I enjoyed Martin's teaching style but found the collaborative process between illustrator and designer enlightening.

Don't just take our word for it!

Check what our students have to say about learning from us:

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

Sabina

Very professional and didactically very well explained learning content. Even though English is not my native language, I can easily follow the exercises. I have been working with Adobe software for 20 years, but mostly with Photoshop. The courses on the other Adobe programs are an absolute enrichment for my further education.

Andreas

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.
