SwansonDesign, Principal
I have 10+ years experience in the field of New Media. My educational accomplishments include a BFA in Photo/Film/Electronic Media from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and an MFA in Computer Animation from the International Fine Arts College (now MIUAD) in Miami, Florida.
My knowledge includes Adobe products, including After Effects, and Autodesk Maya, a high end 3D program which was our main focus and concentration in graduate school.
I have been teaching animation and graphic design online since 2003. I have worked for four different universities, and have taught everything from art foundation courses, Autodesk Maya and Adobe programs. My most recent teaching assignment was developing 2 courses in Maya for Baker College Online, located in Flint, Michigan. I was also the adjunct professor instructing these courses. I also recently taught a Graduate-level course in Adobe After Effects for the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Adobe Captivate is one program I use in development. I also collaborated with NIIT in India in development for the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online.
