Skills i need to develop

I have basic knowledge in software such as Illustrator but would like to further skills, the same with Photoshop as this is software i constantly use. I have basic skills in Adobe after effects also which we are using at the moment. I would like to become a lot better with this software as i am enjoying it.

After christmas we will be doing the typo module which is going to help with my work a lot. We have touched on some of the basics already.

Developing ideas by hand drawings, sketches which can then be further developed on the computer.

My professional/creative aims

Professional looking packaging. In the past module i enjoyed making packaging a lot. I love work that has clearly had a lot of thought and work put into it. Different clever packaging that you will remember when you see it.

Creating and developing ideas so they are original and different.
