Course Reviews
Great course but not enough advanced topics selected for someone already working in the graphic design industry.
Marte was an excellent teacher who provided her time and effort to teach us the ropes of Photoshop. I have learnt several new techniques and whenever I had a question, Marte was more than happy to answer them. I would definitely recommend this course to others.
Clean concise course that will get any novice up to scratch with Photoshop. Wide range of topic areas that are covered and a lot of detail provided. Would recommend it again to anyone looking to increase their skill set.
Marte was absolutely amazing! I was enrolled into the course for work - I admittedly came into the course with very low expectations as I have had a couple of years experience with Photoshop however, I found the course to be very useful in making my processes more efficient and time-effective. I was already learning useful things less than 15 minutes into the first lesson. Definitely a positive experience and an amazing & passionate tutor!
