โI can't speak highly enough about this class. Ms. Ashley presented a well-rounded, thorough, and comprehensive graphic design course resulting in a rich marketing collateral collection. She was an excellent instructor -- clear, concise, friendly, and effective. Her approach was very inviting and kept the students' interest. In only ten weeks, so many facets of marketing collateral were covered, from logos to brochures to business cards and more. Very impressive. We look forward to having her as an instructor again! She's top-notch! โ
