Martin and his team are incredible. I'm new to graphic design, and on this self-taught journey it feels key to have skilled, trustworthy teachers and mentors. I'm so grateful to have found this with Yes I'm A Designer. Martin and his team are so supportive while also being constructive in their feedback, and this has been invaluable for me. As well, their courses and tutorials are amazing - full of trustworthy approaches and techniques that I feel confident are the best habits for me to create. I cannot recommend them more highly for beginners or those more experienced alike. Thank you guys so much for everything you do!!!

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

I've taken courses from Lynda, Skillshare, etc., and know my way around the various Adobe products ok. However, I am really learning a ton from Martin. Even when I watch basic videos like "drawing" in Illustrator, I find myself saying "Oh! I did not know that!!" These courses are very well designed, and Martin is an excellent educator. Whether you are starting out or want to make sure that you are really getting everything you can out of Adobe products, this is a great place to do it. Yes, Martin has a lot of stuff on YouTube, but the information in the courses is structured and organized, so you can clearly progress and learn skills in an efficient manner.

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.

The Master Courses are awesome! The Teacher (Martin Perhiniak) is the professionalist, explains every detail calmly and clearly, with a lot of examples. It’s a real pleasure and fun to learn from you! Within the Standard membership I’ve received not only the Masterclass courses but also a bunch of Free welcome gifts (thank you Shumi :), exercise-files to fix the knowledge and just practice, and also quizzes - great way to test myself if I understood everything properly 🙂 I’m in the middle of the Illustrator Master Class 2021, I can’t wait to go further with other courses! 🙂 Thank you “Yes I’m a designer team”! I recommend your courses to everyone, not only beginners but also more advanced users to strengthen their designer’s skills and have a great fun with graphic programs. Wiewiorka_ojoj

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.

I purchased the Illustrator Master Class and am nearing the end of the course. I have really enjoyed Martin's clear and straight to the point explanations. I have tried other courses but never found them to be of this caliber. I would certainly recommend either Illustrator, or any of his other courses for that matter, to anyone looking to get up to date with Adobe applications. Sr. Sabina Tokyo

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.

All your courses that I’ve started thus far are very well thought through and taught. I walk away from each lesson feeling empowered with the news skills I’ve learned. You’re doing an excellent job at helping us/me learn and become better, smarter, and more polished designers. Thank you!

I was an animator with basic graphic design knowledge looking to start a career in graphic design. When I received my first Graphic Design job offer, I knew I had to brush up on the software in order to keep up with job demands. These courses taught me everything I needed to know in a clear, succinct manner and went beyond my expectations with its assignments and feedback. I love that courses and assignments are updated with new information, making me feel like I'm getting more than what I pay for. I owe my success to these courses and recommend anyone to try them out!

It was great starter course! I liked how it was short and sweet, straight to the point. Sometimes I find that online courses can have a lot of fluff just to make it longer to justify the price of the course. This was not like that at all. I will be taking more courses from Martin and the Yes I'm a Designer team.
