Program Coordinator - Digital Photography & Imaging

With over 15 years in visual communication Tony brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in new media design and production which will benefit students at Georgian. Having begun with still photography and audio-visual production, he adopted the computer as the tool of choice back in 1985 to create graphics, animation, user interfaces, photomontage for use in many applications, ranging from multi-projector slide shows, CD-ROM games, videos, web sites and print material.

Tony has worked for many clients in diverse locations and projects which has given him a comprehensive understanding of the production values expected in the new media industry. While mostly self taught, he has a B.A. from Mt. Allison University and certificates in Electronic and Film Media from the Banff Centre and New Media Project Management from the Bell Centre for Creative Communications (Centennial College) and other courses in specific areas such as animation and interface design. In addition to many freelance projects, he has been a partner in a multimedia production company as well as a graphics and interface designer for a software developer, both located in Toronto.

Tony's teaching experience goes back to 1980 where he taught photography for several years as a part-time instructor at Grant McEwan Community College and then at the University of Alberta. Happy to be teaching again, this time at Georgian and Tony really enjoys helping students learn what they need to know in using the "tools of the trade" in new media graphic design and production.
