About the presenter:

Aleks Davidovich has been working in the imaging and printing world for the past 6 years and currently oversees the print on demand program at Imagekind. His experience spans the imaging and printmaking gamut including both the fine art giclee printing world as well as the demonstrative color graphics world . As a former partner in a litigation support firm and frequent contributor to jury researh firms in the area of trial graphics and presentation technology, Aleks has had the opportunity to use digital media combined with print making to illustrate events in time and influence decisions and court rulings.

At Imagekind, his focus is now on building a program that is not only compelling to the fine art world but one that is also within reach of the consumer in search of extraordinary wall art. Utilizing his experiences in imaging process, software/hardware technology and color management, he has been able to build the framework from which all production flows through. This includes production equipment and printer selection, fine art media selection, color managed workflow development as well as ensuring that each and every print leaves that leaves Imagekind is of the highest quality.

Aleks was Imagekind's first employee and he is currently the General Manager of Operations. See Aleks in action here.

EBSQ Live! Procedures

You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname and select "login."

When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started. During Live! presentations please refrain from saying "Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!

As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has 10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.

Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However, you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations so sit back and soak in the information.

EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct

This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This is not debatable.


If you have an area of expertise and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
