"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the class. You may call me Caleb; I'm completing a terminal degree in Graphic Design. I consider myself a designer now. I've been a software developer and computer engineer for almost 20 years. I am completing my thesis, now. It is a desktop application to assist artists in assessing whether people who look at their works react the way they want them to, and in completing it, I am using all of my old and new talents.

In well over 35 years of programming and working with other people's and company's software products, I understand how human interfaces are designed to work. I know functional programming methods and object-oriented design methods. I am an avid follower of test-driven and behavior-driven development.

I am proficient in many software applications and programming languages.

You want to learn how to perform a specific technique in a certain program. Tell me about it. I can show you how. I have done it all. I've been formally trained in almost the entire suite of Adobe applications, Painter, and the major user interface programs. I started the hobby of photography in 1997; I see it as an art form—control the light. I can teach you the fundamentals and how to expand your creative vision.

Be ready to excel. I will teach you all the things you want to know." less...
