I tried using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop in the first two semesters, but I did not use them for this project because the software is resource-intensive, causing my computer to run slowly, and I found the interface cumbersome and difficult to master. Outside of this project, I also tried CSP; I found its features to be similar to SAI2, but it was not as user-friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commonly Used Software I searched online for software commonly used in the industry and listed only the most popular options; this list is not exhaustive.
