Testimonials
“Shaun’s class gave me a good foundation to start learning Photoshop; a program that had been mystifying and intimidating for me before taking the class. I now feel like I have a good base to work from to continue learning how to use this powerful tool. Shaun’s in-depth knowledge of PS and Adobe was very helpful as he could explain complex processes, and helped me troubleshoot through other issues I was having with Adobe products. I would definitely recommend this well-priced class for anyone hoping to learn to work with Photoshop.”

“Machia has the intellectual capacity of an entire Ivy League School. For those who know what I’m talking about, you know that it can be difficult to contain such exuberance, creativity and passion. Shaun Machia is one of those creators who, if truly measured, will blur the distinction between reality and make believe in one fell swoop. Hire him and pay him time and a half. You will get double your money’s worth.”
Patrick Ross – Owner – Rock Farmer Records
