‘From Concept to Composite: Building High-Impact Visuals in Photoshop’ featuring Michael Mondragon | @lawebprosgroup Online Event: Tuesday, March 17, 2026 • 6:00 PM PST Great design rarely starts with perfect assets. In this practical, demonstration-driven session, you’ll learn how to transform ordinary images into polished, professional visuals using real-world compositing techniques in Photoshop. We’ll explore non-destructive workflows, precise masking, blend modes that actually matter, color grading for cohesion, and depth-building strategies that elevate your work beyond basic edits. You’ll also see how Generative AI can accelerate concept development and enhance environments without sacrificing control or craftsmanship. Whether you’re creating visuals for the web, print, or marketing campaigns, this session will give you practical techniques you can apply immediately to produce stronger, more compelling imagery.

@Super70sSports Please don’t judge me. I saw it at a drive-in in 1976 in Phoenix, Arizona, and I was six… but if I could drive, I would have floored it out of there.

What’s the worst movie you ever saw?

@MrAzSports As a multi-decade fan of sports, I will NEVER understand the how arrogantly dropping the ball before the goal line is a thought. It's literally extra effort (mentally and physically) to do that. And gave a winless team an eventual victory.

Unbelievable.. an incredible run wiped out because Emari Demercado fumbles / lets go of the ball before he’s in the end zone. This should never happen. Heartbreaking.
