Read MoreThis class provided a great set of tools and process to really work an idea from inception through to finish. The focus on teaching and working each step in order and thoroughly understanding it before moving on to the next step was an exceptional approach. I now truly appreciate the work that goes into a piece before you even start your finish work. This is going to improve my whole method and process for creating images and I am positive my output will be of a much higher quality due to it. I will be able to create images both faster and with a higher quality.
