When I was studying Art and design at college in England, the TV studies department who were using Genlocks used with Amigas and it was affiliated with the arts department. I produced some of my final pieces with an Amiga. Technically, it was not a business and more of an educational tool which the college had invested in. Not many knew about Amigas and computer graphic capabilities and so the examiner were quite satisfied with my D-paint animation and presentation, maybe even impressed
. I even showed some of the beauty therapists at college how to digitally paint on digitized photos on an Amiga and change the colour palette of make up to get an impression of how the final result might look. I was using Digi view for digitizing which was lent to me by the college to get photos digitized. As a business the college was interested in Amigas as cutting edge technology, where as the art department were more interested in creative applications of this new tech. But for me Amigas weren't for spreadsheets and organizational system control. I wanted to discover new ways to make music and do art through a digital medium, whilst playing games and getting into the demo scene at the same time
