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.

Now the next tool in your web designer toolkit is gonna be the eyedropper tool. It's a nice easy tool for knowing which color that you're working with. So it's hiding underneath the ruler tool. Okay? Um, it should be set to the eyedropper tool by default, but we were using this earlier, remember? So I'm gonna use the eyedropper tool, and it's just really good for picking color.
So I wanna know what color this green is. I'm gonna click on it, and you'll notice that up here in my color swatches it points to it. And here in my foreground color, it selects it. Let's double click the foreground color down here, and you'll notice that we get our HEXA decimal number. And this is the number that generally gets used in web design to establish color. There are some other ways to do with RGBA, which will look at later on, but you can use these RGB colors as well if you need to.
Let's click okay. And that is the eye drop tool for picking color. Let's say we want to use that color over and over again in our document. What you can do is you can create what's called a swatch. Now, to do a swatch, let's say I want the speech color here. If I select it, I can move it in my swatch panels and I can use this little fly out here that says New Swatch, and it uses my foreground color that we've picked with the eyedropper tool, and I can call this BYOL peach.
Click okay. Now, what I'll do is you'll see him just appear in the end of my little swatch panel here, and it means that I get to reuse that when I need to. Let's say that I want to, I'm gonna switch this back to black and white. I'm gonna use my rectangle tool. I'm gonna draw a rectangle and it's gonna be black. But what I can do is I can use this little dropdown, and you'll see there's my peach color at the end of my swatches, and I can reuse that color over and over.
