Names You Can Trust – Deke McClelland
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011Deke is a verb.
If you have seen Deke McClelland work, you know of what I speak. If you want to watch good videos on Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator and you are up for a “strong cup of coffee” – go find Deke.
Here are a few places to start…

Strong cup of coffee?
On one of the Pixar movie DVD extras (The Incredibles, I think) there are interviews with people from Pixar about Brad Bird and what it was like when he came on board. One person described him like this: “He’s a strong cup of coffee. Of course, I like strong coffee” (with a little smile). The man is brilliant… and excitable… and intense. I’ve come to love that phrase.
One thing I’ve discovered is that there is a sliding scale of intensity for video trainers. Ok, for good video trainers. At one end is Terry White, at the other is the Deke Pod videos – Not Deke – just those videos. The others he does for Lynda.com are mellower. It seems totally appropriate to me that Deke would be on my rating scale twice.
Videos are not all he does though. Some of the best books in my office are his. It is impossible for me to get a book about a design package, like InDesign, that has a horrible, dull, or amateurish layout. it’s why I stopped buying the InDesign Bible series when they overhauled the design. You think I’m kidding? I’m not. How can you trust that the author knows good design if his or her book is a second-rate train wreck.
Deke’s work is clean, graphically beautiful, with lots of clear images and white space.
How can you not love the man? The pen tool as a sex ed lesson? Brilliant!
Where did she go?
Saturday, September 11th, 2010Photoshop Disasters always is worth a read. If you haven’t had a chance to see them, look at this gem…
It’s paired with the text “You’ll come for the beaches but stay for the woman cruelly chopped in half”
Deke love
Thursday, April 15th, 2010If you haven’t checked out Deke’s Photoshop Top 40, and you love Photoshop, go to Deke.com and search for “Top 40″ videos.

The latest “best damn photoshop video everâ€
Thursday, February 4th, 2010If you have not seen The Deke (yes, capitalization is required) in action I strongly urge you to get his “deke pod” podcasts or deke.com. member-only videos.
However, if you want to know what I’m talking about without a lot of effort go to YouTube and search for “deke lab mode”
You should find “Don’t fear the LAB mode”.
It’s awesome!
