Photoshop: I'm proficient enough that my partners have asked me for help/tips on making a comp.

Illustrator: I belong nowhere near a machine with this program on it.

Fluent. I used to be an art director before moving into a copy role. I am not fluent in InDesign though, I’ve never really used it

I’d say I’m just as fluent with Photoshop as most art directors. I’ve been designing things with Photoshop since I was 16. It’s fun when people assume I know nothing about the program. I really have no desire to work in Photoshop day in and day out, though. So I became a copywriter.

Relatively OK at PS for my own art/illustration needs, woefully underskilled in terms of actual work-relevant comping needs.

Decent! If my partner’s out I can handle the simpler stuff. But I’d never sell myself on that skill.

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
