A pesar de ser un curso corto, el profesor fue muy claro explicando los puntos para realizar un branding minimalista. Es muy interesante poder aprender de otros profesionales, más si son de otras partes del mundo, ya que ayuda a ampliar aún más como otras culturas reflejan sus marcas.. Saludos cordiales.
Me pareció interesante, conocer su proceso y ver como ha conceptualizado algunas de las marcas más importantes de México
