EDITING WORK
Video
Something I'm really passionate about is Photo and Video Editing. One of my first jobs was working as a Photo Lab Technician and I fell in love with digital media.
I started a YouTube channel to continue to share travel memories with my family and to practice my video editing skills, first with iMovie and now learning Adobe Premiere Pro. I am so inspired by the freedom of this medium and aspire to further hone my skills over the next year.
Photo
With photo editing, I find that my eye for detail serves me in the retouching category. I love looking at a photo that I've taken and pointing out any distractions in the background, imperfections in colour or lighting, and seeing what I can do to make that image more enticing.
I've been using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom for a decade and am still learning new ways to use these tools every day. I love to use photos to make collages and mood boards to convey ideas for new projects and to capture the feeling of whatever it is that I'm creating.
Layout
A new passion stemmed from a school assignment to create a digital magazine with a small group. Using my previous knowledge of a few key players of the Adobe Suite, I branched into InDesign, where I fell in love with the ability to lay out the pages in a more intuitive way than one would with Photoshop.
Using this program to lay out not only creative projects like this but professional writing, resumes, etc. has become another form of editing that I'm working on.
To speak to this project specifically - I took on the task of editing the magazine, taking writing and photo contributions from all team members to blend them cohesively. Using Photoshop, I created the Magazine Cover and all of the ads that required more layering and editing, then used InDesign to put all of the content together after using other programs to edit all of the copy.
