Adobe Masterclass for Catalogue Design

It was perfect, I had a great 5 days with Greta.  My original objective was to create large corporate catalogues which was a bit daunting for me on day one. After five days I now feel confident about them with my knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

Thank you Greta
