Introduction to Visual Culture

Geoff Woolfenden took us through an introduction to Imaging 1 and explained what we would be covering in the class. Biggest thing that i took out of the introduction was the importance to manage your files!! Having a bit of trouble with using the Macs as I've never used one before but I love the new features to a regular PC.
