Creating an Illustrated Scrapbook
A course by Nuria Mel. , Designer and Illustrator
Design a scrapbook and learn how to use it as a creative reference for your illustration projects

In this course, learn how to use scrapbooking as a creative reference tool for your illustration projects, helping you develop stories and document the design process. With Nuria, start building your first illustration scrapbook step by step using a series of experimental cutting exercises.

Good introduction to techniques and tools of scrapbooking. The instructors is very thorough.
No me gustó!
Very inspiring course! I loved it!
Me ha gustado mucho el curso, no deja espacio a dudas cada explicación y creo que da un extra en todo lo que es y rodea el mundo del scraping.
Aún no lo he terminado porque a mí edad (66) tengo poca retención y tengo que repetir las lecciones, pero por lo que llevo me parece muy bueno y muy bien explicado. Aunque para alguien que ni termino la secundaria es difícil hacer uso de la tecnología, y a veces encuentro cosas que ni sabía que estaban en el curso! Entonces tengo que regresar al principio.
