El curso me encantó demasiado, lo único que podría sugerir es que el audio este disponible en diferentes idiomas, por ejemplo el español, ya que se me haría más fácil seguir el curso de está manera.
De ahí el curso es fantástico y bastante claro al momento de explicar.
Amazing! Best of the best course! So good work! Thank you
It was a great course. It was super helpful to understand the characteristics of the FUI elements, especially map visualization at high-quality levels and techniques to make your work stand out!
Awesome course!
