Es una buena formación, bien estructurada y que abarca tanto lo manual como lo digital. El profesor tiene una buena comunicación y explica claramente la técnica de lo que hay que hacer Por poner un pega, echo de menos son más trucos de lettering para poder aplicar, pero que tal vez no sea la idea del curso.

Muy interesante.

Argomenti interessanti, trattati però in modo poco utile a capire come procedere. L'insegnante spiega il suo metodo ma non insegna. Credo che anche la traduzione in italiano non sia un granché. Uno dei peggiori corsi che ho seguito su domestika.
