Choose quality in learning
so you can show quality in your work!
Your Choices > |  (or other reputable instructors) | A classroom training near you | Cheap online marketplace courses | Free YouTube & Google tutorials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Value & Experience (for students just starting out) | Great Beginner program, A-Z MasterClasses, student community | More personal experience, with higher accountability, but you can't go at your own pace | Some really good instructors, but there is an overwhelming selection and no guidance whatsoever | No curation, learning good things in the wrong time may hurt your progress and motivation |
Value & Experience (for more advanced students) | Pro community, advanced webinars, creative projects | Much fewer advanced trainings, high chance of no added value | No real progression here just an endless library of promising course titles | If you find a good channel and already have solid grounds you may find great inspiration |
Total cost in a Year | You can tie your fee to your XP level paying month-to-month $ - $$ | Live, classroom-based training is the most expensive option by far $$$ - $$$$ | Marketplaces are cheap but there is little quality control $ | Nothing is really free, you pay in time of searching pieces of info |
Depth of knowledge you gain (beyond how-to skills) | Insider tips, design principles covered in great detail, by a highly accomplished designer and veteran instructor | Progress at the pace of the group, little time to cover more than how-to-do skills, | Anyone can upload a course on any subject, there are some really good teachers, but most keep their prime content to their own site | There is so much content it is hard to tell, you need to know exactly what you are looking for to find the gems |
Finding exactly what you need | Some niche application or exotic subjects are not covered, but all that a graphic- or motion designer needs | There is far less variety and levels, depending on where you live there might be none | These marketplaces have a huge library favor courses you might find exotic subjects also but it's not easy to spot bad quality | The opposite, you will be shown a great lot of distractions and click-baits that you don't need |
Getting help when you are stuck | Great engaged student community, fast email support | Live help during the training with some follow up, but you can't hold the class for long | Usually at this price there is little help in short answers if any at all | The search algorithm is your best bet, in smaller channels you may get short answers |
Career advancement | Insider tips, career advice, portfolio friendly project briefs and exercises, student collaborations | For working in-house, sometimes the certificate from a reputable training center is enough For freelancing there is little help | You might find tips or content on the subject in general, but beyond that you are on your own | No credibility of a formal training, no curation or expiry date on content, very high risk of finding bad advice that take you off track |

If I have found this course before I wouldn't have signed up for a 1 year Diploma within a well recognized design school in New Zealand. I'm learning sooooo much more from Yes, I'm a Designer. The course is dynamic, super well structure and Martin is an amazing teacher. Have nothing bad to say about it. So many examples to learn from, I'm super happy and excited that I'm doing this course and feel that in such little time I'm already so much better than when I started.

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.

Martin and his team do all the heavy lifting for you - they provide tutorials, projects, recommend design resources, and give constructive feedback, so you can focus on actually making great work, and not on endlessly searching the web for the right information. Everything you need to know about being a designer is all under one roof. Clear, concise, and professional tutorials, along with substantive, friendly feedback on student work, makes Yes I’m A Designer the best resource for those who want to be a graphic designer, imo.

I haven't changed my mind on the course since I first started. Although not a PS veteran, I was already familiar with the program, but there was so much that I didn't know, or better ways to do what I was already doing. Martin is a great teacher who's injected a lot of personality, thought and care into these course. Very easy to follow and I highly recommend this course as well as all the others!

I have watched numerous Photoshop tutorials in the past to improve my skills. I am so glad I found this course, I just wish I had have found it sooner instead of wasting my time with Youtube tutorials. Martins teaching style is fantastic and he explains things in such a clear and concise way. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn how to use photoshop. Honestly don't waste your time with Youtube tutorials just sign up to this course it really is worth it.

Martin’s courses were comprehensive, easy to follow, and very helpful as I introduced myself to the Adobe suite. I appreciate everything he has created on this site. I completed the Adobe Illustrator master course in it’s entirety and plan on continuing with his InDesign courses.

Hello (Ciao !) I have taken many online courses from Udemy to Domestika from Lynda to Plurasight but I find your courses to be the first. Everything is explained in a simple way. Martin is great ! and his voice guides the student in an excellent way; the voice of the teacher in online course is very important as well as the examples provided during the lesson. Everything is really well done!

I really appreciate the courses even though I’m a studied Graphic Designer myself for several years now. I thought I’m pretty good at the Adobe programs, but Martins skills are on another level! 😀 He seems to know just everything about the programs and he’s very good at teaching and explaining them in a simple and clear way. Sometimes it’s just a little trick or detail I didn’t know about, which helped me to optimize my workflows. Especially in Illustrator, which I always thought to be a little bit too complicated to master it by myself. And … he just seems to be a very cool and down to earth guy. I have been in mail contact several times with him and another member of his team and it was always a very nice and friendly conversation. Once I had a question about some change in my account and they instantly took care about it. Really great customer support! So I can highly recommend to check out the courses, even if you’re already an experienced designer. You might be surprised! 🙂 Thank You Martin and Team YES! Benjamin

I Want to learn dominate Illustrator, and Later , At least, continue with Photoshop and InDesign.
I love that I can learn at my own pace and I have a flexible schedule. The course and subscriptions are not expensive. And Martin, you really explains it very well. I found your course, when I was looking for tutorials on youtube and I found a conference of yours and I can copy the Celtic cross without problems. Emails and certificate preparation are advantages. And I found other courses, (even in Spanish), but that little I saw, they didn't explain so clear that you make. Really I think the best it's your offers a whole.

Excellent course. Extremely well presented and easy to follow along with. Being my first experience with InDesign I wouldn't say that I have mastered all the topics covered, but it is a very good base and starting point. Thank you.
