Difficulty of use.

*Photoshop- I have lots of previous experience with photoshop and have been using it for a year so i shouldn't find using the software too difficult.

*Indesign- i have used Indesign before but i do struggle to use it so that may become an issue.

*Word- I find word very easy to use and i don't think i will find it a difficulty.

*Illustrator- I think it is very hard to use illustrator successfully, it can look messy and not very realistic.

*Bridge- I have used Bridge a lot in the past and find it easy to use.

*Apple Mac- I have an Apple Mac both at home and college and know how to work it.
