Sean Cooke’s Summary
I am an Adobe Print Professional. Also an Adobe Certified Instructor in Adobe Acrobat 8, Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, and Adobe InDesign CS3, with an in-depth knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite 4, QuarkXPress, Adobe Flash CS4 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. I have worked in all aspects of printing, from commercial offset and screen printing to wide-format digital and vinyl cutting. In addition, my years of pre-press and design background add to the class experience. I have been an instructor since 2002. In December 2006, I took on the role of TECHEAD Lead Instructor, which I offer both in-class and on-site training throughout Virginia and North Carolina. In my free time, I enjoy "photo-shopping" images of my children and identifying the fonts in movie credits.
