this is all information that i can get on you tube. i was expecting more hands on details and files i can use.

Really good beginner course, and the teacher provided good examples showing him tweak things as he went. There is a fair amount of time spent in other applications like Illustrator, but it doesn't distract from the subject at hand.

Tony is a very good teacher, he is patient, explains very well and he knows what he is doing. I was impressed with his knowledge and the "customer" support he gives to his student.

Great introduction and gateway to Adober Aero! Now I'm comfortable enough to explore more on my own and build my own Aero projects. Hoping there is a more advanced course offered soon.

Super helpful course! Just enough detail to give me a clear understanding of what Aero is actually used for and a basic workflow to follow to get started. Thanks Mr. Lockhart

Love how through this all is! Promising program and quality explanations.
By Anthony Thompson on 12/13/2023
Liked I learned how to make AR designs using my own custom work, most aero tutorials and courses just used the adobe asset library.
