Great course with easy pace and knowledgeable instructor. Helpful to have some experience with Photoshop (or other Adobe products) but not necessary.

The course will be very beneficial for my marketing job. I learned things that I didn't know were possible. Looking forward to doing the Indesign course next month.

It is a very good course, easy to learn even if fast tracked. I definitely feel less intimidated by the software and more in charge to use it efficiently for textile design with confidence in the future.
