As the semester comes to an end so does FMX 210. This semester we used four different Adobe Platforms: Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. Within all these programs we were given the creative liberty to design anything within the bounds of the project. To wrap up this class I created a Final Portfolio encompassing the work I am the proudest of.

This class has been so much fun, and I hope I am able to work with these Adobe projects again in the future!

Overall the basic layout when it comes to text is very similar to what we have previously worked with in Photoshop and Illustrator. The tools on the left side of the screen also are very similar to the previous programs we have used as well. The video provided the basics on how to embed text within the page.
