A rudimentary course that is valuable if you are familiar with design software. You will not receive instruction on the software, nor will you gain any in-depth knowledge about the subject. The material serves as a decent primer that might help you decide whether or not you would like to continue an exploration into packaging design. I recommend as long as this is all you are looking for out of this course.

El curso esta bien, faltó un poco más de profundización en la elaboración del packaging como por ejemplo materiales a usar, pero aprendí temas y conceptos que eran nuevos para mí.
¡Muchas gracias!
