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. 

Ephraim Shapiro| Israel

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.

Nicole Heinrich| Germany

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.

Graham Goater| England

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!

Dániel Földes | Hungary

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.

This course was life changing to say the least. Being a complete beginner to Photoshop, this course took me right from the basics to the more advanced photo editing techniques. The teacher is absolutely amazing and the lessons are well designed and detailed. Thanks to this course, I was considered for the marketing job I always wanted and I also offer freelance services to others now. It's definitely the best photoshop course out there and it's surely better than learning bits and pieces from different youtube tutorials which never really get you anywhere. If you are serious about photoshop and want to learn it inside out, I highly recommend this course.

Aman Chopra

I've completed 2 Martin's big courses this year - Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop Masterclass and I really enjoyed them. I've learned many new things and got excellent explanations on how certain things work. I would recommend to anyone interested in the design to check out I'm a Designer website and find suitable courses for them. Thank you Martin

Juri No987

I have been using I am a designer course for nearly a month and so far I can say that It is one of the best decision I have taken in the last months. After long thinking how to better my skills in photoshop and InDesign as well as Illustrator, and visiting a lot of online academy, I enrolled in this course, Yes Im a designer and very happy with my choice. The explanations are very clear and up to any level. Lots of example are provide as well as the quiz to rapidly assess yourself. Also, I love the idea of the assignment and getting a real feedback. I do believe that this last point will help me to take the right design decisions.
