Columbia Adobe User Group videos posted

The video of my demo at the Columbia Adobe User Group (CAUG) has been posted on Vimeo. You can catch my InDesign Typography Video over there. (My 15-20 minute presentation somehow turned into a 36 minute demo… sorry about that…) I think its a great resource to have these demos archived and posted.

I’d recommend watching Micah Thomason’s presentation on using Brushes in Photoshop. I’ve been using Photoshop since version 2.3 and I use Photoshop all the time, but had no idea that the brushes tool could do so much. Micah takes you through all the brush settings in Photoshop CS4 and explains how to use the brushes to make some very interesting textures.

They post all of the demos – two per meeting – to the CAUG Vimeo Channel. Right now, there are videos on topics like Camera RAW and Flash that are great resources.

My thanks again to Greg Lunn for inviting me to speak. I enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to attending upcoming meetings.

Advanced typography with InDesign at the June Columbia Adobe User Group Meeting

Ever wondered how to access OpenType features in InDesign? Looking for tips on formating, hyphenation and spacing? Confused about using style sheets? Want to know how a nested style can save you time?

I’ll be speaking about advanced typographic features in InDesign at this month’s Columbia Adobe User Group meeting. And I’m planning to cover all of those topics… It’s Thursday, June 11 at 6:00 p.m. at the SC ETV Building near Williams Brice Stadium.

Also on the agenda is Cyberwoven’s Micah Thomason talking about Photoshop Brush Techniques. And thanks to Greg Lunn for pulling this organization together for Columbia.

If you can’t join us in person, you can join CAUG online (via Acrobat Connect) on at 6:00 pm. And if you can’t make it, past sessions have been posted to Vimeo so if they do post the video, I’ll link to it… Hope to see you there.
