Excellent base in the industry of interest
Advantages: Base, platform, communication. Disadvantages: I haven’t found it yet. I’m already in my second year of “Profession Graphic Design”. Provides a good base. There are experts who answer questions, look through the training (they tell you where to fix it, and where everything is fine), and there are also various chats about the courses. Recently, a community has appeared for regular training between all digital design students (there are also quizzes...
