Daniel Scott
Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

All right, getting started...
first things first, is download the exercise files...
so there will be a link on the screen here, you can download that...
all the files that we use in this course, so do that first...
in that same file there'll be a shortcut sheet...
so kind of get that and print it off, and stick it next to your desk...
and you can circle the ones that you use a lot.
Make sure you got the software installed, if you haven't done that yet...
and if you haven't signed up, there is a link here, it's an affiliate link...
there is a discount for you and there is a commission for me, so we all win...
also, just make sure you're downloading the Lightroom...
Adobe just call it Adobe Lightroom...
there is Adobe Classic or Lightroom Classic...
not that one, get the Lightroom version.
I talk really fast, I try to keep it slow for this...
I talk normally a lot faster to my friends and poor family...
but there is a code in the corner down here...
a code?, a cog, you can click on that and change the speed to half speed...
or if you-- some people think I talk too slow, that's weird...
but you can speed me up as well...
also things are changing fast in this particular software...
Lightroom, this version of it is reasonably new for Adobe...
so they're adding things all the time.
If things do change have a look in the comments below the video...
if it's just something simple I'll just write in there...
or one of the other students will write in there...
if it's a really big change I'll re-record it, just let me know...
all right, that is it, getting started over...
let's get into the course.
