I attended here for less than a year and got into the art center. They have good programs and great service! Steve and Yvonne are both great instructors and they treated me like their family member as well. I love their working environment, you will have to go check it out! From Pinnacle, I got stronger digital skills and design skills in which I have less stress in art center right now. It will definitely help you prepare for your art school you wanted to attend.

I have been in Pinnacle Design Center since i was in middle school, although all the stuff taught seemed really hard to understand, the directors there did their best to help me understand the steps. I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn a new skill in the art field. People who also want learn about photography should also try out this place. seriously! it the best, and i think it the right place for people who have no experiences in art work. They can slowly build your foundation and help you get use to the programs. :D:D overall i believe this place is the best, give it a try seriously… it the best: D

This is the best design center in the Los Angeles area. Steve and Yvonne are both talented designers who are willing to help you develop your own skills. The classes are extremely beneficial because of the one-​on-​one tutoring and their extensive experience and knowledge in multiple fields of design. There are a myriad of classes to choose from, whether you are a beginner or simply looking to perfect your abilities in a certain area. Both instructors exude a strong passion and keen eye for design; they understand the potential of each student and isn’t willing to settle for less. When I began at Pinnacle, I did not have any skills in Graphic Design or Advertising, but after enrolling in various classes I was able to construct a portfolio worthy of acceptance to Art Center for Fall 2012. Their confidence in your capabilities encourages you to work harder towards your goals and ultimately achieve them. Pinnacle Design Center offers a direction and guidance that you would not be able to find anywhere else; these instructors are inspiring and motivating and I can honestly say I don’t think I could have done it without them.

Pinnacle Design Center is the best (no lie) no bullshit art school. They will help you get where you want /​need to be, and they have classes for u to learn the tools u will need for an art career, or if you are interested in new skills as an artist. Steve is the best design teacher I’ve had, he’s very knowledgable and he does his best to help you. Steve can be a hard ass but he will give you really good constructive criticism and will give helpful honest advice on your work. I personally at first was very skeptical, but after getting to know steve and his cute wife yvonne, i knew that this school was legit. I hired steve to help me make a portfolio to get into Art Center and i myself was a little shaky on getting in, but steve was really confident that I would get in, and I did. :)

I hired the instructors at Pinnacle to help me develop my graphic design portfolio. Both Steve and Yvonne helped guide me in so many ways. The experience just being there in their studio was a huge help to me.
Pinnacle helped push me to a higher level of skill and organizational processes – whether it had to do with me designing my website, my own branding, or the many creations I would showcase when talking with potential clients. Steve and Yvonne are truly inspirational and I have often thought of coming back again just for refresher courses to challenge myself.
