I am using Photoshop for the GIFs, like the ones I showed off earlier (the Pokemon one & the dancing stick figure one). It's really not that hard. Most of it I have to do it on Illustrator and I hate Illustrator with a passion.
I feel your pain. I HATE Illustrator with a burning passion. Never can find out how to do things in it. I used to use Illustrator to make 3D elements, but found Powerpoint 2007 to be a much better source for making 3D objects. Hope everything goes well on your final project!
Anyhoodle.. I only have two days of "hell" left now.. Thank goodness. All I have to do now is the Final Exams and then I'm finally free! I have to say, with a combination of my job, school, and a bunch of other crap that has gone on that I'd rather not talk about, this year has SUCKED big time!
I really hope my junior year is MUCH better than my crappy sophomore year. This school year definitely has been one full of nothing but struggle and stress.
