Whilst studying in University, I learnt how to become proficient using a variety of industry-standard software. Throughout my portfolio, I have utilised different tools and platforms to improve upon my work and my own skill. In this section, I would like to highlight the software I am familiar with and to what extent I am confident in my skill using it. Below is a list of the programmes I have used and a description of how it has been used in both my personal and professional work. My skills and confidence using different software is always growing along with my experience.
With almost 5+ years using Premiere Pro, I have gained a lot of confidence in using this industry standard tool. Premiere Pro is an Adobe software that is great for video editing. It has great features that allow a lot of creative freedom for the user. I have used this throughout my work, most notably in my fashion film from university.
Indesign is great tool for designing documents and posters. I have used this software frequently during my studies at AUP. It has useful features that allow you to perfectly design your reports, essays, posters and other documents to your liking.
Photoshop is a tool I have used both in and out of my studies. It is the industry standard photo editing software that has been utilised in a multitude of industries. All my retouched images have been altered and touched up through photoshop. I am confident in my ability to maximise the use of photoshop in both a personal and professional setting.
Affinity is a newer programme and less recognised than the others in this list. Affinity is a jack of all trades software that has features from Photoshop, Indesign and Adobe Illustrator all in one. I personally love to use Affinity because it is a free alternative to InDesign with many of the features included. Additionally, Affinity is owned by the same company as Canva (another free design tool). This allows for easy transition and links between the two applications.
