Skills Update E - Graphic Skills

I have some beginning experience with graphic skills as I have learned a little about Photoshop and InDesign in my previous job.  I am not proficient however and can always improve my skills in this area.  Today, I have spent the afternoon working on a poster advertisement for a family owned business in VA.  I thought I would create something they could use to advertise their music classes.  I made the background to look like their puppet stage and then added little icons of their puppets.  I learned how to group and ungroup layers and made the name and puppet as one layer so that when I move it, they move together.  I like that feature and did not know about that before!  Also, today I learned how to wrap the text around the picture which I did with the names, "Gigi" and "Wolfgang".  I also added the shapes with text inside, and then placed the logo and name together.  Overall, I'm pleased with how this project turned out and hope they can use it in their program, and I touched on the few skills I needed to learn in my boot camp assignment.

I'll attach my final poster once I get it finished up - need to add a few details.
