So you’ve opened Photoshop, but still feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start?

By the end, you’ll be designing posters, retouching images, creating graphics and mockups — and actually enjoying the process.

    Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful in just the first few lessons. There are so many little things that we are not taught in school that I am learning here. Dansky speaks clearly and is incredibly knowledgeable. I totally recommend for beginners, and experienced designers too.

    Elaine Jones

    Dansky’s teaching style makes a huge difference. His explanations are easy to understand, and he has a natural way of making the learning process enjoyable. It feels approachable, even if you’ve never opened these programs before. You’re not just learning, you’re having fun building real skills.

    Dansky's course structure is full of useful tips and tricks, clear demonstrations, and explanations to follow and understand. Also, with each module, there are downloads so one can follow along with everything he is doing. This course is definitely worth it and I'm very satisfied with what I've seen thus far.

    Tetiana Oliinyk

    Excellent course, especially for beginners. All the tools and instruments are explained in detail, and there are many interesting examples that you can recreate or do according to your creativity. There's also great module challenges, and most importantly, you receive 24/7 support and help from Dansky.
