-
- SLIDE ONE (A-10 'Tank Buster') is an Illustrator document created using
- simple paths and no blends to help minimise time and problems during

- deadline in less than 1 hour for that evenings paper. Created in Adobe Illustrator.

- distortion, to create a bar chart, again Illustrator. (approx time 2.5 hours)

- Both it and the Warrior were produced on deadline using Illustrator and simple tone
- paths on layers (Scud approx 2.5 hours - Warrior 1.5 hours)

- SLIDE THIRTEEN (Photo retouching) This family picture (my grandfather's the sailor)
- was scanned from an old postcard which was broken, torn, faded and badly frayed at the edges.
- I completed all work in Photoshop then did a mimic of a hand coloured version, both
- were output to a dye-sublimation printer to give a photographic finish. My father was almost in
