What
Others Have Said About This Illustrator Advanced Training Class
Over the past two
weeks, I took both Advanced InDesign and Advanced Illustrator with this
instructor. I was already familiar with each program, but learned many new tips
and tricks that I know will be valuable in my day to day work as a Graphic
Designer. These courses were extremely helpful and I hope to take more in the
future! - Rebecca O. NSA
