Malcom Gladwell’s now famous 80/20 rule truly applies to the digital arts. In his theory, he believes that true mastery of any skilled profession comes from 10,000 hours of training and experience. He also believes that the first 80% of mastery comes in the first 20% of effort. If you imagine improving your digital communications by 80% by investing only 20% of the effort, it is a value you can not pass up. This course will get you started in realizing that value.
