MP3 reflection

Can you identify a large theme(s) running through the lessons?
In marking period 3, the focus of our work was typography. Typography is the use of type in design. Typography in graphic design can affect how people react to a design you create. Every choice a graphic designer makes has an effect on how people would react to what you want them to see.
What did you do in the labs?
 The labs were filter lab, type kerning lab and many more. in the filter lab, we used images and converted them into Smart Objects. In the Filter lab, we added filters on top of our image to add an effect. Filters change the appearance of an image or part of an image by changing the shades & colors of the pixels away.  Although when using Smart Objects in Photoshop it preserves the image meaning it is a form of Non-Destructive Editing. Another lab we did was the Type Kerning lab. In this lab, we used the kerning function to alter and fix typed words by adding normal spacing. 
Why are these skills important for a web designer?
These skills are important for a web designer because these skills can be used in the real world, on a job, For example, a company might ask you to edit a design to make it look more pleasing and would be able to do that without editing the image.
