I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I'm very pleased I came across this.
It had everything a beginner needs from Adobe Ai to get started.
I also think that Mr Paterson laid the ground work for exactly the job I have in hand.
Plus it wasn’t overwhelming. A Very well structured presentation and easy to follow. Cheers.

It was a quite "plain" course and didn't mix Logos that contained both elements (artworks) and text. The Logos made as examples felt dull and uninteresting. I'm a beginner in Illustrator but would have wanted to learn to make a more appealing design. Also missed a part to explain the rules of a successful logo when it comes to layout, coloring and elements to create a Logo that "works"/get noticed/impress the viewer. But thank you for the basics of the program.
