Este ha sido uno de los mejores cursos que he tomado en Domestika, Sagi Haviv no solo te mostrará el proceso de como abordar la creación de un logotipo, te contará alguna de las cosas que diseñador grafico enfrenta en su tarea en el día a día y que definitivamente en ninguna escuela te enseñarán, un curso que en verdad vale la pena tomar.
