Today we spent more time on the In Design program in the Mac suite. The program is new to us all and as it's the program we’ll be producing our trend book on it's quite vital we get to grips with at least the basics. Many of the processes used within the program are similar to those on the other Adobe programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop so hopefully it's fairly easy to suss!
Jamie also spent time talking us through copyright. As far as I understand it...using another person's work (whatever the format), without their permission, is counter to copyright rules. He explained the different opinions people have regarding copyright. Some people feel copyright is a good way of protecting their work however other's feel it stifles creativity. To be honest I understand both sides of view. For this project I think I will err on the side caution, referencing as much as I can but bearing in mind the fact I've been using material from the internet and books for most of my education and have never had a problem - here's hoping that doesn't change.
