* Requirements

* Access to Adobe Photoshop
* Illustrator & InDesign (Or Affinity Designer
* Affinity Photo
* Affinity Publisher as an Alternative). I will be using the Adobe Creative Cloud versions
* but those with older version can still get a lot out of this class. Those wanting to take the course with Affinity products will find some tools and names do differ so Adobe is preferred.
* If you use Adobe products
* I highly suggest using versions CS6 or higher to have a more smooth experience with the course
* but not a requirement.
* Software not Included
