I think getting comfortable in Photoshop again took away a bunch of time from it, and with more time I could probably get something more refined. I've learned and gotten better at a lot of things while going through this project. I've learned the usefulness of keyboard shortcuts (even if I already knew how to use them) and a lot about changing the properties of an object, and I've gotten more confident that I'
