    I really enjoyed the course. Dan is super enthusiastic about what he teaches and it’s really fun to follow along his instructions. I’ve learned a lot about using Adobe Illustrator properly. So far I’ve always found my way to a kind of satisfactory outcome using only the couple of tools I’ve known how to use. And now I really understand what all these sometimes weird looking symbols can do. It’s awesome how much my graphic work using Adobe Illustrator has improved by going through this course. I’ll definitely come back to watching these videos again from time to time, just to make sure, I don’t forget all the stuff, I’ve learned now. And I am definitely looking forward to attend one of Dan’s other courses. Awesome job, thank you so much.
