Personalmente ho trovato il corso molto interessante e ben fatto! Utile a tutti coloro a cui interessa il settore; penso sia un ottimo punto di partenza per capire se fa per te o meno. Il corso fornisce le capacità per approfondire gli studi anche autonomamente; oltre a dare template e reference vari, ti guida, dall'inizio alla fine, alla composizione di una partecipazione. L'insegnante è molto brava!
L'ho adorato!

Personally, I was a little disappointed because I'd have liked more examples of what constitutes a good wedding invitation suite. Some parts are similar to Menta's stationery design course (which goes way deeper with explanations) so it was kind of a repetition for me.
Overall it's a good course that I recommend for beginners, the teacher gives useful information and her explanations are quite clear. However, the English subtitles need to be revised because they are often badly translated.
