David does a great job in showing us how to place an image in Illustrator and use the tools to design and create an image to our liking. It is a good length and to the point. I like that. I’m new to Illustrator so I will need to work on some of the steps to become comfortable with them but I was able to keep up with David through the course.

An extra win for me - I use Power Point a great deal and was also taking notes on David’s use of color on his lecture slides – very impactful.

Thanks David for offering this course.

I liked the course but was disappointed that the video was blurry so that as David was doing things on the screen it wasn't clear. I also felt he went very fast. I am a beginner and if I hadn't already done some of the Adobe free training I think I would have been totally lost. No replies to my questions :-(
