Very good info delivered well
I highly recommend the course. it not only clearly explains the entire process of creating an infographic-based book, but also empowers beginner creators. It shows that you don’t need a big team or a huge budget—what truly matters is your idea and the message your book conveys. The course is highly informative, step-by-step, and intellectually inspiring, packed with valuable sources and examples.
compré este curso porque me interesa mucho crear contenido para mis estudiantes de forma creativa. Sin embargo, me encontré con algo muy didáctico y de mucho valor. Aún no lo termino, pero de lo que he visto me parece una excelente manera de comenzar.
Yo compré este curso pensando que solo iba a encontrar una guía en cuanto a diseño e ilustración, pero me pareció muy útil toda la información complementaria para publicar o vender el trabajo. Gracias.
O cursos é interessante mais sinto que faltou abordar como este conhecimento será facilitado para criança. Há muito texto e esperava encontrar mais ideias ilustradas sobre o assunto.
