  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • One key part of my job role is to cover a range of duties around the creation of sell-sheets, digital pack shots, Online banners, print ads, Digital and Social media assets. In order to achieve this, I’ve used a range of art working tools when creating promotional content. These are made using creative cloud software such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. All in which I had a basic understanding of, however I was not so fluid in the ways of applying this to tasks, and so with thorough training provided by Warner I gained the extra knowledge required to handle tasks I was being given on a daily basis. This has helped me both professionally and as something I like to utilise in my free time.
