This is the third masterclass I did from YES I'm a Designer. I'm thrilled and can't wait for the next one. It's a graphic designer's paradise!

The teacher speaks very slowly and clearly, so I was able to understand everything even if I'm Italian. I followed the Photoshop and Illustrator courses and I can say they're well structured and teach you all the necessary things you need to start using these softwares in a professional way. I'm satisfied and suggest all graphics enthusiasts to enroll in Yes I'm a Designer courses.

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.

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 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

Yes I'm a Designer is a great platform that helps creatives grow and master graphic design skills in an effective way. I had the opportunity to take courses with Martin on Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign and I 100% recommend it! They have a great community and their feedback to help you improve your designs is valuable.

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.

YES are an amazing company that can help absolute novices or, as in my case, recent graduates. Having learned the basics of design, I was astonished about how much more there was to learn. YES give you so many projects and exercises to put what you learn into practice and the feedback is always helpful. You won’t be disappointed if you sign up.

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 took Ill and InD courses and was pleased with the presentation. It covered all of the new stuff as well as the old and really helped make me feel like I had a handle of everything. I used to go through the physical manual back in the day to get that same feeling of having covered everything.
