This course was just what I needed to get a strong fundamental understanding about design using the adobe suite! There were a lot of new shortcuts and best practices in photoshop, illustrator, and after effects that have helped me become more efficient with my designs. Some of the best practices have allowed me to create designs faster and with more efficiency!

And I am a huge OGRE sound fan! Cannot wait to see his course!

This course has helped me understand the fundamentals of Adobe's core design software. I have been using Photoshop for years, and this course still managed to teach me a few new tricks. It also helped streamline my workflow. The same goes for a lot of the best practices covered in illustrator and after effects. The instructor does a great job explaining why we should do certain things and the different ways to go about doing them. I don't know much about how to design the music or jingle, so I will be interested to see how the next part goes along with this course.

As a rather experienced photoshop user, mainly doing 2D designs this course has been great to re-learn and review a lot of the core fundamentals. I am trying to pick up more about design, and this is a great course to get started with, there are so many ways to design and approach something, and this course really has given me some great insight on the best practices to create a solid uniformed design. The illustrator and photoshop sections for me were the most valuable, and I was able to become a lot more efficient with my design creation after watching the instructor work, and listening to his explanations of how/why to do something. This was a great course, and I really am looking forward to the sound design portion of this course that is coming up next, I am not too familiar with OGRE sound's work, but I am a huge Synth fan, and love music like Stranger Things, so it will be really awesome to see someone of that caliber create musical pieces.

u have the information but you're not a very good teacher, I've learned but not really what I have expected.

This is the 2nd course I’ve completed from Class Creatives. I’ve always had an interest in Photoshop but have only been familiar with the most basic functions. Though I’ve made several attempts to learn more about Photoshop, I’ve struggled to become more adept at it. Thankfully, this course covered all the fundamentals and best practices very clearly. The way the instructor explains topics makes them just click for me. I’ve not done much at all with Illustrator, but the vector option discussed in the course is really something special that I am glad to have learned about. The After Effects section was very helpful in demonstrating what can be done later with the design.

This was another excellent course and I will certainly keep my eye out to see what’s next from Class Creatives.
