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

In this video, we're gonna mock up our footer. It's pretty basic. We're gonna bring in a group of icons. We're gonna get a file place embedded. And I've got this one called Icons Social. It's an illustrator file, so I'm gonna place place this one.

Okay, gonna bring it. Great. I'll move it down. I'm gonna place it so it lines up with one  of the column guides here. Now zoom in to double check, tap it across and return. When I'm ready, I'll zoom out.

And what I'd like to do is make sure it's in the right  place, so I'm gonna make sure it's inside my footer box. Okay. With everything else, I'm gonna make the same color  as my icon, so I'm going to find my icons. I'm gonna select the icon here,  and what I'm gonna do is right click it  and go to copy layer style, go down, find my  graphic and my footer right. Click him and go to the one that says Paste layer style. And it's gonna be the same.

Add one last thing to my foot. I'm gonna grab the type tool and I'm gonna add my copyright. So I'm going to click once  and I'm gonna paste in my all rights reserved. Pick a font that's a little bit more appropriate for it. So it's gonna be roboto, it's gonna be medium,  but it's gonna be quite small. So it's gonna be down to 12 pixels.

Great, great. And that's gonna be my footer.
