Core technologies for design and IT
Throughout the last month and a half that I have been in the design and IT department in Spectrum I have utilized many different technologies. I am the head of Spectrum's twitter end of social media, this means that I am constantly using Twitter for many different things. I use Twitter not only to post, but also to see what other companies are doing and to see what products they will be selling. For the design portion of my job I mostly use Photoshop as my main design tool. I use Photoshop because I am extremely familiar with the technology and because of all the things that you can do with Photoshop. so far I have utilized Photoshop to create a few of our products, I used Photoshop to make a gif for our website, and I have used Photoshop to edit pictures for Spectrum's Tennessee trade show presentation. In the future, I plan to continue using Photoshop to create new products or to edit other images. I am planning on using Twitter to reach out to other companies about potential work opportunities and I also plan on continuing using twitter to promote and sell our products.
The two pictures above are products that I made on Photoshop for our charger prototype. These were made on Photoshop and used in multiple presentations and are on the website.
