Repasa referentes muy importantes, ayuda en la planificación de la publicación y en el trabajo con el software, es muy concreto con los ejercicios. Es motivador para realizar el proyecto final de cada estudiante. Me sirvió mucho para repasar y aprender cosas nuevas. Recomendable para todo diseñador o comunicador.
