It’s a great feeling, well, not at first. When you start working with a software that you haven’t touched (and since Desigo is a proprietary software owned by Siemens I had NO chance to use it ) for two years,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yes, I’ve been working with Photoshop and Illustrator for over three decades. Now, I’ll never know EVERYTHING there is to know about those software systems, but I’ve worked with them enough, creating package designs, logos, greeting cards, party units, catalogs,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
