He speaks clearly and well, is easy to follow. The material is a little light, going through different art styles in the illustration part would have helped, I felt like it was one character with one style in that section.

There is a lot of useful information about the software but not enough opportunities to apply the knowledge on projects.

I like the instructor's upbeat voice, and he seems so knowledgeable and relaxed that it helps me feel confident I can learn this stuff. I've only watched the first three videos, but since you asked...

A good primer on how to use Affinity Designer and get you started pretty quickly. The lectures on the pen tool were especially well done

Very Informative about what the product is about and the use. I enjoyed the information he had to share. The tutorials gave me some wonderful ideas and refreshed my creative thinking. Wonderful teacher. I am more advanced than I give myself credit for. Even this is a beginners course, It is a blessing due to the fact I did learn about the way professionals go about creating projects and the right way to tackle what you want to create.

There are not enough stars! Need more! Ronnie is a great teacher for what seemed like a very complicated piece of software at first, now thanks to Ronnie I'm in love with Affinity products! I was a total beginner and Ronnie simplified it for me and now I'm confident user, using Affinity every single day. The course is just about at the right pace to follow along and gives you the foundations to do almost anything. Ronnie, can you do an advanced course in Affinity Designer please please please? That would be fab. Highly recommend! :-)

So far it is going at a perfect pace for a beginner like me. Introducing tools, etc., but not going so much in depth that I get completely lost, as other courses tend to do.

Happy with the course. Just a starter course. Some topics he says he will cover later but never gets back to. Raster persona isn't really covered at all. But its ok.

Good information but not well thought out and rehearsed before ccreating the video. This resulted in a very halting and sloppy presentation. Too many 'hay guys'.

Excellent audio with a good cadence for absorbing information as described. Starts with basic information then progresses on previous presentation. Would be better if HD but for 720 it is acceptable. Recommend this course to any newbie to Affinity Designer.

I am only new to design software and have only used very basic tools in coral, so for me this is a fantastic introduction to Affinity design. It has given a good overview to the tools and where to locate them on screen. A good description of the tools without getting bogged down in details, that would only complicate or confuse me at this stage. The basic use of language makes it easy for me to follow along with the screen examples. Good pace. Highly recommed for anyone new to design software.

He speaks slowly and clearly, unlike YouTube videos I've seen. This is a good basic overview so far, allowing me to pause and experiment a little before continuing.
