━ ❪ CHAPTER SUMMARY ❫

where we'll be discussing some of the basics about the tools and websites used in this graphic help book.

now, before we go on, do note that i don't use any apps; only websites for editing. this is bc i prefer editing on laptop and apps don't really work the same way on windows as it does with the mobile version. soo, most tutorials here are really possible for anyone to try.
