Photoshop Qui-keys: A quick-step guide for learning Photoshop in less time than it takes for the average nooner. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540424266)

Over 25 years ago I started dabbling in graphic design, only then it was referred to desktop publishing. With my OCR type ball firmly in place in the old IBM Selectric III, I began placing clip art with text and created the MOD (Message Of the Day) for my Navy training center in Dam Neck, Virginia. It took me nearly 20 years to realize that graphic design was my calling, as one design job or another had always fallen into my lap throughout the years. At that time, in 2004, I decided to get my Bachelor's degree in one of the graphic design fields, Visual Effects and Motion Graphics. While I haven't done much in the way of that, I have stayed on top the design field, honing and perfecting my skills with every chance I get. Within just a few short years of graduating, I was given the opportunity to instruct at one of the design schools where I live - The International Academy of Design & Technology (now Sanford Brown), and taught there for several years. Currently, after merging my ability to teach with my passion for design and typography, I'm striking out on my own. Writing my first book is the beginning of putting my new mantra in to practice - "Learn, Do, Teach". Every day we have the opportunity to learn something new, do what we love and teach what we've learned. I believe this isn't only an obligation to ourselves, but that it is our obligation to society to making future generations better than ours.
