I am inspired by this course. I realized that I have finally found a tool that I have been looking for but never knew it exists. Thank you for the demonstrations. It has given me a lot of ideas. This course is eye-opening for me. Thank you!

PlusEl curso es muy bueno. Pero no puedo ver bien la pantalla, quizas sea un problema en mi ordenador, en los priemeros segundos se ve nitido y luego se ve distorcionado lo mismo que la voz de la profesora.

No es mi intención en ningún momento hacer una valoración o apreciación negativa sobre el curso, estoy seguro que a muchas personas les habrá gustado y sido útil, especialmente a creadores de contenido y diseñadores y es justamente en este punto donde para mi casi no ha sido útil, carece de adentramientos y uso propio de la plataforma, supongo que por el publico objetivo del mismo. Por demás sencillamente no fue el curso que esperaba o fuese útil para mi.
