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

Though Davar provides a decent amount of insight on his work and walks one through his ideation process for 2 projects and overall idea of his brainstorming process, he falls short on the course project. There's not a walkthrough process on his photo manipulation other than vaguely saying that contrast & color filters were added to the photos, nothing else. Even if the tweaks made could be seen as "basic" or "something everyone knows" there's always something to learn, even if it's a basic tool.
