[@muteerehman5365]

Sir ❤️❤️

[@KhalilUllahKhan1]

GFX Mentor by Imran bhai is one of the best educational KZbin channels in Pakistan. I learned Premiere Pro from him when I started my channel. Absolute gem!❤️

[@allaboutknowledge6069]

You are also a good video editor and no doubt the Face of Content Writing in Pakistan.

[@vaibhavdugar5064]

He is one of the best in India as well

[@Waqarseelro1]

Yes Bro GFX Is Good Teacher

Watch Podcast on Having fulltime Job - Freelancer, GFX Designer & Video Animator (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZmtpWR7jLCBqbs) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZmtpWR7jLCBqbs)

[@careerbanao333]

The content that entertains you and doesn't even make you feel the guilt of spending time on KZbin. Worth watching every minute of the podcast.

[@shehrozabdullah3241]

Arguably the best episode of TBT. I explored Graphic Design via GFX Mentor one year ago. It wasn't my thing, so I hopped off. What I did take away from sir Imran was to keep on exploring. Today I'm an entry level data scientist and I love my job. Kudos to Sir Imran for teaching so much more than just Graphic Designing.

[@anees419]

Sir how can i start from which playlist??? Gfx mentor channel.

[@shakoorgilal4231]

Finally my mentor is here

[@aliismine]

*Thanks for inviting the most Flamboyant and Dynamic Personality for Graphics*

[@azlanikram9393]

[@imwbk]

Most awaited session.. Thanks for calling him ❤️

[@adilali5334]

Love & Respect for Imran Ali Dina. Thank you Muzamil for inviting him.

[@wasay8105]

its not about being a jack of all traits, its about capitalizing all you can from every thing you possibly can. like the example of exploring one's self by jumping in on multiple fields. I like the mention of following the trends of designing, just today I was recommended this video, and earlier this morning I was searching up on the trends that are going around. very relevant piece of advice. amazing work Muzamil!

[@TechnicalPersonnel]

One of the best cast today. Very simple and inspiring.

[@maira.akhtar]

Smooth like a butter, deep like a ocean, time flows without even realizing!! So much to learn from him. 😅💜

[@ssaleem2469]

Teacher Imran It was nice listening to you. I just started learning Graphics and No doubt you are the Best.I do pray for you just just like my other teachers. Stay blessed

[@habeebaaah]

This is the only podcast I completely watched without forwarding. Excellent one!!

[@umerimam9506]

GFX mentor is the best youtuber. My sister and I learned illustrator and Adobe After Effects from him

[@iltafkhalid5146]

Imran bhai, a true inspiration. Only DOS, GW-Basic, FoxPro, Typing Master... old memories, what a time of discovery that was. Nostalgia :)

[@fatimazulfiqar3937]

Sir Imran Ali Dina is a gem , I learned Photoshop and premier Pro just through his channel . Thank you muzammil for bringing him to your show

[@inverted1057]

Enlighten me sir !

[@adnan_hashmi]

Your podcast is awesome and unparalleled.

[@usamakhokhar5670]

Well I've been listening to Muzamil's podcasts for quite some time now, but this was unarguably something unique. The way he talked about his life experiences and the lessons they conveyed was purely fascinating. Got to learn a bunch of life lessons in just an hour, this is what I would refer to as a true motivational lesson!!

[@FurkanWahab]

Why this video has only 9K views, this is quite an interesting Interview. Thank you, Mr.Muizamil for giving us inside stories of Mr.Imran Ali Dina.

[@anantsharma5330]

Thanks Muzamil. First time on your channel. Loved the way the you take conversation forward. Nice to listen both of you :)

[@AffanAKhan]

[@artbyarnab]

Absolute pleasure listening to Imran sir . Big fan of sir from India and have learnt so many things from him, infact I started my youtube journey being inspired by sir . Gratitude brother for bringing him to the show.

My Dad (Army) was posted to Noshewra in 1988. The new lab was established there for Officers. My dad told me about it & I used to go there after office hours. There was around 8-10 computers, 1-2 were Epson & 1 Epson had Hard drive with Win3.1 with mouse. It was fascinating to be on that computer. He refreshed my Memories. Thanks 🇺🇸

[@AsmaAli100]

Amazing podcast. I have been thinking of learning a few new skills and now I know about Ali Dina's channel. I can feel what he said about 1992. In 1994 after graduating from NED I used to go to the office by bus and after every few weeks there was a transportation strike.

[@hamytube]

Thumbs up 👍 @Muzamil Hasan, I heard his (Imran Ali Dina) name from my cousins and friends, what a great personality. It reminds me of old times, Winamp, Flash 5, and Creative Sound Balster Cards... A very informative and insightful session.

[@mustafarazzaq2732]

Thank you so much muzamil bhai ❤️

[@Umair-Hashmi]

Wow. What an amazing journey Imran Bhai had. Very informative podcast. I have seen many video thumbnails of Imran Bhai in my recommendation. I never watched his videos (it is not because I don't like them but I am in the same field), but now definitely I will explore them. Thanks for this podcast Muzamil.
