I used ilovecreatives to find a motion graphics video creator. I found Stina Wahlen in Sweden and hired her to create two promo videos for my business' Instagram and Pinterest. She was great and we collaborated very well together. The videos she made for me have been collectively viewed more than 100k times. I have no doubt that we will work together on a 3rd vid someday. Thank you!
Read MoreA lot of the 3D Blender tutorial content is geared towards a style that did not speak to me. I didn't realise how much of a mental block that was until I started doing the course which invited such a playful fun world. The course not only gave me technical skills for 3D but also really encouraged me to play around with an aesthetic that felt true to me. The level of detail that Alex condenses down in a fun teaching style blew my mind. He really helps you understand what you are doing, rather than mindlessly clicking buttons.
Read MoreThe targeted ad I received felt like it was talking directly to me. As Puno flew across my screen, in an instant I knew I was meant to sign-up. And while of course, the course is an investment, I really admired that this wasn't a $$$$$ course promising the world and more, but an actual community offering a personable experience. As a self-taught designer, I wanted to see inside what being led through a curriculum would be like. I'm glad I did.
Read MoreThis course has expanded my horizons of what's possible by so much!! Consistently putting in time for this class has had me grow my skillset so quickly. Puno & team made it so fun to learn and the amount of resources provided aside from the instructions is invaluable. Also being able to see others work in the Discord made me feel like I was on this journey with other people and that was so inspiring (and you get to see so many people's styles!!)
Read MoreMy favorite thing about the course is the community! Everyone is so kind and chill! I love the fact I can still earn cookies and receive feedback on any work. I have founded a creative studio that specializes in Squarespace Web Design! I've also made some cool internet and IRL friends from the course.
My advice would be don't overthink it! Have fun, use time blocking to schedule time for the course, if you need a break, don't take too long of one. Oh, and take advantage of the ilovecreatives Pomodoro Method timer.
Read MoreMy favorite part of the course was learning a couple new tools I didn't know before that I now use all the time, along with getting 1-1 feedback multiple times that has transformed my portfolio! I also love the foundry recommendations and the mock ups... I use those all the time. I now feel pretty good about my portfolio both from my projects and the layout of the entire portfolio. I'm not embarrassed to send it!
Read MoreI loved picking fonts, playing with color schemes, and drawing logos. My portfolio and my confidence are looking much more robust now. I feel good calling myself a graphic designer now, my current design work started looking better, and I have already gotten more freelance work because of it.
My advice to anyone taking this course is don't stress and work at your own pace. Create deadlines for yourself and then once you miss them just create new ones!
What I enjoyed most about the Graphic Design Course is the online community. Being able to move through the course with the kind of people that ilovecreatives attracts meant not working in a silo filled with creative doubt and perfectionism. After completing the course (and even during) I was able to show up more confidently for both myself and my clients. I came away with an even deeper grasp of a creative language I had spent so many years teaching myself. And now I feel even more equipped to broaden my capabilities.
Read MoreTalking about my finances seemed daunting! I was already in the debt hole and it kinda felt too late. I decided to take this course because I knew I could do better. This wasn’t my first rodeo when it came to credit debt. I knew this time around had to be different. I needed to change my mindset around money management, so that this would be my last time down here!
Both instructors, Caroline and Puno are such a breath of fresh air when it came down to learning the ins and outs of the money world! In the past, when having the money talk with other financial advisors, they’d tend to give me the whole lecture in lingo I didn’t even understand, instead Caroline breaks down terms like “debt consolidation” and “retirement planning” in a way that is still so FUN and a total conversation!
I took the Creative Copywriting Class right when I was switching industries into more copy-focused work, and I still refer back to the written curriculum for best practices and advice. The curriculum and the live workshop worked well together—the curriculum offered thorough insight into what assignments were and then the live (but always kind and constructive) critique in the workshop really helped me become a better copywriter. I also wanted accountability to put my portfolio together and feedback once it was live, and Tasha and this class provided that. This class is wonderful, especially for anyone with some copywriting experience who really wants to launch their career. 10/10 for both creative and practical advice.
