Apparently not many people want to learn how to take commercial photos of things. I can see why. Trying to learn about it yourself is impossible because a) there don’t seem to be any decent books written on the subject and b) most photography books are extremely boring, somewhat akin to reading a product manual to combat insomnia.
Meanwhile my poor Rebel sits there collecting dust…
I guess this shouldn’t really read as just “learn illustrator”—more like how to use illustrator properly. I’ve been using it my own self-taught way for over five years now and it’s so freaking frustrating. Those Adobe ninjas out there must know something that I don’t because everytime I wait those five excruciating minutes for Adobe software to start up, I start gritting my teeth and I swear my blood pressure skyrockets. I managed to sign up for some online tutorials but I have yet to crack it open…Ahh, procrastination.
