Sara Froehlich is an About Graphics Software contributing writer for Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW.

Sara Froehlich: Sara's start in computers got off to a rocky start in the mid 1980's when the principal of the parochial school where she was the Librarian decided the card catalog needed to be put online. Armed with the latest and greatest, an Apple IIe, she blundered through creating an online card catalog for the students and then discovered something wonderful: computers could make pictures.

They weren't perfect, being composed of tiny dots, and if you wanted them in color that meant magic markers (school budgets, well, you know), but it sparked an interest in computers and computer graphics that has continued to grow and expand far beyond what she ever could have imagined at the time.

Over the years, she became more and more interested in different programs and not only wanted to use them, but to learn them inside and out. That has lead to a full time job working from her home office sharing her skills with others. It gives her a chance to share her favorite things: graphics software, writing, and people.

Currently she is teaching classes in Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia Dreamweaver at LVS Online and Adobe Photoshop Elements, ACD (formerly Deneba) Canvas, Adobe Acrobat, Corel Photo-Paint, and two Photoshop Pizzazz classes at Eclectic Academy. Information about all of Sara's classes and how to enroll can be found at http://www.northlite.net/classes.htm.
