- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A brief helpful tips for an upstart designer to begin their journey
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As a beginner in graphics design I found the tips very helpful in my journey.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Helpfull information for begginers in the field of graphic design
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Practice makes perfect. This is a book about challenges, I would call it. Where you can try fro yourself so you can be confident on designing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5E un ghid micuț dar e ok pentru cineva care are nevoie de îndrumare, care nu știe de unde să înceapă și la ce să se aștepte pe parcurs. Eu nu am rămas cu foarte multe idei, dar mi-am notat câteva provocări de acolo, pe care le voi realiza.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I’m only a few pages in, this is a list that you might find online in a blog post made into a self published ebook with lots of affiliates links. If anything, my takeaway is you can self publish an ebook to be distributed on a platform such as scribd with a receptive audience and automate affiliate sales that way.
