Mac Screencasts

Explode your Graphic Design knowledge with these short, power-packed informational screencasts!

'Screencasts' are SHORT videos (usually between 3 and 5 minutes long) showing how to accomplish specific tasks - usually related to using a software program or graphic design tool.

The great thing about screencasts is that once you view it you can then immediately implement it in your graphic design business. So you have immediate and measurable results almost instantly.

In almost all cases, the screencast is created using computer screen capture software (like SnapzProX or Camtasia Studio), and the result is usually broadcast on the web in the flash video format.

Please forward any future screencasts ideas you would like to see by sending an email to:

info@creativebusinessowner.com

Here is a collection of screencasts assembled from different departments within this site.

There is certainly a lot of information available but unfortunately it is spread across hundreds of different sites. However, I was lucky enough to discover The Creative Business Owner website and in this one place I discovered everything I will ever need. Best of all they also include a lot of information as short but extremely informational screencasts - my preferred method of learning"
