An Eight-Year-Old Pays it Forward by Sharing What he Learned from Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning

Last week Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning instructor Deke McClelland shared the incredible story of eight-year-old Vandam Dezigner who wrote to share his obsession with learning. After watching Deke's videos for years, Vandam decided to emulate Deke's teaching style and create his own tutorial video based on one of Deke's Techniques.

Hello Mr. Deke,

I am Vandam Dezigner and I am eight years old. I have started taking courses with LYNDA since 2 years. I am obsessed with computer. I am your certified student at LYNDA. I enjoy your courses a lot. I also follow your website for the latest updates. I am working on this project now:

Deke’s Techniques 633: Designing an Intriguing Cube Logo in Illustrator.

I would like to introduce you to my YouTube channel:  Vandam Dezigner. Please watch and share this link:

Looking forward to hear back from you. Please comment and advise.

Best regards, Vandam

In the video below Vandam, the King of Adobe, teaches his younger sister how to create a poster and other assets for an upcoming kickboxing adjournment. I am impressed how he clearly has practiced these techniques and is able to effectively explain every step along the way.

Vandam, thank you for taking the time to create this wonderful video and I encourage you to continue sharing what you are learning with the rest of the world. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing your next video!

Finally, here is the tutorial that inspired Vandam to make his own video - Deke's Technique 633.
