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.
(5.00 out of 5) Saloni C [ 06 March, 2019 ]
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.
(5.00 out of 5) Melissa B [ 04 March, 2019 ]
I've thoroughly enjoyed this course and have learnt so much about Photoshop, Anne-Marie has been a wonderful teacher!
(5.00 out of 5) Lucas F [ 06 February, 2019 ]
The course was very informative and delivered in a fun and effective way. There isn't really anything that I could suggest adding as the amount that I've learnt has been immense, coming from a background with next to no experience in Photoshop, where hearing the word was quite daunting. Marte has provided me with a great understanding of the fundamentals and even some more intermediate skills.
