Horriblemente BUENÍSIMO es una fumada que me abrió los ojos para muchos tipos de papel y técnicas para crear mi tarjeta de presentación, pensé que venía a ver como hacer mi tarjeta no a como montar una empresa dedicada a tarjetas de presentación; siendo las más utilizadas desde la antigua china. Grande David Espinosa
Great course!
Muy buen curso, espero poder seguir mejorando en el diseño, porque se que es una profesion en la cual se tiene que estar mejorando constantemente
Muy consiso el curso, aunque habla solo de su región, mencionando el Offset como tipo de papel, aunque menciona que los tamaños de las tajetas varias de acuerdo a la región, hubiera estado cool saber en que region se usa cada tamaño, un dao muy importante es que no menciona el tamaño minimo de la tipografia.
David es un excelente diseñador, me encantó su perspectiva. Se lo nota muy apasionado, me gustó mucho que también trabajara en la inspiración. Este curso resolvió todas mis preguntas, y me encantó el valor agregado de contarnos el origen de la práctica de compartir tarjetas de visitas. Me sorprendió ver que incluso se adjuntaron recursos descargables. No solo me gustó y me sirvió, lo disfrute mucho. Le agradezco mucho el trabajo realizado para lograr este curso.
