By Verity Graham
Very informative and clearly explained.
By Steve Rogers
Once again, David hits the subject on the head. You think you know going into this how to do t-shirts? think again. The course material will set you straight pretty quickly.
Once again, I was completely turned around and put in my place. want to do it right? buy this course.
By Guan Hin Kee
Having the relatively large photo of the lecturer on the screen throughout the entire lecture is distracting.
Also the pace was far too SLOW.
Far too basic and short. I completed the entire course in one sitting.
By Lynn Allen
Good information delivered at a good pace for complete beginner. I want to know more about designing with this software now and will look for the next step in learning.
