课程概述

Graphic Design is all around us! Words and pictures—the building blocks of graphic design—are the elements that carry the majority of the content in both the digital world and the printed world. As graphic design becomes more visible and prevalent in our lives, graphic design as a practice becomes more important in our culture. Through visual examples, this course will teach you the fundamental principles of graphic design: imagemaking, typography, composition, working with color and shape... foundational skills that are common in all areas of graphic design practice. I don't just want you to watch a video of someone talking about design, I want you to MAKE design! If you want to be a designer you have to be a maker and a communicator, so this course will offer you lots of opportunities to get your hands dirty with exercises and with more practical projects. At the end of this course you will have learned how to explore and investigate visual representation through a range of image-making techniques; understand basic principles of working with shape, color and pattern; been exposed to the language and skills of typography; and understand and have applied the principles of composition and visual contrast. If you complete the course, along with its optional (but highly recommended) briefs, you will have a core set of graphic design skills that you can apply to your own projects, or to more deeply investigate a specialized area of graphic design. To succeed in this course you will need access to a computer. You can complete this course without one but it will be tougher. Access to, and a beginner's level knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite programs, such as Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign will help you, especially if you want to complete the optional briefs....

The course itself was great. The only thing lacking is that all the assignments were reviewed only by peers.

Great content. Only problem is the learner community isn't particularly active, and reviews are pretty poor.

I thought the exercise of 10 images was a good intro to thinking of different ways to represent an object.

Basic but good course. The optional assignments should be required to rise the course level and feedback.

Some of the videos seem a little repetitive, but all in all it was a great overview of Graphic Design. T

I loved this course, even though (for me), some things were quite repetitive and unnecessarily lengthy.

The only thing I didn't love about the course is the AI grades. Overall fun, exciting and interesting!
