Learning Significance

  1. Through these various projects, I was able to gain insight and familiarity with Adobe Illustrator and Canva. I learned the value of the different file types (e.g., jpegs, pngs, ai, pdfs, etc.) and how it's important to know which one is appropriate for the project one wishes to complete.
