Giving Credit Where Credit is Due
Philip Mudd has been a huge asset to my learning this semester, in both the worlds of CSS and Rhetoric. I didn't know the guy before this class, but I quickly warmed up to him—most of class, if not all, would probably say the same thing. He knows his CSS really well, and there were plenty of times that he went out of his way to help me understand it. I owe a lot of my CSS knowledge to him. He also exemplified great rhetoric as he talked in class. For example, he owned the "Funny Bone" pitch. His use of pathos and ethos to persuade the class to vote for the word was brilliant. In short, Mudd is a bright guy, and he is definitely going to do some cool things in the future.
A Text I Might Pick Up
I pretty much enjoyed every part of this class. Dreamweaver and Photoshop were enjoyable and intriguing; Comiclife was not my favorite, to say the least. With that said, as I look back on what I picked up on the quickest, I would say it was Photoshop. Who doesn't like taking a normal old picture and turning it into something cool? Maybe not everyone, but I definitely do. I found a book written by the renown photographer Jim Zuckerman titled "Be a Photoshop Guru - Unlocking the Hidden Genius Behind Photoshop's Tools", and I think I would like to pick it up and learn more about the possibilities with Photoshop. I only scratched the surface in the few weeks we tackled Photoshop—this book would take me far beyond what I currently know.
