Muy buen curso! Entiendo que para gente que tiene experiencia en el área, este curso le resulta insuficiente, pero si eres novato como yo, y no tienes idea de cómo enviar a imprimir un trabajo tuyo, lo recomiendo plenamente.
Me resultó excelente para comprender el mundo de la impresión, y cómo pensar mi trabajo teniendo en cuenta el medio en el que se va a imprimir. Estaba muy acostumbrado a pensar sólo en medios digitales como resultado final de mi labor, ahora tengo una base para lo impreso.

PlusTłumaczenie tego kursu na polski to jakaś masakra - sprzedawanie go jako dostępnego po polsku to po prostu przegięcie. Sam kurs to osobny temat - natomiast jego automatyczne tłumaczenie generuje tylko frustrację
