El curso está muy bueno para entender cómo usar retículas en diseño de marcas. El profesor lo explica fácil y con ejemplos cómo darle balance y estructura a un logo. Súper útil si estás empezando o si queres mejorar la técnica! Supero ampliamente mis expectativas! Uno de los mejores cursos que he realizado, sin duda alguna.
