Me encanta reconocer a través del curso como los pictogramas son una síntesis visual que puede transmitir conceptos más efectivamente, es comunicación visual pura. Además, me pareció excelente que agregaran algo de historia para contextualizarnos acerca del tema.

Es sencillo y práctico si no estás muy experimentado en illustrator tienes que buscar tutoriales aparte para algunas herramientas. Si estás muy puesto en el programa pues te va parecer muy escaso, pobre y muy básico. A mi como llevo poco tiempo me ha ser servido para tener una pequeña base.
