Choose quality in learning
so you can show quality in your work!
Your Choices > | ![]() (or other reputable instructors) | A classroom training near you | Cheap online marketplace courses | Free YouTube & Google tutorials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Value & Experience (for students just starting out) | Great Beginner program, A-Z MasterClasses, student community | More personal experience, with higher accountability, but you can't go at your own pace | Some really good instructors, but there is an overwhelming selection and no guidance whatsoever | No curation, learning good things in the wrong time may hurt your progress and motivation |
Value & Experience (for more advanced students) | Pro community, advanced webinars, creative projects | Much fewer advanced trainings, high chance of no added value | No real progression here just an endless library of promising course titles | If you find a good channel and already have solid grounds you may find great inspiration |
Total cost in a Year | You can tie your fee to your XP level paying month-to-month $ - $$ | Live, classroom-based training is the most expensive option by far $$$ - $$$$ | Marketplaces are cheap but there is little quality control $ | Nothing is really free, you pay in time of searching pieces of info |
Depth of knowledge you gain (beyond how-to skills) | Insider tips, design principles covered in great detail, by a highly accomplished designer and veteran instructor | Progress at the pace of the group, little time to cover more than how-to-do skills, | Anyone can upload a course on any subject, there are some really good teachers, but most keep their prime content to their own site | There is so much content it is hard to tell, you need to know exactly what you are looking for to find the gems |
Finding exactly what you need | Some niche application or exotic subjects are not covered, but all that a graphic- or motion designer needs | There is far less variety and levels, depending on where you live there might be none | These marketplaces have a huge library favor courses you might find exotic subjects also but it's not easy to spot bad quality | The opposite, you will be shown a great lot of distractions and click-baits that you don't need |
Getting help when you are stuck | Great engaged student community, fast email support | Live help during the training with some follow up, but you can't hold the class for long | Usually at this price there is little help in short answers if any at all | The search algorithm is your best bet, in smaller channels you may get short answers |
Career advancement | Insider tips, career advice, portfolio friendly project briefs and exercises, student collaborations | For working in-house, sometimes the certificate from a reputable training center is enough For freelancing there is little help | You might find tips or content on the subject in general, but beyond that you are on your own | No credibility of a formal training, no curation or expiry date on content, very high risk of finding bad advice that take you off track |

Yes I'm a Designer is a great platform that helps creatives grow and master graphic design skills in an effective way. I had the opportunity to take courses with Martin on Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign and I 100% recommend it! They have a great community and their feedback to help you improve your designs is valuable.

YES are an amazing company that can help absolute novices or, as in my case, recent graduates. Having learned the basics of design, I was astonished about how much more there was to learn. YES give you so many projects and exercises to put what you learn into practice and the feedback is always helpful. You won’t be disappointed if you sign up.

I give you five stars for your exceptional work in teaching. It would be more beneficial if your education in videos has closed captioning for deaf individuals like me. Thank you so much for teaching us how to create incredible graphic designs! I enjoy it tremendously.

I was an animator with basic graphic design knowledge looking to start a career in graphic design. When I received my first Graphic Design job offer, I knew I had to brush up on the software in order to keep up with job demands. These courses taught me everything I needed to know in a clear, succinct manner and went beyond my expectations with its assignments and feedback. I love that courses and assignments are updated with new information, making me feel like I'm getting more than what I pay for. I owe my success to these courses and recommend anyone to try them out!

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.

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

Teaching videos are clear and to the point. There is a logical progression. Creative briefs are varied and interesting. They span a wide range of Adobe software use and cover a broad selection of creative areas. The team are easily accessible via email and are very helpful in answering any queries. The community helps you connect with other designers who are learning. It's a great space to share your own work and see the work of others. You naturally feel motivated to create work (including personal work) to share. If you are serious about learning how to be a designer and working out which area of design you want to specialise in, I highly recommend their Pro Membership. I believe it's the best online learning service I've ever used.

Martin and his team do all the heavy lifting for you - they provide tutorials, projects, recommend design resources, and give constructive feedback, so you can focus on actually making great work, and not on endlessly searching the web for the right information. Everything you need to know about being a designer is all under one roof. Clear, concise, and professional tutorials, along with substantive, friendly feedback on student work, makes Yes I’m A Designer the best resource for those who want to be a graphic designer, imo.

Very professional and didactically very well explained learning content. Even though English is not my native language, I can easily follow the exercises. I have been working with Adobe software for 20 years, but mostly with Photoshop. The courses on the other Adobe programs are an absolute enrichment for my further education.

Excellent course. Extremely well presented and easy to follow along with. Being my first experience with InDesign I wouldn't say that I have mastered all the topics covered, but it is a very good base and starting point. Thank you.
