Kristan Jan Q. Franco is rooted from General Santos City, and is a 20-year old student of Notre Dame of Dadiangas University. With the course Information Technology, he is into web designing, graphic designs, ads, and photography. Having been introduced into digital tools such as Adobe Photoshop and CSS coding, he began designing variety of graphics in his high school days. When he stepped into college, his interests expanded. With a cheap digicam and a Single Lens Reflex camera, he was engaged into photography and sees it as a hobby. The very basic image-editing program I knew when I found out that I love sketching and designing was MS-Paint! Of course, it would help a lot if you learn a higher program aside from the very basic brush and drag feature of MS-Paint to fully expand your skills in image-editing.

Certain softwares were created to suffice the needs of the on-growing skills of a designer. Photoshop and Corel Draw arrive in the scene. Since some of us could not afford purchasing software like these, unless you maximize the use of torrent sites, software publishers created an online extension of image-editing software.
