It doesn’t matter how the idea comes to life, I can’t ignore them. So that I don’t lose the idea forever, I’ve devised what I consider to be an effective way to keep the material straight in my poor

Keith D Young, teacher and founder of
The Creation Station
Keith D. Young is the creator and founder of the Creation
Station Computer Graphics Learning Center. Mr. Young has been working in the
field of Graphic Design and Publishing for over a 15 years. Tired of seeing
how mass media has such a negative influence on his community by
propagating negative stereotypes and promoting unwise, reckless
and impulsive consumerism, he decided to start a program that teaches artistic
and entrepreneurial minded community members how to make constructive use of
mass media opportunities.
The Creation Station is about learning to create and manipulate
digital media for pleasure and profit. There are so many things that can be
created if one knows how; books, comics, fashion design, cartoons, video and
movie productions, 3d design and animation, and so much more. The
goal is to expose those who might not otherwise be afforded the
opportunity, to the broad range of possibilities and opportunities that Computer
Generated Imagery, (CGI) presents.
Keith D. Young is a lifelong resident of Detroit. He is a former
Detroit Police Officer and is a graduate of Cass Technical High School and is
currently pursuing a degree at the University of Michigan. Mr. Young is an Adobe
Certified Expert (ACE) for Photoshop CS3 and an Adobe Certified
Instructor (ACI) for the same, as well as being a Comptia
Certified Technical Trainer (CTT).
Keith has been a part of the success of several Publishing,
Marketing and Ad Firms. Keith was the owner/operator of II Adam Publishing, and
Studio 7 Graphic Design, and has worked for Aquent Partners, Smith Winchester,
Marketing and Management Services, SMZ Ad Agency, Valasis
Communications and Ross Roy to name a few. Keith currently owns
and operates Serious Business Graphics a Detroit based graphic design firm that
provides graphics, web design and multimedia services to small business
owners and entrepreneurs.
In February 2009 The Creation Station CGLC Multimedia Design
Course for Youth was launched in coooperation with Vanguard CDC and Adobe Youth
Voices. The purpose of the program was to teach youth to create various
multimedia such as magazine covers, animations, web pages
and digital video at no cost to the students. Over 150 students
were serviced over the course of 5 months, with many more attempting to sign up.
Keith is currently teaching graphic design to the youth in the
NorthEnd area of Detroit, and computer basics to seniors. Courses for self
publishers and authors will be offered in late July and August to teach aspiring
publishers how to create books and magazines from start to finish.
In addition to the continued operation of his graphic arts firm,
Keith plans to continue to offer innovative multimedia, web design and
publishing courses to youth, adults and seniors in the greater Detroit area.
