PlusIenjoy the research and reference part about trees, which helped me a lot. However, I find the section on making notebooks a bit difficult to understand and appreciate; it left me somewhat confused.

Me gustó mucho el curso, esa sencillez y minimalismo ayudó a quienes no sabemos tanto de diseño pero que nos apasiona. La creatividad está en todos, en muchos y diversos campos y puede ser aplicada desde cualquier oficio y profesión.
Gracias :)
