I attended a master's degree in Web Design about 1 and a half years ago (too expensive, among other things), and I also studied Adobe InDesign: however, when I tried to take the ACA certification exam, I failed. So I came here on YouTube to try to understand where I might have gone wrong and to improve my learning, and your account appeared. The great thing is that just yesterday I took the exam after watching this entire video, and I passed! I can absolutely say that you taught me more in 7 hours than an academy in 1 year. Truly, truly thank you so much! Your profile is a precious treasure. Keep it up!

I had no knowledge about InDesign and I didn't know even a single word about InDesign, but when I searched for the InDesign course I came across this channel. This course is full of knowledge, my learning curve went from 0 to hero. Thank you so much David.❤️ From Pakistan.

David, you were born to be an instructor. Your easy-to-understand and pleasant voice, personality, and presentation style made learning InDesign an enjoyable experience! I also feel like you covered everything I needed to learn in 7 hours.

Been in graphic design for 4 years, and now struggling to find a new job because a lot of employers are looking for design skills qualification, Indesign software is not been used for my current company, thank you for this I learned a lot.
-
This is INCREDIBLE. Years ago, I was taught from a co-worker the basics and was proficient. But I wanted to get some real training to advance my knowledge of this program. I'm learning so much from you. You speak clearly and make it very easy to follow along as I watch and take notes. I can't say thank you enough!!
-
Actually, this course is more usefull than so much paid coures I have founded before. I think I have learned so much through these lectures and I can apply in my architectural exercises. Thank you so much!. I hope you'll continue grow and succed.
-
Currently in Working with Images (Part 2) and I have already learnt so much! It's explained extremely well and the pace is perfect. Looking forward to watching the rest of the tutorial.

Just a comment to thank you for the best and most complete tutorial available for Indesign on YouTube. It is really great.
-
And in just 10 minutes this genius of a teacher has explained how the gradient tool works and I finally understand how it works and how it can used! Simply brilliant! Thank you!
-
I am taking my time and going through this tutorial while making notes as I follow along. Thanks for the time you took with this to properly explain this to your audience.
-
David turns a potentially frustrating steep learning curve into pure joy. Great work!
-
Just a few minutes in and I already felt confident that I was going to learn exactly what I needed to learn. Thank you so much. Sincerely.
-
All the other courses that I’ve tried so far were either overwhelming, boring, or the learning material was sub par quality. The teaching style here is thorough without overloading info, but is informative enough where it’s easy to digest. Love that we get to apply what we just learned after each section. Very helpful way to remember everything that is being taught. I can’t wait to complete it. You’ve done a great job! Thank you!!
-
The lessons are carefully curated and taught. Your voice is very pleasant and a big thank you for the exercise files. Very few trainers share their files the way you do. Sharing is learning. Thankyou one again.
-
David, thank you for making these courses. I have just installed adobe suite because it is a skill I have wanted to build for a while. I am about a fifth of the way into this course and I already see so much potential with what your course has effortlessly taught me. Can’t wait to learn more!
-
I'm only 10 minutes in and your tutorial is excellent. Great speaking voice, great pacing, fab enthusiasm, many thanks for making this!
-
Excellent teaching style!! Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm 2 hours in and feel like I can get my arms around this. I have been so intimidated by all the CC programs but so really wanted to learn and now I am!!! I hope you have a video for Illustrator and photoshop too.
-
I watched this in parts and paused while I had the program open on another screen. It took longer than 7 hours of course but I feel really confident now I can do the basic projects I have planned for myself.
-
