Great comprehensive refresher course from someone who has been using Photoshop almost everyday for the past 25+ years. Helped fill in some gaps in my skills!

Being part of the Pro Membership has become a very important chapter in my creative journey for several reasons. This is my first creative community and it has given me the opportunity to share and receive opinions, experiences and insights.
One of the biggest advantages is having a seasoned instructor who shares his thoughts and experience of the industry, oversees my projects and provides constructive feedback helping me improve my skills. Last, but not least, I have also learned a lot from the feedback provided to the other members. I love to analyse their work and compare my conclusions to Martin’s and for me this is a very enjoyable way of learning.
I think the courses on the platform are some of the best available at the moment as they offer great in-depth knowledge of the Creative Cloud programs and graphic design theory, yet they are easy to understand and follow thanks to the fun examples and projects which go along with them.

This is my first online learning experience with interactive elements. Over the past five years I have attended two different offline design courses, and despite the fact that I was physically more present on lessons, in terms of quantity and intensity I got much more from Yes I'm a Designer. I received more constructive feedback on my work, and produced more designs that I can use in my portfolio.

Becoming a Pro Member meant that I got a 360° creative safe seat in the design world and it provided me the freedom to find my specific niche from the plethora of different subject areas, such as packaging design and illustration. The Live Webinars and the Community has given me the important feedback and sense of security I need to improve my technical or theoretical skils in order to step out of my comfort zone and create good work. For me personally, this is a very important factor in online learning. Being able to have Martin as a highly ambitious and certified teacher is fantastic. As a mother of two, I am learning at my own pace to realize my dreams a little further each day, while working from home.

Watching Yes I'm a Designer on YouTube helped me to become a graphic designer, but it was only when I joined as a Pro Member that I really saw BIG results. The practice briefs gave me motivation to put what I learnt into practice. The feedback given by Martin and fellow students also helped me improve so much quicker than what I would have done if I was on my own. I'm now picking up regular work and setting up my new graphic design business in the new year. Thanks Martin and the rest of the YES team!

The courses on Yes I'm a Designer helped a lot to prepare for the Adobe Certified Professional exam. There were 13 theoretical questions about the icons, interface, few definitions, followed by 17 practical tasks for example: select the red area of a flower or change the copyright status of an image or edit the typo as they wished, flip a logo on a document horizontal, etc.
Overall I found it fairly easy to pass on my first attempt and I am already preparing for the Illustrator and InDesign Professional exams.

I highly recommend you guys should take the course or training at this institution. All the courses and sessions are really easy to follow and understand. Martin is one of the best teacher and he has a great method of teaching for starters to advanced students. The course/training included the amazing materials/assets to do the exercise and practice during learning. All is really amazing.

I had been using the "yes, IAD" on youtube to slowly learn what I needed to know on youtube, after a while, it just made sense to join the group. Once I had, my learning skyrocketed and I now have my certification test for illustrator booked and feel extremely confident about receiving my certification. I will stay a member to complete my career training.

When I started these courses 5 months ago, I had no experience in graphics but thanks to Martin’s lessons and his advice, I've really learnt a lot. Each course is well organised and clearly explained and this has definitely given me confidence of developing the skills I needed. Besides, I love the fact that he dedicates his time to review our works and gives a lot of precious insights. I'm really happy to be part of this group.
