Me parece un curso genial para cualquiera que está empezando. Es una buena guía que va de menos a más, y el profesor genial. Lo único que me gustaría, es que fuese habido más información, aunque sea un poco superficial sobre el manejo de Illustrator para llevar a cabo el logo. De resto, me encantó :D

Corso fatto molto bene, mi è piaciuto molto come ha spiegato con precisione tutti i passaggi.
Un ringraziamento speciale per le risorse aggiuntive, tutte utilissime.
Unica pecca, mi sarebbe piaciuto che fosse spiegato in modo più approfondito il funzionamento di Adobe Illustrator, ma dato il costo il rapporto qualità prezzo del corso è fantastico!
Totalmente approvato, grazie
