Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI 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.

Hi. In this video we're gonna look at zooming and moving around in a document. Now there are many ways to zoom in and out of a document. I'm gonna show you the quickest and easiest way on our Mac. You hold down the command key and tap the plus on your keyboard. Now, if you're on a pc, hold down the control key and tap plus and it will zoom in.
Now, holding that same key and tapping the minus will zoom out. Now what we wanna do is we wanna make sure that we're viewing our Photoshop mockup at the same size. It's gonna be rendered in our web browser. Um, because our web browser, obviously we can't zoom in and out like we can do in Photoshop. So what we wanna do is see it at actual size. Now to do this, if you are on any computer other than a new MacBook Pro, the easiest way is to get a view and pick a hundred percent.
Okay? That will show it at its actual size. Now, you can see our mine here, it is about half the size it should be because I'm using our MacBook Pro with a retina display. And long story short, it essentially shows you everything at about half size. Now, what we need to do with anybody with a MacBook Pro is that you need to be set to this 200%, okay? Blow it up twice the size.
Now Photoshop will show it the same sort of size. It will show you on a website, so you can be a bit clearer about what sort of font sizes you want to pick. So to be clear, if you are on any computer, but a MacBook Pro Retina display, use this a hundred percent. If you are on a retina display, use 200%. Now that we're in this kind of closer zoom level, we wanna move around. Now the long way is I could drag these little sliders around, and that works.
A nicer way to work is if I hold down my spacebar key on my keyboard. You'll see my cursor changes from, uh, move tool to this little hand. And this hand will allow me to click hold and drag my mouse okay? And move around my document so I can click, I'm holding my space bar key down the whole time, and I'm clicking, and I'm dragging, and then letting go with my mouse. And this is a nice, easy way to move around the document, right? That's, uh, zooming and navigating your document.
