An easily accessible and easy-to-understand course on developing skills in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
I think this experience was a great introduction to UI/UX.
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.
The class was great and it set me up for success! All of my odd questions were answered.
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 :)
Amazing instructor, energetic and knowledgeable. The lectures were always interesting and the instructor made it understandable for everyone.
Whether you're interested in pursuing web design or are just simply curious to know what it's like, this class is a great choice.
The instructor was very helpful and supportive during these last few weeks. He always had every answer to my questions and seemed very passionate about his job. This made it easier and way more fun to learn web design.
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.
This was an awesome class, great for understanding the software and experimenting with design, and it's not too difficult to follow even though I'm a beginner.
This is my first summer camp course and I thought it was amazing. The instructor was amazing and made sure that we all understood when she was teaching. Christina.
This class was extremely helpful in my understanding of graphic design software. The teacher gave great instruction and was fun to learn from.
