It's a great course, especially for beginners.
It's an excellent course, especially for beginners. All the tools and instruments are explained in detail, and there are many interesting examples that you can recreate or do according to your creativity. There are also great module challenges, and most importantly, you will receive 24/7 support and help from your tutor.

Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful.
Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful in just the first few lessons. There are so many little things that we are not taught in school that I am learning here. Dansky speaks very clearly and is incredibly knowledgeable making it easy to follow. I totally recommend for beginners especially, but to the experienced designer as well to learn more useful tips and tricks.

Dan is a gret teacher, I think he was born to teach.
Although having learned to work with Photoshop in my Graphic Design course, I've always preferred working with vectors. As so, I only used Photoshop for some simple tasks. I am a very exigent learner as I need to know why things work the way they do so that I can make better and wiser options when choosing the tools I need for each intended result. I also got very overwhelmed when needing to use lots of adjustment layers. Dan is a great teacher; I think he was born to teach. His calm and efficient way of doing things is quite contagious and helped me a lot. After this Photoshop course with Dan, I feel more confident and I will use Photoshop more and better.
