Want to know more about us? Here it from our clients!

After spending thousands of dollars at a university, I am almost embarrassed to say that I learned more in this course than I did in my university courses. The training is hands-on and Marti was well-equipped with assignments and mock projects to ensure that I was held accountable to learn the program. I am taking another course in about a month or so and am really looking forward to it. Visual Persuasion was exactly what I needed and will play a major role in the advancement of my career and any side work that I plan to do. Thank you, Marti!

Took an InDesign course with Marti and loved it so much that I contacted Visual Persuasion again when I needed an Adobe Premiere training! Pat was an awesome Premiere trainer. He customized the course to my needs and I came away from it feeling confident and inspired.

This was my first introduction to InDesign besides trying to muddle through learning specific functions via YouTube.  Marti moved the training at a perfect speed and was clear in all of her instructions.  The formatting of the course was an easy way to learn while actually completing projects. I very much appreciated the printed material to take home and potentially practice with!  Last but not least, she offers 30 days of free advice in case you are struggling with a project.  So thoughtful.  It is obvious that Marti loves what she does and it comes across in her class.

I took the Photoshop course as a refresher and to learn new features, since I hadn't used it in a long time. This class was fantastic. Marti has a great way of teaching so you actually remember how to do things. The time went by quickly and we learned so much. I highly recommend this class.

Howard Golden Arapahoe Community College Photoshop July 23, 2018

The course was exactly as advertised which, in this day and age, is perhaps more than one can hope for. Marti was organized, on time and had prepared two six-hour days that were crammed with an overview, details, inside tips and humor. It was instructional time well spent and I feel ready to take on a variety of personal and professional projects in Photoshop.

John Fernandez Photoshop July 23, 2018

I took both the Illustrator and Photoshop beginner courses this summer.  Small class size, top notch knowledge base, individualized instruction and Marti's ability to adapt to class needs, made this an excellent learning platform.  The professionalism mixed with a touch of fun and a clear purpose to transfer knowledge, enables me to recommend this coursework to professionals and hobbyists alike.  I will definitely consider future coursework with Visual Persuasion.

Deborah Lowe Benefits Outreach Professional, University of Colorado Photoshop & Illustrator July 23, 2018

Marti is such a fantastic teacher! By the end of our two-day session in Photoshop, I had learned skills I will be able to use daily in my communications job. The curriculum is thorough, but still very digestible. I will absolutely be going back to Visual Persuasion for more advanced trainings and lessons in other Adobe programs.

Courtney Ward Johns Manville Photoshop July 23, 2018

Completed one-on-one InDesign training with Marti Wedewer. Great pacing and content. I've been using ID for years but needed help filling in the gaps. Marti answered all my questions and showed me features to streamline my work process while adding creative flair. Fantastic instructor for both beginner and experienced users. Training with Marti gave me the exact tools I need AND the understanding to use them effectively.

Julianne Bertonne CO Dept of Public Health and Environment InDesign June 18, 2018

I took Photoshop and InDesign classes with Marti earlier this month. I had a great time, learned so much and am super excited to start applying what I learned at work and on personal projects. Both classes had a very small class size which made it easy to ask questions and make sure that I understood the concepts as we moved from section to section. Marti is a patient instructor with a great sense of humor. I'd definitely recommend these courses to anyone who needs an intro or to brush up on things.

Phillip Lucas RTD Denver Photoshop & InDesign June 18, 2018

I took a custom, one-on-one Photoshop class with Marti, and it was excellent. She is an expert in the material, and was able to tailor the course to my needs and questions on the fly. Prior to the class, I had a working knowledge of InDesign and Illustrator, and needed a crash course in Photoshop for specific job applications. I provided Marti with examples of how I might use the program, and she used our time together to not only address Photoshop basics, but also specific ways that I could apply the tools to the needs I outlined.  I left the session with real, practical knowledge that I was almost immediately able to apply in my profession, and my management is thrilled with my new skills. Additionally, not only was Marti knowledgeable, but she was also extremely pleasant to work with -- she was responsive, timely and organized.  I can't wait to take additional courses with Marti as the need arises!Paige Jensen 11/21/17 Loved this course. The small group setting was a perfect way to get a good grasp on the illustrator course. Hands on learning has always been my favorite way to learn and the ability to ask questions as they arose was key. Hoping to be back to take another one of Marti's Adobe Creative Suite courses.

