software (Adobe CS6 Photoshop). Before my advanced
portfolio, I have never used this software before so tackling
this task at first was quite difficult as I had a very basic and
beginners knowledge of this programme. However, I thought
this software allowed me to be creative by letting me use
lots of effects to create both products. The software in my
opinion is very professional, which helped me into making
the most professional product I could with my ability and

better knowledge of the programme and also gaining
slightly better knowledge into creating more
professional effects.
