Ten Ton is on a crusade against bad teaching. Bottom line is, there’s a severe lack of quality training that gives learners exactly what they want. The "learning industry" (including colleges, training institutions, video-based training companies, and so on) is full of out-of-work designers, hacks, and wannabe superstars. After all, if you can’t find work, you can always "teach." I’ve got a big problem with that. Simply knowing how a piece of software works doesn’t mean you can teach it — just as owning a camera doesn’t make you a photographer. I love teaching, and it truly is a combination of skills and character traits; subject knowledge accounts for about half of what makes a great teacher. Problem is, a lot of instructors think they can teach. They should stop. This is not amateur hour at the Roxy. This is your education (that you laid out your hard-earned money for) that we’re talking about!

Be sure to check out this month’s issue of Photoshop Creative magazine, where you’ll find a fantastic review of Ten Ton Photoshop. Here’s an excerpt:

“Geoff Blake is the mastermind behind Ten Ton’s two part DVD set, in which he confidently teaches you Photoshop from the ground up.

The entertaining and enthusiastic voice of Geoff Blake presents you with the fundamentals of Photoshop in over seven hours of video tuition. They include more than 60 lessons on everything that Photoshop has to offer on its interface and toolsets. Geoff Blake explains in the DVD’s introduction that he had recorded too much material to  fit on one disc, so decided to give Photoshop learners the choice of buying two discs separately or together.”

In addition to the review, magazine readers are also treated to a fantastic offer from Ten Ton Books as well. Curious? Be sure to check out the latest issue of Photoshop Creative!
