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.

Transcript
All right, first things first, is to download the exercise files. There'll be a link just here, go and download those. Also know that there's something called the completed files. All they are is, at the end of every video I'll save my After Effects file to where I'm at, and you can download it. There'll be a link on every video screen for that. And it's just, if you get a little lost, you can check mine and see how yours is different.
The other thing is that there is a cheat sheet at the end of this, end of this video. And there's also a PDF you can print off and stick next to your computer, and use as well. There is also a project at the end. So we're going to work through together. I'm going to set you some tasks, and you can use that stuff in your portfolio along with anything else you make in this course. You're totally allowed to use it.
And the last thing is reviews. It's a bit early for me to be asking you for reviews for this site, but as soon as you get to a point in this course when you're like, "That's a pretty good course", I'd love you to leave a review. It's the kind of stuff that's what drives my business and pays my income, as other people come into the courses. So, reviews are really helpful. Likes, shares, those types of things.
All right, let's get into building our Motion Graphics and Visualized Data.
