Very good for learning with no experience or for filling in the gaps from self teaching AfterEffects. Wish there were a little more complex concepts taught other than just moving shapes around on 2D space but you can only teach so much in a day. Got a little too quick towards the end when exporting projects and learning different compressions so it felt arbitrary to even explain. But overall good class and great teacher, perfect pace for learning from scratch and if you need to learn specifically how to make gifs and logos

Class was great. I learned a lot and left with a clear understanding of the material.

Second half of the class moved a little too quickly

The class started out well, but the instructor took things up a notch or two and I was lost at a certain point. I'm a beginner, but it seemed like the objective was to get through the whole book instead of making sure every one was up to speed.

Kalika was a fantastic instructor bringing patience and humor to every lesson. Thanks to her, I have a strong grasp on the topics covered, am confident in my skills and capability to delve further into the app. Kalika is the rare teacher who goes the extra mile for her students because she's happy to. One suggestion note is that there are a few lessons that start off with importing or setting up in more than one way for the sake of learning how different modes function. I think the class would benefit from taking time in between the demonstrations to practice that part before continuing into the bulk of the lesson - I found that I forgot what the take-away was from that initial portion of the lesson by the time the demonstration was over, and conducting that portion on my own created an interruption between the demonstration and going through the section on my own.

Perfect!! Well organized and very informative.

It was very informative, great for absolute beginners!

The class equips with everything that you need to know to make something as simple as a letter to a magazine spread. Our instructor, Michele, is clearly experienced in the field and offers personal tips with the program and is able to answer all questions thrown at her.

I wrote a rather full review online that day at the end of class... ???

I both learned a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, and I would advise others with a graphic design and photography interest to take it. I went in as a true beginner, although some of the other participants were far more experienced. The class covers a great deal of material and students go home with a binder giving detailed step by step directions for each project that was covered...so no note taking is necessary during the class. A great bonus! Dan, our instructor, was extremely patient and thorough in his explanations and very attentive and helpful to each student. Be aware that taking the class allows you to retake it without additional cost!
