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

Before we get into images, I'm gonna show you,  I find it tough to work to the exact measurement. Say the 16 6 90 pixels wide. That's exactly what we should be working to. But I need to see a little buffer around the edges here,  a little bit of edging, just to see  what it's gonna like when it's sitting  inside of a bigger screen. So to do that, I'm gonna grab the Art board tool, hiding  underneath the Move tool. Okay?

I'm gonna click on this one here  where it says LG Desktop. I'm gonna scroll down so I get to the middle bits. I'm gonna drag this out a bit, drag that out a bit. It doesn't really matter how far,  because what's gonna happen is if I turn my guides back on,  you'll see the guides are still where they should be, okay? They still that nine 60 wide,  including the padding on the outside. So next thing we need to do is we've got a lot  of boxes in here that aren't the right size.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna scroll down  and find my Neva. I'm gonna hold command key down on my Mac  or control key on a pc,  and I'm gonna select all of the boxes  that I need to go and change. And there's the footer. I'm gonna zoom out quite a bit so I can see everything. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use my Transform tool. So remember command T on a Mac and control T on a pc,  and then I'm gonna drag these out to match the sides.

If I hold down alt, it'll drag both sides with me evenly. Okay? And just make sure they're overlapping a bit  so they're all kind of over the edge there. When you're finished, hit enter on your keyboard  and just gives us a bit more breathing room. We're gonna turn our guides off, which is still perfect. I'm gonna zoom in a bit, and this is just gonna give me a  little breathing room around the outside  before I start working on the next part.
