I've been a graphic designer and creative director in graphic design for over 25 years. I can't rate Unmesh highly enough...so skilled, clear in his methods, and low key hilarious. Love the way in between showing you multiple ways to achieve a goal he drops in jokes like the one about his relatives.

[MarttiSuomivuori]

Finally someone who knows and does not underestimate his audience.
Compact knowledge with no extra babbling. I appreciate!

Excellent tutorial. In depth, well-explained and more thorough than I could have imagined. And an Action! Plus, great color choice for the t-neck you're wearing!

Every time I learn a technique, it’s usually through this channel. And the great thing about his videos is that he genuinely looks as if he’s enjoying his job. He smiles as he edits like he’s as amazed as we are with his work. Love that. 👏🏽
