Welcome to my blog, the journey of following a dream, writing and illustrating a childrens book from thought to reality... mjc@mjcallaghan.com

So I’m confident in saying my skills in Photoshop are intermediate and above, but for this book i’ve discovered that Illustrator is probably more the ideal software to use. I’ve already mapped out how i’ll be putting the ‘dummy book’ together (when its ready…be patient people…hehe) using Indesign and Photoshop, but like i said Illustrator looks like it has more potential. 

I had a quick look this week for the first time and it seems pretty similar to Photoshop, obviously with a few differences. I am impressed with the whole vector (over raster) focus…perfect for my illustrations. 

I’m taking a crash course and doing many of the lessons over at lynda.com (http://www.lynda.com/Member.aspx). I highly recommend checking out their site if you want to brush up on your skills for a whole bunch of software packages or just want to learn something new.
