The Concept
This started with a simple idea – help people become top-notch designers. And, it helps to have someone understand how to break down the overwhelming amount of knowledge, code, and advice into bite sized pieces. Our eBooks are more then just a technical resource. The written material concentrates on the most important material and concepts. Rather then writing a hundred pages on the basic tools of a program, we show you all the important stuff in a few short video tutorials.
Our eBooks aren’t just a list of step-by-step tutorials; they clearly explain the building blocks of design and production, so you’ll can build whatever you wish.
Not your typical education
Our eBooks will help you learn and understand graphic design and print and web development using industry standard software. And with the insight and advice from working professionals via our blog, you’ll already be gaining a quality education on what it takes to be successful in this field.
As professionals in design and education, we’re totally committed to making our products and resources accessible, rewarding, and inspiring.
These eBooks are just like having a professional sitting next to me helping me learn all this new material. Thank you!

Who’s Behind all This?
Matthew Leach
Matthew found the reward of education as a freshmen at Michigan State University when he found himself teaching his classmates how simple computer programming could be after he himself was lost listening to the droning professor. Although the immediate reward he received was beer, he realized that he had techniques of helping this classmates that struggled by breaking down concepts and steps into digestible bites. Then working full-time in Chicago, Illinois as a graphical designer/ web developer he missed the passion he had while in school so he took the opportunity to teach Web Design and Development in Denver, Colorado.
With over a decade of teaching experience, Matthew often claimed that writing a book for him was similar to selling his soul. He felt that his refined teaching process and advice was best told in a classroom where we could connect with students on a personal level. But, luckily, after he began teaching online he came to realize the importance of creating educational materials that students online could connect with. With the creation of Wynn Press, Matthew plans to help bring his passion to others while working with like-minded designers and educators.
