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....

Very interesting, I liked the format. Easy to follow, nice excercises. It's actually good to cover the basics of design, even if you are not an absolute beginner, and especially if you are self taught

very good introductory course. i enjoyed the assignments, they are not overwhelming, easy to start, and the optional ones offer great opportunity to dig little deeper into graphic design fundamentals.

I just wished that it wasn't just people viewing because I feel sometimes others misunderstand the meaning of the assignment and may give bad grade.

great course, easy to understand. minus from me, because you don't get a feedback from teacher for your work. don't have communication with teacher

The course is great but peer graded assignments are not so reliable, peers just want to finish the assignment so they do not give good feedback

Interesting information, examples, and ease of access. However, instructions for assignments are often ambiguous in contrast to their syllabi.

Coursera has not only helped me to understand the basics or fundamentals of Graphic Design, but also how to put them in practical application.

It's been fun! As the name suggest, it really is a fundamental course meant for beginners. I find the typography week to be most informative.

Overall great course. Some knowledge Adobe Illustrator and file formatting needed.

The Audio is out of sink from the video on many lessons.

It's described as "fundamentals" and that's it. Very basic. Everything is well explained. In my opinion, it could be a little more in depth.

Great introduction course. I wish there were links to relevant literature on the topics. Some exercise formulations are not instantly clear.

Nice way to teach because some time we want to learn by video and other time with text and this a nice plateform to learn something new
