I've been connected to Kendol on LinkedIn for over a year now, and the way he explains graphic design principles is clear and compelling. He makes an excellent business case for how to use color effectively in your business communications.
Kendol is absolutely amazing! I first met him on the Super Prof website while searching for a compatible match for my husband to enhance his graphic design skills. I reached out to Kendol early on a Monday morning at 2:30 AM, and he responded promptly, working everything out with me.
When the time came for my husband to meet Kendol, they hit it off right away. Kendol made my husband feel comfortable and, during their introductory meeting, taught him key concepts that they will focus on in future lessons. They collaboratively created a roadmap of topics to cover.
Kendol is professional and has a calm demeanor. I am confident that anyone who books him will improve and greatly benefit from his guidance. Book him now!Teacher Kendol's lecture was very interesting, and I also learned a lot about design principles, which helped me improve my design and use professional software more easily!
In this class, I learned a lot. For instance, how to make plates, how to refine thecomposition, and how to better utilize colors. Mr. Kendol taught me many things.
Kendol is an incredibly trustworthy teacher. Their in - depth knowledge of the subject matter is evident in every lesson, as they can clearly explain complex concepts in an easy mia.
My name is Camille. During this period, Kendol has been leading us in learning design principles. I have learned a lot and also reviewed and improved my previous knowledge of Photoshop. Under Kendol's guidance, the works I created have become more to the point, and my efficiency has improved significantly. I am very grateful for the teacher's guidance.
I have also come to understand cultural differences. In China, some poster design concepts can be very subtle and require people to think about them. However, in many foreign posters and designs, the message is very direct and accurate, allowing people to understand at a glance. The visual impact is also very strong. I really like this approach and am learning it step by step.
Finally, I want to thank Kendol for the guidance and look forward to seeing you again next time!I wholeheartedly recommend Teacher Kendol! Teacher Kendol has demonstrated extremely high professional competence in teaching. During this period, he has imparted a wealth of design knowledge to us in a simple and profound way, especially the application of Photoshop. From the explanation of basic tools to complex creative compositions, he can vividly elaborate with real - life cases, enabling us to master them easily.
Teacher Kendol also attaches great importance to guiding us to unleash our creativity, encouraging us to boldly experiment with different styles. In his class, we can not only acquire practical skills, but also gain a new understanding of design and enthusiasm for it. Whether you are a novice in design or a peer looking to upgrade your skills, learning with Teacher Kendol will surely propel you forward on the path of design.Mr. Mason gave so much helpful commentary, advice, and memorable one liners that really helped me learn more about the graphic design industry! I believe he is a trustworthy teacher because of his ability to teach in a compelling and engaging way. I will definitely look into maybe receiving additional feedback from him if I work on any graphic design projects!
Kendol did an amazing job presenting to my students. He was thorough, super knowledgeable, and answered all my student's questions. Aside from that, he has a great mindset on design, and had some really great advice and perspective on the industry.
In the webinar I attended, Mr. Mason was very informative, and showed us on Adobe Illustrator how the basics work, and answered our questions to his best ability. I am definitely grateful for the webinar, and the amount of information Mr. Mason gave us. I believe he is trustworthy because of his openness to us, going overtime to give us timeless advice, and being willingly hosting this webinar in the first place.
