This was a great purchase. I wanted to learn about game art but if you pay attention you can apply the lessons to graphic design in many different ways. I am happy I bought this course

Fantastic course well explained. It was great that the lectures were kept to around the 20 minute mark.

Puts a fun personality into the course. Everything is clear and useful so far.

I really enjoyed this title. It offers a new perspective to drawing in flash. Where I would draw something and not think of adding shading. The shading used here give the 2d images life and more depth. Justin shows you how to create simple shapes and transform them into jump off the screen 2d images. I also like having the completed art files to view and play with later. I recommend this for anyone wanting to create game art, or wanting to simply add life to their 2d graphics. Flash is a powerful tool and is my first option when creating art files.

Instructor seems very knowledgeable. He talks too fast, and doesn't explain what he's doing in the background with shortcut keys. It's a shame, because I'm spending 2 hours on an 18 minute video just going back trying to make sense of what he's doing.

I found this great course, easy to follow and reproduce some of the demo art. Great as i had never used flash before in this way.
