Muy bueno el curso, me sirvió como introducción y para aprender un poco de composición en el lettering, después de eso, muy superficial en contenido.

El curso no está mal, pero el profesor se salta demasiadas cosas en el proceso. Hay lagunas, y el mayor aprendizaje se hace viendo y no imaginando cómo hizo el boceto, cómo hizo la composición, cómo vectorizó ciertas letras, etc. Me lo voy a pensar dos veces cuando quiera comprar un curso tan corto la próxima vez.
