    Ilene has long experience that she shared in this course. She has sharp eyes on details of typography. She has also demonstrated the software usage to fine tune type. I would highly recommend this class if you are a graphic design.

    Wonderful course! I enjoyed it from the beginning until the end, just like the fundamentals course. I wish there was even more of her. Hopefully in the future.

    A really helpful lesson to refresh my knowledge and learn some new lessons. I took a lot of new tips and tricks out of this course to teach my eye on typography and fasten my workflow. Really well explained, thank you! Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to improve on typography.

    I loved every lesson, they are very useful, well explained and not boring at all (including the one with Gerard Huerta). The materials are also really interesting!

    Very interesting!!!

  • Sara T. Dec 25, 2019

    I learned so much I am thankful for Ilene's list. Love her loved this typography class. The last hour of content with Gerard Huerta really took away my desire to watch the content and in the end took away from the Typography class. I would remove it. (insert mouth noise here!)

    Best lessons ever about Typography!!

  • U. Feb 14, 2017

    I bought this and the intro class and love them both! I had no idea fonts, typefaces and typesetting could be so interesting and detailed. Ilene is a clear and informative teacher. I love that she teaches why things are done, not simply "do this". I learn faster and remember better with her style of instruction.
