Image Editing

Basic Image Editing

I have used the following programs for basic image editing as both a teacher and a blogger.

  • Canva
  • Pixlr
  • WeVideo
  • An open sketchbook featuring a drawing of a woman, Steph, in black and white, surrounded by colorful and stylized flowers. A hand with painted nails draws blue flowers at the top.
  • A hand holding a green pencil adds to a sketch laying on a white table. The sketch shows a woman in black and white. She is surrounded by colorful and stylized flowers. Yellow and white flowers sit on the table next to the sketch.
  • A collage of graphics made to illustrate blog post titles
  • Collage of images made for a freelance website including buttons, carousel highlights, and site logo.
  • Words on a starry sky: "Books You'll Love As Much As Your Students"
  • A blue bookmark with a funny face drawing that says "Kill your darlings."
  • An orange bookmark with a cute monster that says, "Your story is alive. Better take it for a walk."
  • An info-graphic that details the difference between a developmental and a line edit for potential clients.
  • A logo that says River Writers 2021. A sun radiates around the word River.
  • An orange monster on an orange background with the words: Your story is alive.
  • Stylized books and a coffee cup are set against a dark blue background with the words: I like my books like I like my coffee: All the time.

I also have familiarity with the following and feel confident in my ability to quickly gain competency:

  • Photoshop and Express
  • Adobe Premiere
  • After Effects
  • Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express

As someone who has blogged for ten years, I understand the importance of using licensed images in order to avoid legal liability and avoid financial penalties. The images on this site are royalty-free and accessed through my Canva subscription.
