TechnoLawyer: Graphic Design/Photography/Video

Photoshop guru and TechnoLawyer member Jan Kabili, Esq. has published her seventh book through Peachpit Press, How to Wow: Photoshop for the Web. You can obtain an audio version of Jan's new book from Software Cinema.

A graduate of Stanford Law School, Jan practiced law for 15 years. Her legal background includes stints practicing at the Federal Trade Commission and Elscint, Inc. in Israel; she also worked on Superfund litigation for a law firm in Denver. She is a member of the California bar, Colorado bar, and Israel bar ("I passed the bar in Hebrew!").

Notwithstanding these accomplishments, practicing law eventually took the backseat to Jan's interest in graphic design. As a result, she returned to school to obtain a Master of Fine Arts degree in Electronic Media. In addition to her seven books, Jan keeps herself busy teaching Photoshop at conferences and universities, and beta testing software for Adobe. Also, she recently completed a series of online movies about Photoshop Elements available at Lynda.com.
