Review:
Adobe Photoshop is a program use to design already existed images. We can take a photo with our camera and then insert it to our pc and redesign it by adding more details or delete some details, etc. The most common thing people do when open this program is redesign the already existed images. People rarely draw from the beginning using photoshop.

Pros:

• It is professional in editing images.
• A fast running programs
• It also has 3D options.

Cons:

• The program is designed for pros. to use
• Junior cannot use this program

Summary:
I have used this program since I was grade 10 in high school. I used this program to edit the photo that I took and also I added some effect to it. I’m not a professional in photoshop but since I’ve learned a little bit about it, I’m be able to use it for extremely simple things like: erasing, add colors and other simple stuff.

Windows Movie Maker

Review:
Windows movie maker is used for cut or add video clip to one another. Of course, it’s function is not only that but also we can edit the sound and add or remove them at the accurate time we want. There’s also subtitles function.

Pros:

• It is simple but powerful software for multimedia
• It’s function is simple

Cons:

• This program consuming a lot of time to create a final video

Summary:
I have used this program in my portfolio project during my English Prep School year. I recorded videos, then cut it and mix it with other videos to create one video. Also, I added subtitles in order for audiences feel easy to understand. And finally, I design some interface of the video to make it more attractive.

Review:
3ds Max is a computer graphic software that designers may use it to design 3d objects. 3ds Max is not only produce images, but it also produce 3d animated video. Only professional can use this software. However, junior designers also can use this software but only design simple things or simple animation. But this didn’t mean that juniors cannot become professionals. Before we became a professional in something we need to learn first. So, this is the same thing.
Pros:

• The program is really effective in graphic design
• The interface is designed to be easy for the user to work on their project
• It has a lot of options to choose. For example, we can hide/show things
• Every level of designers can use this program

Cons:

·         Because it has a lot of functions, tools, and other options made user confuse

Summary:

I’m a junior graphic designers and I have used 3Ds Max for my simple 3D designs. Since I’m still in foundation year in Zaman University, I don’t have any instructor to guide how to use it. But I still learn do simple thing by myself. For example, design a 3D ice-cream and other simple stuff.
