March 2010 Meetup

This month we’re going to try something a little bit different. We’ll be teaming up for a combined meeting with the Columbia Adobe User Group to celebrate Photoshop’s 20th birthday. What does that mean for you? A slightly longer meeting format, party favors and of course, cake!

Be sure to bring your favorite Photoshop memory, and dig up the oldest and wackiest PSD you can find. We’ll share your creations with the group, and popular vote will decide the winner of some cool Adobe swag!

The Lineup:

The History of Photoshop

Greg Lunn (@greglunn)
For 20 years, the world has used Adobe Photoshop software to transform creative inspiration into nearly everything we see in print, online, and across media. Greg will share a look at where the program has been & provide a special peek at where it’s going in the future

Photoshop Tips & Tricks

Chris Harrison (@cdharrison)
Chris will be coming all the way up from Augusta to share his expertise with a talk about “Ten Things You Didn’t Know Photoshop Could Do”

Tinkering with Physical Computing
Or…Screwing Around with Random Pieces of Tech

Bryce Bigger (@thebiggerdesign)
Bryce will be busting out some ridiculous equipment and rigging up a DIY demonstration to bring you a basic overview of physical computing using Arduino boards & 3D fabrication. If you’ve ever read Make Magazine, it’ll be kinda like that…on steroids. You won’t want to miss it.

Featured Book:

Fluid Web TypographyThanks to the user group partnerships advertised in the sidebar, we’ll be giving away a free book each month. This month we’ll be giving away a copy of Fluid Web Typography by Jason Cranford Teague. Not just any copy though, this one was signed by the author last week at the SXSW Interactive conference. We’ll choose a random attendee from the sign-in sheet, so be sure to show up and sign-in for a chance to win.
