I had been using the "yes, IAD" on youtube to slowly learn what I needed to know on youtube, after a while, it just made sense to join the group. Once I had, my learning skyrocketed and I now have my certification test for illustrator booked and feel extremely confident about receiving my certification. I will stay a member to complete my career training.

Yes I'm a Designer is one of the most recommendable courses I have ever seen. I am becoming a professional graphic designer after following all the master class courses here and completing other supportive courses. I enjoyed a lot while studying. What an amazing lecturer he is. I feel that Martin transformed me to a totally new profession through his course series and the continuous guides updating our knowledge upfront. I will be a pro-member for lifetime in YES I'M A DESIGNER in my future journey. Cheers..!!!!

The Yes I'm a Designer program is a MUST for designers looking to up-level their skills. The courses are broken down into bite-sized videos that are super easy to follow and Martin shares all kinds of cool tips along the way. I would definitely recommend these courses to anyone who's either looking to become a designer or a designer who's looking to up their game in a competitive industry.

I've taken courses from Lynda, Skillshare, etc., and know my way around the various Adobe products ok. However, I am really learning a ton from Martin. Even when I watch basic videos like "drawing" in Illustrator, I find myself saying "Oh! I did not know that!!" These courses are very well designed, and Martin is an excellent educator. Whether you are starting out or want to make sure that you are really getting everything you can out of Adobe products, this is a great place to do it. Yes, Martin has a lot of stuff on YouTube, but the information in the courses is structured and organized, so you can clearly progress and learn skills in an efficient manner.

As an educator, I watch and review many educational videos and programs. The Yes, I’m a Designer series has been one of the best, so far. It is, pedagogically, well-organized and presented. I have been working in Illustrator for quite some time and considered myself proficient. I realized I was barely scratching the surface. The presenter showed me so much more of the program and at a much deeper, yet simpler level. The amount of content makes this the best value out there. I highly recommend this for beginners and intermediate users.

I am pursuing 'Illustrator Masterclass' course these days. I am half way through and I have gained good enough confidence to apply for the job of illustrator (Though I am an animator by profession). This program earns my highest level of recommendation. Martin is an amazing teacher. Happy to be a part of Yes I am a designer. Cheers. Dilpreet Singh.

Martin is a fantastic teacher. I have been using Illustrator for 25 years, but often felt that I didn't know it particularly deeply, and wasn't using it as efficiently or fully as I'd like. I learned so much from the Illustrator Masterclass - part of a large collection of courses included in the subscription - and immediately started working better and more confidently as a result. I feel like I know the software much better and was surprised to discover whole tools and techniques that I didn't previously know existed. The course has inspired me and made me excited to create again. I'm looking forward to exploring the course library further.

I really appreciate the courses even though I’m a studied Graphic Designer myself for several years now. I thought I’m pretty good at the Adobe programs, but Martins skills are on another level! 😀 He seems to know just everything about the programs and he’s very good at teaching and explaining them in a simple and clear way. Sometimes it’s just a little trick or detail I didn’t know about, which helped me to optimize my workflows. Especially in Illustrator, which I always thought to be a little bit too complicated to master it by myself. And … he just seems to be a very cool and down to earth guy. I have been in mail contact several times with him and another member of his team and it was always a very nice and friendly conversation. Once I had a question about some change in my account and they instantly took care about it. Really great customer support! So I can highly recommend to check out the courses, even if you’re already an experienced designer. You might be surprised! 🙂 Thank You Martin and Team YES! Benjamin

This was such a clear and well paced course. I appreciated that the instructor would always say the shortcuts he used as a reminder of what was learned in previous lessons. It definitely helped me remember and I’m excited to start using the program instead of feeling intimidated by it.

I can honestly say that it was a great masterclass for me and anyone who wants to master InDesign in a very short time, the chapters were not too long and it was very specific about tools and new features etc.. Thanks to Martin and yes I'm a Designer

Clarity and accuracy are once again to be found in this series of courses. I clearly recommend this experience, and also the Premiere Pro series, for a better understanding of motion design and video editing.
