Condensar algo tan extenso como lo es la creación de una identidad visual en un curso tan corto, es un reto. Y en este curso lo definitivamente lo supieron hacer. Para alguien que sea principiante y necesite conocer lo basico para empezar está más que bien, me habria gustado que profundizaran más en la interpretación del brief, pero en general el curso tiene un conocimiento muy enriquecedor.
