I am very good at using digital editing and using digital photography to help me in my design work which would be a big attribute towards designing magazine covers. I have worked on macromedia before so have a basic knowledge of using it.

I am also good at working in a group as well as working independently but can work 3x more efficiently in a group, this is because I am very sociable and can get ideas out of other colleagues to make a whole better and bigger design/idea.
