Disfruté mucho este curso, Chris es un apasionado de su trabajo y lo transmite en cada lección. Nos enseña su workflow de principio a fin, de una manera concreta y digerible. Su técnica para lograr la estructura de “grids and margins” ha influido en mi manera de trabajar. Un curso muy recomendable!

Such a great course for publication designs! Improved my workflow for layouts, especially the technique with grids really opened new experimental possibilities for me.

A great course! My two absolute favourite items were the set-up of the grid - and the process of sketching out ideas for a feature article.
