Photoshop:

Basic skills: feather + quick selction tool, cropping --> Prelim Task

Refined these skills, to edit images --> Music Magazine

Indesign:

gradient background, text, placing image, shape of image --> Music Magazine

Pros and Cons:

Indesign - placing images = high quality

Photoshop - can actually edit images (can't in Indesign)

Indesign  - can't go over boarders, otherwise you'll lose some (not enough space)

Photoshop - layers are too complicated

Photoshop:

more accurate with skills (text...), effects such as; opacitiy + colour change

Premier Pro:

rapid cuts in time with the beat, after effects (glitch, 3D, opacity...)

Pros and Cons:

Photoshop - able to do more, as I had more of an understanding

Premier Pro - self explanatory

Photoshop - layers easier to understand, but still confusing

Premier Pro - 'fiddly' and time consuming
