Very well designed course and very informative. This will need a lot of practice yet, but now I have a reference point and I have some basic knowledge of what the photoshop can do. I am looking forward to start with some simple project to master the tools. Thanks Martin!

I am pursuing 'Illustrator Masterclass' course these days. I am half way through and I have gained good enough confidence to apply for the job of illustrator (Though I am an animator by profession). This program earns my highest level of recommendation. Martin is an amazing teacher. Happy to be a part of Yes I am a designer. Cheers. Dilpreet Singh.

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 actually took Martin's InDesign Masterclass course several years ago when I started working in communications, and I came out of it with the ability to be extremely efficient with one of my recurring tasks (monthly PDF newsletter). When the opportunity for professional development came up at work this year, I decided to go back to Martin's courses after having tried to up-skill other Adobe software using our company's Pluralsight subscription and not being too happy with the results. I was so glad to find out that Yes I'm a Designer now offers Premiere Pro and After Effects courses along with Illustrator and Photoshop, which made the monthly subscription a better sell for me at work (when I took InDesign, I only signed up for that course instead of going with the subscription, since there were much fewer courses back in the day). I just finished the Illustrator Masterclass and am working my way through Photoshop, and I can recommend the Masterclasses even for people who already use the software regularly but were initially self taught, so perhaps didn't know all the tips and tricks that can end up saving a ton of time on a project and make the tasks more fun. Obviously, if you're a beginner (like I was with InDesign back in the day), these courses are also perfect.

I have been working on the Indesign and Illustrator courses and they are excellent. They are very complete and the level of detail of the courses is great for anyone trying to get a handle on Adobe products. The examples and the student exercises help me understand the concepts. I have gone to one webinar and felt that Martin is knowledgeable and makes a real connection with the repeating students that submit work for him to review and mentor them.

This was such a clear and well paced course. I appreciated that the instructor would always say the shortcuts he used as a reminder of what was learned in previous lessons. It definitely helped me remember and I’m excited to start using the program instead of feeling intimidated by it.

Yes I'm a Designer is one of the most recommendable courses I have ever seen. I am becoming a professional graphic designer after following all the master class courses here and completing other supportive courses. I enjoyed a lot while studying. What an amazing lecturer he is. I feel that Martin transformed me to a totally new profession through his course series and the continuous guides updating our knowledge upfront. I will be a pro-member for lifetime in YES I'M A DESIGNER in my future journey. Cheers..!!!!

A well-constructed set of information with highly engaging examples and excellent practice material at hand to reinforce the presented learning material. Very clear and a great talking speed with excellent clarity. Well done Martin. Looking forward to your other material with great confidence and enthusiasm.

I know I'm only in week 1. But I have done more with photoshop this week than ever done previously. And I never thought I would grasp the essentials of indesign and illustrator as quickly as I have (because I have never used them before). Martin is a fabulous instructor. I was wary about taking the 'design' step. I am so glad I have - after this week I am A LOT more confident of smashing this. Amazing Martin - thank you!

YES I’m a Designer masterclasses are really the way to go if you want to follow the career of an upcoming graphic designer. Knowledgeable, trained staff and kind humans are always there to help you the best they can, and provide to-the-point advice. The community they’ve built is also a great place to share your work and grow your skills by receiving and giving constructive feedback. I’m happy as I watch my portfolio becoming stronger week by week!

The membership thus far has been truly rewarding. From zero experience using Illustrator to ~50% of the way through the Masterclass, my ability in the work I’m able to produce is reflective of a very well-structured program. The instructions are clear, concise, and demonstrate Martin’s expertise as he makes such a complex set of applications easy to learn.

I just recently started training and am very happy. The material is presented clearly, without haste and in great detail. Now I'm watching the Illustrator on iPad course, a lot of things have become clear. The course is accompanied by exercises, it helps a lot.

Great course! Explains even the smallest of steps that a lot of normal youtubers miss. As well as teaching the long way and short cuts for the same task that way if you forget one method you can do it the other. Highly recommend