Carly Oosten Marketing Lead, Dish Network June 18, 2018

Marti was an awesome teacher! She went the perfect speed and also taught the platform in a way where I could leave and apply it to my job! I am so excited to see where this class will take my career and will definitely be using Marti again when taking the InDesign class!

You won't regret taking her class!!!

Lindsay O'Neal Marketing Director Adobe InDesign October 17, 2017

This class was amazing!! Doing a one-on-one InDesign class with Marti was one of the best trainings I have received. I left feeling so much more confident with Adobe InDesign and can't wait to take more! Can't say enough good things about this class.

Wendy Wojcik Marketing, Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade Adobe InDesign May 25, 2017

Jennifer Bowdry Marketing, Paulien & Associates, Inc. Advanced InDesign May 25, 2017

I took the Adobe Illustrator class a couple weeks ago and was extremely happy. Marti is very knowledgeable about the program and I learned tons of tricks and had plenty of practice. I am looking forward to scheduling a more advanced class with her.

Carlos Fraire Marketing, Terumo BCT Adobe Illustrator May 25, 2017

Took an InDesign class with instructor Marti Wedewer.  I learned so much and Marti was so great! It was very hands on, so easy to get all your questions asked, and her pace and instruction were wonderful. I went in with very minimal InDesign experience and came out feeling confident about my new skill set which I'll use for freelance graphic design. Between Marti, the affordability, the instruction, and the course materials I got to take home (including and InDesign ebook) I highly recommend Visual Persuasion if you're interested in learning more about an Adobe program!

Michelle Allain Visual Arts Instructor, Evergreen Country Day School Adobe InDesign Level 1 class February 23, 2017

If anyone is looking for a class on Adobe Products... Marti is the best. She teaches at a local college, but also has these classes. The classes are small and personalized to what your goals are. She's patient and easy to work with on everything. Thanks Marti! I'd give you 10 stars if I could!

Pace Myrick Training, Adult Education, and Talent Development Professional Adobe InDesign Level 1 class February 23, 2017

Marti is an awesome teacher. I left her InDesign course feeling confident in the program and with a toolbox worth of tricks! I would recommend her courses to anyone looking to learn in a pressure free, small class environment.

Juliann Bertone Communications Specialist, State of Colorado Emergency Preparedness & Response Adobe InDesign Level 1 class February 23, 2017

 Elena Campbell Clerical Support Specialist Denver Health Managed Care June 7, 2015

Maggie McEntee SE2 June 7, 2015

"I must learn the way you were teaching because you didn’t go too fast or too slow. It was also nice to have a small number so I wasn’t embarrassed to ask questions or say when I was stuck. Thank you for teaching this class. This was a great introductory class to get exposed to the tools, see what they do and gain some confidence in working on my own projects.”

Mindi Onwuegbu Communications Specialist Montbello High School June 6, 2015

"The small class (size) made it more effective. Mandi did a great job."

Rich Welch Admin/Marketing Manager Hobby-Whalen Marketing Inc. June 6, 2015

Stephanie Ricker Client Services Director Zim Consulting June 6, 2015

"I loved the foundational tools training and also the 30 min project at the end of the day where you had real live practice time in class with an instructor available so if you were stumped you had a resource to help you through."

Cassie King Marketing Manager Pearl Izumi June 6, 2015

"I was glad to learn how you trace and move things, as well as how you can manipulate text. Carma was great at answering all questions that my class had, even as they were specific to their own work. I appreciated that, especially when it came to my own questions. Overall, great job and great instructor!"

Jessica Lewis Marketing Coordinator InstaKey Security Systems June 6, 2015

Alissa Dowling AArete, LLC June 6, 2015

"The class was successful in bridging the gap between CS4 and CS5 and teaching me many new shortcuts and tricks. It helped me re-kindle my passion for working with Illustrator and helped lift my user confidence. Thank you for the downloadable book—it really helped to read through it before the class started and was a great takeaway product."

Alyssa Auerbach Excell Marketing June 6, 2015

"Wes gave me the individual attention I needed as I was a novice while the others were experienced. I appreciated his extra help at the end of the session where he took specific questions I had and showed me how to execute them."

