This is an excellent course. Each lesson is presented clearly. The instructor is knowledgable and inspirational. The "Create Your Project" recap at the end of the course is a great step by step reminder of the individual lessons. There's a lot of info to process, but so much fun.

This is a great course. I do a lot of collage but this gave me a lot of ideas, tips, and resources.
The only downside is that the English narration is really out of sync with the video but that didn't take away from the content.
