I think the text and color tools will actually be very easy. The drawing tools do look tricky though and I think I will have more trouble using that with my cursor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g24oB-68YGw      I actually used to use illustrator on my iPad years ago to draw cartoons. Some of the tools used in this video brought back memories and I think I can get the hang of trimming out a photo. I used to work with different layers all the time when drawing cartoons on Illustrator in middle school.      I like how the man in this tutorial zoomed in on what he was doing and walked us through by pausing and speaking about what he was doing. He used a lot of information to help with any questions we can need while doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxywVI_PuQo      This YouTube video

     Let's get straight to the point, I almost ripped my hair out doing this image on Dreamweaver. I know it does not look like much but I spent about 8 hours on it. My computer became a little slow, so I had to keep redoing my project, which drove me crazy. I would also have to come back the next day because the laptop would freeze up and not let me finish.      I have definitely learned a lot from using Dreamweaver in this project. The examples, and other student's projects helped me figure out mine as well. I took different ideas from other examples and made the project my own. I even added the gradient in the water to show the light from the sun shining off of it. I kind of got my inspiration from going to the beach to see the beautiful sunset and pink take over the sky. Overall, I am very proud of the outcome and that I did not get a concussion from banging my head against the wall. I think it looks exactly how I imagined it would look. ////////////////////////////////////