Brooks Luby Fashion Designer Brooks LTD June 6, 2015

"The format was very clear—I liked starting with the basics and building a little from there. Was a good resource to get me started and point me in the right direction to continue on my own. Wes was great—it’s nice to take “tech” classes from someone who is great with people who don’t have a huge understanding of the topic!"

Lynlee Espeseth 29 Stories June 6, 2015

"The topics covered and the class pace were just right for me. Overall, great experience, I would definitely choose Visual Persuasion for future training."

Tina Lehman Marketing Manager Eberl Claims Service Inc. June 6, 2015

"The class was perfect for an inexperienced photoshop user. It was delivered at a good pace, thorough, and showing different ways to do the same thing. The class trainer was very patient and good at explaining things. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to learn Photoshop.”

Jenna Chavez Financial Analyst Oracle June 6, 2015

"I enjoyed the reasonable size of the class—it allowed for more questions and interaction with Mandi and classmates.”

Badi Mibiuba Owner/Graphic Artist Court Vision Creative, LLC June 6, 2015

"Before taking the InDesign class, I knew very little about Adobe software. But after taking the class, I was able to learn a variety of techniques and skill in a small classroom setting, allowing for individual attention from the instructor. I am now able to assist in projects at work, and even create my own designs. I would definitely recommend the InDesign class taught through Visual Persuasion for anyone who wants to learn, or further their knowledge of the Adobe software.”

Lauren Bryant Business Relations Assistant Better Business Bureau June 6, 2015

"Marti asked about the things that we would be using InDesign for and made sure she covered topics that would be useful for us."

Lisa Gilliard Government Product Specialist, Denver Health June 6, 2015

"I recently took a beginner class for Adobe Illustrator and couldn't be more pleased with the experience.  Marti is a wonderful teacher, has a huge breadth of knowledge, is friendly and flexible, and is an all-around great person.  I came away with more functional understanding of the program than I had hoped for and will take as many classes as possible in the future."

Suzy Simpson Pinnacle Lighting June 6, 2015

Liz Brown June 6, 2015

"Organized, logical presentation, responsive to questions. Instructor knows how to adapt and interact while maintaining focus and momentum."

Jeff Gathercole June 6, 2015

"The class was great. I really got a feel for how InDesign works. I don’t always remember how to get to certain commands, but Steve showed us several ways. At least one has to stick! Thank you Steve and Mandi. I can’t wait to sign up for the next class!”

Jill Mugge Marketing Artist JMG Marketing Group June 6, 2015

"I liked that Wes took the time to instruct each of us differently. Although this was a beginners class the other two people attending were more advanced than I am. They had some Photoshop experience and some Illustrator knowledge. He structured the class so that we all learned something no matter our skill level. I also appreciated his patience and his support.”

Shelly George City Director Metro Denver Lemonade Day June 6, 2015

"I learned a lot during my class. I really appreciated that it was small and non-intimidating. I could ask as many questions as I needed. I also recommended the instructor to multiple people in my office.”

Kelly Wagner Project Assistant Bennett Wagner & Grody Architects PC June 6, 2015

"The small, laid-back style of the class really worked. Marti was able to help everyone individually which was great for me because I needed more help than anyone! Marti is a great instructor, she really knows her stuff.”

Paul Cisneros June 6, 2015

"Marti Wedewer, is a great instructor and will customize the two day class to match your knowledge level and meet you learning goals. I recommend taking a beginner class, practicing for a few weeks or months, then coming back for the advanced class, with questions! The more you communicate about what you want before class, the more she can plan the class to focus on what you want to learn. Highly recommend Visual Persuasion."

 

Lisa Padgett Green Dog Design June 6, 2015

"When the class was offered, evenings worked best for me, as well as the class size. There were only four of us in class. I benefited mostly from the basic set-up of a project and timeline and especially how the camera function works and masking a moving object. Our instructor Chuck was easy going yet kept the class moving at a good clip."

Moss Cremer 9NEWS May 26, 2015

"I really enjoyed the class and learned a ton! There are so many tools and techniques that I didn’t know existed before I took the class. Carma was a great teacher—super patient and helpful. I can’t wait to take more classes at Visual Persuasion. I liked doing the lab after we learned a bunch of tools and techniques, so we could practice on our own, but ask for help as needed."
