Nice, but very limited lessons
The presentation quality is good and presented at a nice pace. However, the six lessons here at this time are very basic and limited.
For example, I was a bit puzzled by the lesson on how to create a cardboard mug mock-up. There wasn't any lessons explaining what to do with it. I assume there's further lessons on applying graphic design to mugs, which aren't included here. I'd be nice to have more lessons included here. I'd love to see more.
I love them
Great!!!
