Design Fangirling

I was just watching a training video that blew me away...enough for me to overcome my shyness and email the trainer to thank him for making a huge positive impact on my workflow. It occurs to me I'd like to give a shoutout to the trainers who I lovelovelove.

Nigel French - Lynda.com trainer, amazing graphic designer. His Photoshop for designer courses are sorely needed since most Photoshop courses seem to focus on photography

Mordy Golding - Illustrator genius. He generously offers free hour-long Illustrator seminars on Fridays with Mordy

David Blatner and Anne-Marie Concepcion - InDesign gurus, trainers at Lynda.com and creators of Indesign Secrets podcast/videocasts. (I believe the short Indesign Secrets videocasts are free at Lynda.com, where they also have full-length paid courses well worth the money--I bookmark certain chapters and periodically re-watch them because the InDesign learning curve is so steep.) The blog at Indesgn Secrets is very active, lively and helpful.

Dave Cross and Corey Barker - my favorite "Photoshop Guys" as they focus not only on image processing but on design, typography, workflow and special effects. Corey does cool reconstructions of movie poster art and Dave made me love smart objects.

Colleen Coover Oh my god I just learned so much from watching ONE of Corey Barker's tutorials. I tend to forget that even though I use Photoshop to draw more than to design, I can always learn new techniques to apply. Thanks for these links!

Jordan Price You're so welcome. I see very, very few tutorials geared toward people who draw and paint in photoshop. (Corey is amazing!)
