I remember a long, long while back when Squall took on an apprentice. Why not like Squall, all the staff members, pick or raffle one member they want to teach to do what they do best. You could spread some knowledge, or helpful hints for coding or designing. Whatever it is that you do.

I'd like to do that. Perhaps I'd be able to help someone learn PSP?

It's a nice idea. Thanks Nick for putting yourself forward I'm not sure others have time, but we'll see. If you really want to help then there are the various support boards here you can help out in in the meantime.

I know I'm not staff but I would gladly take on a photoshop apprentice. Another good idea is two people that use the same program but that do different mediums so they can learn off each other. Just a thought.

It would be a good idea, if people were to have the time. Depending on when Soccer Season ends and if I make Basketball, I was already planning to have a Terragen Apprentice come October, so I'll join in as well.

As some of you know I did teach Xephra a lot.
I suppose I could take on an apprentice and teach them JS and PHP.

I think that we could offer some classes, for those who want to learn what we do. For example, if someone wanted to learn a bit of photomanip, they could go to UC. If someone wanted to try vector, they could go to Ollie. AND, along with having staff as teachers, we could possibly let someone the active and experienced members teach, if we feel that they are good enough (for example, Jonny could help with Photography).

Don't volunteer any staff members without their consent. Trust me, many of the staff members are already swamped with work to do and school. Don't get them unwillingly involved in something they don't have the time to manage. Also, how can you teach photomanip? Eh, coming from Car from a chat we had some time ago, that's one style of art that really cannot be taught. Sure you can teach how to blend and what not, but that spells the limit just about.

I was not volunteering anyone, I was just using them as examples. Maybe I should have been more clear in my description. With photomanip, sure it can be taught. But of course, only to an extent. You can give tips on blending, stock choices, etc.

If people want to take on somebody then they are more than welcome to, however it won't be a fully established thing as the traditional method of asking questions is probably better than being guided through the whole thing.
I personally am not able to give up any time to help with this, if you as moderators or members want to do it then it's fine. So long as it doesn't become the only method of support people give.

Well, if anyone likes the idea, just send me a pm. And i'll add to the top of the thread, along with what your teaching.

I think it's a great idea...I probably wouldn't make much of an apprentice nor be very good at taking one on though. Just don't have the time or the knowledge to be either. Nice Idea though.

Teaching someone how to manipulate an image is like teaching someone how to paint. You can show them how to put the paint on their brush, but if you explain how to paint "Starry Night", you are just teaching them to copy.
Just a personal opinion, really.
I like the idea though, it sounds friendly... but it would be a bit hard as most of the people who are looked up to are the ones that don't have as much time? Excuse the generalization.

Anyone should volunteer. But i'm not about to go post the names if they don't want too. And it doesn't have to be photomanipulation or even something in PS or PSP. It could be anything, that is valuable to the SSD community. Such as valuable member tips, and how to post usefully. Anything really. Pm me if you want in and I'll post your name in the topic. The first person to claim who he/she wants to teach them something, is the first person who should be taught.

That a joke or you actually want to? Just making sure I wouldn't mind being taught some of the basics of either. I don't know much about coding or scripts in general...
