I can impart the love of design, what greater gift is there?

I'm an easy going teacher, software and design requires patience in both the student and teacher. It is a show and tell, where you will be explaining yourself repeatedly. I feel the best teachers, show the student what they expect, and have the student both verbally and by demonstration show they understand the processes. If they can't verbally walk me through it, it hasn't sunk in and they won't be able to repeat the lesson when I'm not around. I don't want that, I'm paid to make sure that isn't the case.

Art & Design are not about software but skills

I've been working in graphic design since I was 18 when I was in the catalog department of Mary Maxim's doing simple computer layouts, pasteups and stat camera production. I was named 'new artist for the milenia' in 2000 by the Detroit Artist Market. I work currently with politicians judges marketing firms other clients providing brand management/design, print, microwebsites, and digital illustration services.
I was taught by professionals, the teachers I had were drill sergants installing skills through repetition. I work much the same way. The lessons I create are going to repeat form and function, proportion, typography and layout, pre production planning as well as the subject matter. You have to learn to walk before you get to the Olympics. This helps refresh people looking for that, and instilling the skills and understanding of the time it will take you to get to where yo ... read more
