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.
Downloads & Exercise files
Transcript
So here it is on the desktop, uh, the dream of exercise files that you've downloaded. Open 'em up. And you can see in here there's just a text file for all the colors that we're gonna be using. Okay? You can obviously follow along and make your own colors, that's totally fine. Um, but if you wanna follow along perfectly, um, there are fonts that we're gonna use and download from Google Fonts.
Of course, you can use your own, uh, images to play along. There's a bunch of them in here. Okay. There's icons and some JPEGs and a few other things in there for you. Um, and the text that we're gonna be using, you could just use Lauren Nsso or any kind of like filler text or your own text. It's okay, but there's some text to get you started.
The next thing I've put up there for you to play along with is the project files. Now the project files are at the end of every video. I'm just gonna save from where I'm at, okay? Where we're up to in the tutorial so that if you get lost or yours is not working perfectly, you can download the, uh, project files and just see where you're up to. And compare my version with your version just to see if, um, you know, just to work out the bugs. So, um, you can grab those if you need to.
There's also production videos. So production videos are, you'll see them through the list, um, of contents of the different videos. They're kind of at the end of every section, there's a production video and it's just like, I'm gonna be scribing, uh, principle and describing it and demonstrating it, and we'll be ready to go. But lots of them will have then have to be repeated quite a few times, um, through the project. So we'll learn, say, uh, how to make a responsive image. Once again, we'll get the ideas and work on it and understand it, but then I'm gonna have to go through and do it to like, say 20 other images.
So I've cut them into separate little videos so that you can skip those if you've got the idea right and you just need to kind of blaze through these tutorials. But if you want to, the production videos are there, you'll pick up little nuggets of workflow, how to get things done in kind of repetitive kind of fashion. But yeah, they're a little boring, so you can skip on on past those ones. Alright, so that's, uh, exercise files, uh, project files and production videos. We'll see you in the next video.
