“The Creative Suite® Deep Dive Seminar
Gives You the Edge To
Satisfy the Toughest Clients,
Breeze Through the Most Challenging Jobs,
and Earn More in 2009!”

Only 30 Seats Available for this Highly Interactive, Professional Seminar.
Thursday, February 26, 2009 in Midtown Atlanta.

Go beyond free "demo-nars" that just showcase flashy features. Slash the time you spend on complex projects. Quit wasting time and money on frustrating software behavior. Eliminate expensive problems caused when you get results you didn't expect. The Deep Dive Seminar is 100% hard-core, professional-level info for people who need to earn a living every day.

Get personal access to a nationally-recognized expert whose full-time job is solving complex problems and delving deep into the software to identify the very best way to ensure trouble-free results.

 

 

 

Warning! This professional seminar is not for everyone.

We won't waste your time on beginner material. You should have at least one full year of working experience - meeting deadlines, working with printers, etc. - as well as using the software on a daily basis.

We don't cover web-specific software like Dreamweaver or Flash. There's a lot here that will help web professionals, but there's not enough time to cover HTML, video, or Flash media tools.

To truly benefit from this seminar, you should be using Creative Suite 3 or 4. If you are using CS2 or earlier, you will not be able to open the InDesign lesson files provided, and the substantial differences in interface in all the applications may be disorienting.

How much does the Deep Dive Seminar cost?

The Deep Dive Seminar is only $349 for a full day of intense, high-quality education. There's no sales pitch or company agenda. The day is jam-packed with advanced techniques for professionals. It's a truly "life changing" event that can alter your entire work experience. But it gets better!

If you register by February 11 you'll get an Early Bird Discount of $50, and pay only $299!

“Canned” courses of one-size-fits-all content can cost nearly $500 per day. The Deep Dive Seminar is built from years of experience and based on material you can't find in any book or commercial courseware. Yes, “demo-nars” are free. They're sales pitches for new software. I can promise you'll never get this kind of insider info, no matter how many demo-nars you attend.

Think about this — how much does your shop charge for a billable hour? $75? $125? $150? Even at the lowest rates, if you save just four billable hours in the next year my Deep Dive Seminar has paid for itself! I guarantee you'll save that, and more.

How did you develop the Deep Dive Seminar?

I've been helping graphics professionals like you master the Adobe Creative Suite for a decade. I used to spend all day battling complex prepess jobs, then spend nights and weekends searching for new solutions.

One day I went to a seminar by a real expert and immediately got answers to problems I had been fighting for months. I realized that mastering these complex tools was my ticket to increasing my value and making more money. I dedicated myself to learning the fastest, smartest way to work, and what I discovered changed my life.

Professionals work hard — tight deadlines, demanding printers, and even more demanding clients — and depend on their knowledge for success. My Deep Dive Seminar is your opportunity to master features and techniques you'll use every day in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat so you can work smarter, faster, and more enjoyably. Investing one day in your career can pay dividends for years. I hope you'll Join me and get the edge you need in 2009!

What's in the Deep Dive Seminar?

Adobe's Creative Suite is a powerfully complex set of tools. We'll go in-depth into the applications that print professionals must know, and show you how to make them work together the way Adobe intended.

 

  • Adobe® Illustrator®
  • Never waste time modifying objects once you know the secrets of the Appearance panel.
  • Quickly create complex shapes from simple, easy shapes using Pathfinder.
  • Gain complete control over the Pen tool with a single key.
  • Simplify your work in complicated illustrations with just a double-click.

 

  • Adobe Photoshop®
  • Quickly and easily fix color casts or fix a faulty image with just three clicks.
  • Generate miles of backgrounds without using the Rubber Stamp tool.
  • Make better-looking silhouettes in less time — without using the Pen tool or Magic Wand.
  • Master layers — the time machine that can save hours on last-minute changes.

 

  • Adobe InDesign®
  • Master InDesign's extensive troubleshooting tools and avoid panic calls from your printer.
  • Discover the crucial keyboard shortcut that puts an end to surprise text formatting.
  • Explore the secret life history of InDesign files and never start over to conquer a stubborn file.
  • Get the simple solution to the frightening discovery that your file is built to the wrong dimensions. You don't have to start over!

 

  • Adobe Acrobat®
  • Make a bulletproof PDF that prints predictably every time.
  • Know when white "stitch lines" or boxes underneath transparent artwork are a problem and how to fix it.
  • Learn what you can and can't fix in a PDF you didn't create, and how to perform the surgery.
  • Get the inside scoop on why Illustrator is not a PDF editor.

Why is the Deep Dive cheaper than other full-day classes?

I got a great deal on a terrific conference facility in midtown Atlanta. The American Marketing Association facility in the Midtown Proscenium Center is a first-rate, fully-equipped, and nicely appointed meeting center with comfortable chairs, spacious desks, and high-quality projectors.

We get a continental breakfast (remember, we're starting early!) and it's conveniently located near dozens of restaurants for lunch. Plus, it's within two blocks of MARTA and there's plenty of parking nearby. This is tons better than a hotel ballroom or amphitheater. Since AMA cut me such a great deal on the rental you get the benefit.

 

When and Where will the seminar be held?

The Deep Dive Seminar is Thursday February 26, 2009 from 9:00am to 5:00pm. We're located in the Midtown Proscenium Center, 1170 Peachtree Street, 3rd Floor, Atlanta, GA 30309 (this is the American Management Association conference center.) We'll serve complimentary pastries and drinks in the morning, as well as drinks during the day.


The center is within walking distance of the Art Center MARTA station. There are several public parking lots nearby. Please arrive no later than 8:15 so you can sign in, get your materials, have something to eat, and get settled in. We'll start promptly at 9:00am and you don't want to miss anything!

There are only 30 seats available. Can you afford to wait? I fully expect this seminar to sell out quickly. It's the only Deep Dive Seminar I have planned for Atlanta this year. Over the years I've learned that 30 students is the maximum number to allow the high level of interaction and personal attention you deserve.

There's no registration at the door. Everyone must register in advance. And once the seats are gone, they're gone! So save your seat and register today!

 

PS: Register by February 11 and get a full-day seminar that can change your work-life forever for only $299!

If you save just 2-4 hours over the next year this seminar will pay for itself. With my Zero-Risk Guarantee you risk nothing and have everything to gain.

Not only do you get a full day of intense, high-quality training, you'll also go home with a full set of cross-platform training files so you can continue to learn at your own pace.
