Who is Your Instructor?

(Hint: It's Jonathan Levit)

With over 25 years of experience working in the design, publishing and production world, I have worked with and helped improve the production workflows of the top magazine, newspapers and advertising agencies in the world, including Nokia, Boeing, Disney, Warner Brothers, Elle, Ogilvy & Mather, The LA times (to name just a few). I have helped them to reduce their production time from hours (and days) to minutes, and have enhanced the aesthetic of their layouts.

And now I’m bringing all of my experience to you in this video series. My years of experience in understanding how to build the best documents and templates can be found within this course.
