I found this commercial that I wanted to share with you its promoting photoshop; This is by far to funny.

There I was again looking for videos that I can share with you to help you better yourself in photoshop then I came across a video saying that You Suck At Photoshop I am asking what the hell is this lol (That’s laugh out loud for the new school internet users..being the old school earthlings). Apparently this is a guy taking a new approach to teaching the video tutorials and I think it’s working for him. This photoshop video tutorial can be useful to you because it teaches you how to use the path tool with a mask to get ride of a background; yip that’s taking away the background with no eraser.

If you have 54 minutes and 51 seconds to boost your knowledge in advertising history in order to better your ad’s or the way you think I advise you to watch this video, A conversation about advertising, with David Ogilvy. I admire Mr. Ogilvy because just like him I wanted to work for Y&R, I mean I still would do it if I had the opportunity but I created an Advertising Agency just like Ogilvy because of passion just like he did. Please, if you don’t watch all of it at least go to the end because he gives strong advice to young people interested in advertising; example go hard and give what ever you do your all!I am Dwayne Tucker and thank you for reading DwayneTucker.com

Hello world! Hello to you to! Yes I am talking to you sitting behind your screen with both eyes glued to the number 2…haha well it was because you just read that. This entry is to help you go out and get something, help you want to be someone, live happy and die with a name. Many people have been asking me, “Dwayne how do you do what you do!” My answer to that is “I Nike it!” it’s a bit stale but for real I just do it. ☺ I am only I am only 19 years old, however that doesn’t mean I am going to wait until I am thirty to get the nice things I want because if I start when I am thirty I will be lucky to see them at the age of forty-one; I look at it like this my father died when he was thirty-nine, no one knows when they are going to die.Here is how you should look at it.

I sat down in my doctor’s office wishing photoshop was made for doctors so he could simply hit S on his keyboard to select the clone stamp tool, go to a normal section of my mouth and fix my gad damn tonsils! Yip that’s right on my Christmas break I got strep again or here in the Bahamas we call it Tonsillitis (Does anyone know if that’s the same thing? Leave a comment and let me know). My throat still kills me; however, Grammy decided to put the clone tool to the side and just use some of her old fashion magic making some garlic, honey and lime drink that smelled, I call it “Grammies Bucks” taste bad but it works!… I’m getting a bit better.

I wanted to tell everyone from Bahamas, straight down to Australia, anywhere in the world who reads my blog HAPPY NEW YEAR! Make 08 a better year. Bahamas that means make more money and lower the damn crime rate please, we do live in paradise so keep it that way!

I want to inform everyone due to me being sick for the second time over winter break and still not fully recovered from my sickness I am not risking ending up in the hospital in Savannah again like last trimester so I will not be at SCAD. I will return the following trimester and make up for this time next summer going into my CR. year. I will me making more lunch money in the mean time…hopefully (was that a joke?), I will be flying a lot due to my advertising agency and photography adventures.

I will keep you updated with PhotoShop, Photography & Advertising!!
