This is a great course, the instructor's voice is clear and he presents this in a really interesting and informative way, so I feel like I'm really learning the basic principles of graphic design.

I love the way he is teaching with full details and examples. Really helpful for beginners and for the other whoever is switching from electronic to print or web.

By Reynir Eyjolfsson on

Good course but perhaps too much emphasis on the use of programs and too little on design proper.

By Stuart Campbell on

Great Course with lots of information, shortcuts, and helpful hints.

By Zahra Ali on

Excellent course. I really liked it !

By Ingrid Tayna de Oliveira Lima on

I'm really enjoying the course. It is easy to understand and the instructor is very good at teaching the subjects.

By Manuelinux67 on

Der Dozent erklrt ausfhrlich aber sehr langweilig. Manche graphische Entscheidungen von ihm entsprechen weder mein Wissen noch mein Geschmack. Ich glaube jedoch, dass der Kurs es wert ist, gefolgt zu werden. Zwischendurch gibt es immer wieder gute Informationen. Technisch scheint er auch wirklich eigenartig zu sein. Er diktiert lange url anstatt ein Blatt mit alle URLs als Material anzubieten. Sehr komisch

I really am enjoying this course, I fill very comformtable with the software so far. Love your approach to teaching, very lively....I hope down the line in the cousre I would get exercies for multiple projects to work on. Other than that, would definaetlly recommend this to anyone aspire to take this path. ON TO THE NEXT HALF!!!...COME ON!!!1Edit - 31/07/2019 Now that I am through with this course, I would like to say I enjoyed every part of it aside the InDesign audio was a bit off. I want to say thanks Jeff for taking time to put this together and I hope to find more detailed coursed from you. Can suggest you create another course as a follow up that focuses solely on projects and real life examples we can mock around with. ... Awesome Course 5 STARS!!!
