Testimonials

  • Learning to use complex software can be an intimidating process, especially as a creative. Evin’s comprehensive coverage of topics and program functions incorporate everything from the basic need-to-knows down to the fine-tuned details— in a clear, well paced, and engaging manner. He has over 20 years of professional experience as a creative, and has garnered a wealth of knowledge in Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator that shows through in his lectures and tutorials. Evin has been one of my favourite instructors to learn from, and I know I will always walk away having learned something valuable and useful in my creative practice.
