No esperes de este curso lo que puedes encontrar en cualquier tutorial en YouTube; este curso te habla de conceptos, estilos, esencia, no te enseña ni siquiera a usar un software y eso es maravilloso porque el profesor se centra en lo verdaderamente importante, EN DISEÑO, de hecho, el proyecto final es solo un pretexto para darte cuenta de que esa es una de las miles de posibilidades que puedes realizar, 100% recomendable. ¡De diseñador a diseñadores! GRACIAS
