What did I like about the course?
     I liked how each assignment was different and something new to learn and that we didn't do the same stuff the entire course. I liked that the instructions were on the blog so that if I wasn't sure about something I could just check there and that usually helped.

What could be improved?
     If everyone's photoshop was updated to the same version than things would be easier for certain assignments, like the cube assignment that we just did.

My favourite assignment was the 3D Cubes. They were a little confusing when it came to making the 3D video but I really liked doing it.
