About Candice Anderson
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer just about anything for Photoshop. Before you ask me though, please google it. It's awesome to talk with you, but it's good practice to find the answers on your own. And while I will get back to you as fast as I can, google can find the answer in about 2.5 seconds! Please don't email me an Elements question if you have never used the program. (I don't use the program, but I can maneuver my way around for those who are looking for general answers).

Experience
VCU Adcenter I've been working in advertising and grahpic design since 04. I have a master's in Art Direction.
