We're excited to let you know that our print and web clinics are being launched. We'll get started on Monday April 14th with Pretty Much All You Need to Know About Adobe Illustrator, an introduction to Illustrator. It's been one of our most requested workshops thus far.



On Monday, April 21st, we'll be offering the workshop Using Coda. Coda, is a one-window web development application for OS X which is made by Panic, the same folks who produce our favorite FTP application, Transmit. They've graciously donated a license to be randomly given to one particpant in attendance at the Using Coda workshop. In addition, they've also donated a license to the Public Design Center. Hooray for the folks at Panic!
