"Kevin was great about applying the course to what I needed to know about Photoshop. Each lesson was beneficial to me and was clearly taught. He is clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to design and Photoshop. The class went by quickly but I did not feel overwhelmed with material. I am glad that is was hands on because it was helpful to practice each lesson as we covered new material." - Heather S
