This course really opened my eyes to Adobe Illustrator!

By Jamie faulkner

Doesn’t really go into detail

By Anisa Prohic

Amazing.

By Drake A

The course is very informative, dealing with Adobe illustrator functionalities and vector creation techniques.

Don't let the short time-span of 1 hour fool you. Michael does a great job at explaining the key points and yet keeping the course concise and quickly review able, giving you more time to practice the techniques.

You can sense a helpful, guiding vibe throughout the course through his narration. He also resolved a query of mine with a video example.

Much appreciated!

Looking forward to learning more from his courses!

Although the subject matter was great, the instructor also needs to be mindful of some of the technical aspects of video course production:

• Check spelling for a more professional outlook, as there were some mistakes like “Intrest” and “Corecting” (should be “Interest” and “Correcting”).

• Use a Head Microphone for more constant volume and to prevent voice distortion.

• Normalize the overall volume, especially with music and overdubs so that we don't have to constantly keep adjusting the volume knob on our end.

Its a bit hasty and not very explanatory

Man, it's so little courses. We can pay for 25 Turkish Lira and u publish 35 courses and 2 character designed. Maybe u can so much more character design this course. But still beautiful, have a good day!
