I am not a beginner, but it was nice to see Tamari's workflow. It was well organised and can teach you/remind you of the good practices in logo design. I came back to an old logo I had in my drafts and polished it a bit with Tamari's Illustrator techniques - I am pleased with the results.

I have been following Tamari for some time and always wanted to learn how she makes those spectacularly beautiful curves in logos. I would recommend the course to anyone looking to bulletproof their logo fundamentals.
It is a must see! Thanks Tamari!

Un muy buen curso. Una característica importante de este curso es la lección sobre los diferentes estilos en los que simplifica los diseños, pues ayuda a comprender de mejor manera un panorama que puede resultar complejo, pero lo aborda de una manera muy sencilla y detallada con ejemplos visuales.
