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

In this video we're gonna show you how  to use layers a little bit more. Now there's gonna be times where you open a document  and you really want to find something  particularly on the document. And rather than going through  and trying to find it through the search items,  what you can do is you can use some  of these search filters, okay? Some of these layer filters along the top here. So what you can do is say you wanna find everything in this  document that's typed 'cause say you've changed the body  copy font from roboto back to aerial for some reason. Okay?

What you can do is filter just the layers. You see these? Just have the type. Then what I could do, click the top one, hold shift,  click the last one and go up here into my type tool  and change them all to  aerial, okay? And I'll peg aerial bolt. Okay?

Now you'll see everything is now aerial. Okay? It's a nice easy way to do that. I'm gonna undo that 'cause I don't like aerial. So you wanna go through and start playing with the colors. What you can do is you can click on this one here,  it's just our shapes layers, okay?

So all our rectangles appear. Say you've got um, a group of things  that have a drop shadow on it and you want to go  and change the drop shadow, okay? What you could do is you can go to this one, go to a fix  and use this drop down here  and say everything that's got a drop shadow appeared. I've got nothing using a drop shadow in this case. So I've got nothing showing in my layers panel here. And if you get to a point where you  didn't realize you changed this  or you've opened up another document  and it's got this layer of fact applied to it,  what you can do is just flip the switch there  to off kinda, it goes back to normal.

You can turn it on and off to toggle between the last search  and everything back on.
