Picture This....
Fairfield University has recently been hyping up its RCADE, which is a state of the art media center on campus. This past Monday, I took a workshop with Adobe Photoshop and learned first-hand how complete a center it was.
First of all, Photoshop is an impressive tool for any aspiring photographer. The program has the ability to import any picture and alter it to your liking. You can eliminate red eye, add or subtract colors, alter the background or the subject, and create graphic designs on a image. The possibilities are endless.
The most impressive aspect of the center itself was the staff. They had a full-time staff of what looked like about four or five instructors. Our instructor, Mr. Peter Sarawit, was very knowledgeable about MAC computers and all of their components. He was a good teacher, explaining the details of the program.
Secondly, it was impressive how accessible the center is to the students. The RCADE has three to four workshops every week and Fairfield students just have to sign up. A student can learn an array of things, ranging from Photoshop to film editing. The catalogue is impressive.
Overall, the center does live up to the hype that Fairfield University puts on it and anyone interested in audio or visual departments should definitely look into taking a workshop.
