About the Author
Lonzell Watson has been fascinated with technology ever since he disassembled his first Commodore 64 computer in grade school and attempted to put it back together. He went on to work a 100-mile paper route for an entire year just to buy his first Apple computer, and he has been writing about technology ever since. After paying his way through college by creating his first computer service and repair company named CompuClean, Lonzell went on to work as an IT consultant for clients including the J. Peterman Company, Time Warner Communications, and Verizon Wireless.
Lonzell is the award-winning author of Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPad, for which he won the 2010 International Award of Excellence from the Society for Technical Communication. This work also earned Lonzell the Distinguished Technical Communication award and Best of Show 2011 from the STC. Lonzell was also presented the Award of Excellence for Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPhoto ’09 in 2009. He is the author of other popular titles, including Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPad 2, Canon VIXIA HD Camcorder Digital Field Guide, Final Cut Pro 6 for Digital Video Editors Only, and Teach Yourself VISUALLY Digital Video.
Currently, Lonzell teaches Digital Asset Creation to graduate students at Bellevue University and is a freelance technical writer and instructional designer whose courseware has been used to train the CIA, FBI, NASA, and all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. He is a frequent contributor to Studiodaily.com. Lonzell’s writing has been syndicated, with hundreds of published tutorials and tips that help demystify consumer electronics and software. He holds a master’s degree in Instructional Design and Development and is the owner of Creative Intelligence LLC, an instructional design and technical writing company (creativeintel.com).
