It's always interesting to watch how a professional works :)
Even from such a small course I learned something new. It's especially interesting how an idea and composition are searched for. I would watch a separate course on the topic of composition and search for ideas :)
Thank you

PlusI've been interested in taking the masterclass with Louis at Awwwards for some time now, but unfortunately it's not feasible here in Brazil where the price is 6x higher.
That's why I was happy with this more affordable alternative course. And it's an excellent course! I hope Louis can come back with more content soon.