Read MoreI love how incredibly thorough the course was. The results from the class all depend on how much time you're willing to commit to it. Puno does an incredible job walking you through the in's and out's of Illustrator, Figma, Photoshop, starting a design business, and more. I will definitely refer to these lessons for years to come. Also, having a community of designers at our fingertips is wonderful. Pep talks, job openings, critiques. It's a little design oasis. My confidence level has increased and I finally feel like I have an understanding of how to get the results I'm looking for. There is no fluff in this class, truly valuable skills are taught. Thank you ilovecreatives team!
Read MoreI honestly love Puno and the way she delivers these lectures because they’re super casual and entertaining and so easy to follow and it makes everything so much more attainable. I love the real-life anecdotes and the words of encouragement because sometimes it can get overwhelming and it’s just really nice to have that acknowledgement. I am so grateful for the work that the T.A.s, put to answer our questions and give us meaningful feedback, it is extremely helpful to me and really changes my perception of my work and how I’m doing and also what the perspective of other people is! Espeeeecially because the T.A.s are also designers which makes the feedback super invaluable.
Read MoreThe best thing this course gave me was confidence. I'm a Graphic Designer and for 5 or more years I saw 3D Design as something super hard and I felt like only exceptionally talented and dedicated people can do it, however this course showed me that there's nothing to be afraid of, on the contrary - it's supposed to be super exciting. The confidence of playing around with the materials is everything. It's not just about the tutorials, there are a bunch of tutorials out there - it's more about an amazing environment where in every detail you can see that people thought this through - somebody worked very hard to make everything work so comfortably for you. You can't getaway from the feeling that it's not just a course, it's a handful of super comfortable toolboxes which you can use however you prefer.
Read MoreI LOVE this course! First, Puno's humor kept me engaged and wanting to finish each lesson. Second, I loved that we had to build a few very different websites in order to grasp Squarespace's functionalities. I already knew how to use the platform but this course helped me to understand pretty much all of the different functions I didn't even know I could use/do. Third, the content within the course is worth every single penny because we learn about the design process, freelancing, development, and creativity. It was very well paced, directly to the point yet very informative.
Read MoreThe course is awesome! I enjoy how thorough the videos are and the supporting notion document. If you follow both, the course is sooo understandable and even easy. I love how Megumi explains the purpose behind changes instead of just showing us because it teaches us to problem solve instead of monkey-see, monkey-do. Today, I was setting up Klaviyo for a client on their Shopify site and I had to edit some Liquid and I wasn't scared to touch it because I knew what everything meant off of this course.
Read MoreThis course suited my learning style so perfectly. It pushed me creatively while also giving me the freedom to work on the course at my own pace and pick any dream client to design for. Puno is such a fun instructor and I felt supported every step of the way by her teaching and the amazing TAs.
Read MoreI took the Video Creator Course because Jenn and Rachel are two creators that I have admired for a while now. I wanted so badly to learn from them and I just knew my art would never look the same. I was right. I just learned so much about what I'm capable of. I overcame a limiting belief that told me I wasn't creative. And I proved it wrong!
Read MoreI love how thoughtful the course material and structure are! The way the clips are broken out into super digestible pieces of content learning is a really lovely way to learn. The pacing is easy to follow, and the little details like the final page reminding me to grab some water and take a quick mental reset are *chef's kiss*. I really feel like y'all are holding my hand through it which is pretty impressive for a fully digital course.
Read MoreJust launched my website designed and developed by Hello World Studio who I found on the ilovecreatives directory Not only was my site so custom that it didn't look anything like a Squarespace site, it actually was a Squarespace site that I could edit myself :) Thanks ilovecreatives for helping us connect!
Read MoreMegumi has done such a wonderful job in lifting the veil behind how Shopify is structured with very simple explanations of how HTML, CSS, JSON, and Liquid all work together. The simplicity is truly amazing and very much appreciated!
If you love designing for e-commerce but really want to strengthen your coding muscles to transform your creativity into dope Shopify websites, this course is for you!
