    This is a GREAT training course!
    Most training courses show you bits and pieces of how to run a program but leave the quality of the design up to you. John has taken a different route and shows you every last little detail of what it takes to build a professional level promo.
    He builds it in front of your eyes and tells you why he’s making the choices he is. By doing this he lets you into the decision-making process a designer goes through so you can start developing your own artistic eye and get better looking work no matter what it may be.
