Although I have enjoyed nearly all of my college courses, there are a handful that changed my life significantly. Visual Media was one of those courses.
Visual Media introduced me to basic design principles, through pracitical application.
The course taught the basics of the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I have, since then, used these programs on a near daily bases and have discovered even more how powerful they can be.
