"I definitely learned to do things I never thought I would. The class was hard, but the instructor's methods are right on. We are given all the information we need to accomplish tasks, expect we then need to take that information and use our logic to put it together. This class makes you think. I liked it a lot and definitely learned. Critiques were very fair and honest, and I always agreed with his suggestions."

"This was an excellent class. The lessons were well thought out and made the advanced techniques very manageable. I have definitely taken my Illustrator skills to the next level. Mike is a great instructor. His lessons were easy to follow with great examples. He was very encouraging in his critiques and provided helpful feedback."

"The course covered critical Photoshop skills that I had hoped to master. I believe the course brought me to a much higher level of Photoshop expertise. Excellent course! Matt is without question a top notch instructor (and I've had some excellent instructors at Sessions). He provides thorough and useful feedback. In fact, he took the time to make revisions to one of my exercises to illustrate a technique - which was very useful to me. I also like that Matt has high standards for class exercises; there are no automatic 100's in his course."
