I really like the Illustrator course. It covers every topic in just enough detail, it is easy to follow and find chapters you may need a little refresher on. Also, it is easy to come back to it if you took a longer break. Well done, thanks!

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

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 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.

The Yes I’m a designer team are hands on, very professional, talented and down to earth individuals. I have already completed quite a few courses of theirs through udemy and skillshare. I have now gained enough confidence so I’ve enrolled as a student and already can see how I’m about to have a great journey as a Yes Pro Student. I already feel that the monthly fee will be worth every single penny. The Facebook group is friendly and full of talent and the webinars are great to watch. Looking forward to being more involved soon.

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.

When I started these courses 5 months ago, I had no experience in graphics but thanks to Martin’s lessons and his advice, I've really learnt a lot. Each course is well organised and clearly explained and this has definitely given me confidence of developing the skills I needed. Besides, I love the fact that he dedicates his time to review our works and gives a lot of precious insights. I'm really happy to be part of this group.

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 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!

Finally a comprehensive tutorial of how to navigate Ai! I have designed with many programs but never needed to understand and use Vector graphics until recently. As a newbie I have been struggling with learning and creating in these design spaces! I am still slowly getting through these courses... but wow, what a difference it is making so far. I am actually learning !
