleep at times, but other than that he is a good professor and a nice guy.
