Course Reviews
John was very engaging to listen to and a great teacher of such a complex topic. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, and will go back with valuable knowledge.
I was able to refresh my Photoshop skills, and update legacy work patterns. Touching on html/responsive interface design made we want to continue further studies.
John was such a lovely tutor. He moved at a great pace through all the material and catered for everyone's level of understanding.
Great course, John was fantastic. Amazing knowledge, very personable. I would take another course in a shot! Challenging but rewarding. Thank you!
