I find it really convenient that there is an ebook because if you miss something or want something to look back on, you can always refer to the lesson plan. I also like how the class content relates it back to purpose: why does this matter? How can you apply this to everyday life? How can you use this concept in other programs?

The instructor provided more information than what was listed in the textbook and created a friendly atmosphere that made us feel at ease to ask questions.

I learnt a lot and where I knew nothing before, I can now fluently use the Adobe tools.

I loved taking this class! It was the perfect amount of fun and challenge and helped me dive deeper into my interest in graphic design. The instructor was patient, kind, and supportive. I appreciated the help and feedback she gave to take my designing to the next level. I had so much fun and learned a lot. 10/10 would recommend :)

The quality of education that this course provides is no joke. The instructor is incredibly proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud and makes the massive amount of information thrown at you digestible. Building a portfolio is difficult to start; however, this course made it seem as easy as pie. Overall, I believe that this course was worth it, especially taking into account all that I was taught. I have built a dynamic portfolio that is on the professional level, and along the way, I gained the skills to make my very own designs.
