A Passion for Creativity | Luckham Creative: Learning to Adapt to a Digital Lifestyle

new update: Introductory Seminar for Businesses
* see the update in the next post.

In adapting to a digital lifestyle, I keep hearing people say “it's too difficult”, or “I'm too old to get in to that”. I've always felt you're never too old to learn something new, especially with all that is going on these days with the internet and blogging, photo sharing, digital photography, VoIP (long distance phone calls over the internet), Web 2.0, etc., etc. It's never too late to learn a thing or two, so with that in mind Dedicated Desktop is in the planning stages of setting up a few seminars on “Learning to Adapt to a Digital Lifestyle”.

At this stage I'm looking for some feedback, this is a chance for you to help in the planning process... what better way to get exactly what you want out of a seminar! So here's a few questions for you to think about...If there was one thing you could learn about in regards to computers and the internet, what would it be? Blogging, Photo Sharing, Family or Personal Websites, Social Networking, Digital Photography, Internet Phone Calls, Web 2.0 Tools, On-line Storefronts, Searching the Internet... or just making the most of your computer and the Internet?Would you prefer an in-person seminar, an on-line virtual seminar, or one-on-one personal training in your home or office?

Would you want the seminar to include computer access, would you bring a laptop, or would taking notes during demonstrations be okay?

Please leave a comment here, or send an e-mail with any feedback you might have. All those that provide feedback, will receive a discount on any of the seminars offered.

Here's a bit of background on the training and/or seminars I've done in the past...

In addition to providing services in Graphic Design and Web Design through my company, Dedicated Desktop, I have also been providing training since 1990. I taught and designed courses for Vancouver Community College and the International Academy of Design and Technology, in Ottawa, as well as other smaller private schools. Students and clients have included print shops, design studios, government agencies, post secondary institutions, as well as individuals looking to begin a new career or just upgrade their computer skills.

I have also presented seminars and workshops for private companies and the general public on subjects such as “Web sites: Build it right, and they will come!”, “The Apple Macintosh in a Graphic Design Environment”, “Pre-press: Making sure your digital files Print!”, and “Print Production: Creating an efficient workflow”.
