Very great course to start designing. It helped me become bolder in creating contrasts in my work. Great for anyone interested in graphic design, or anything like bullet journalling, cooking, etc.

I am just missing an experience designer feedback but I understand it is not possible.
I think is a perfect introduction and if you worked on the optional assignment you can really push yourself to learn more.

One thing I really liked about this course that the student kept engaged with practice assignments as they go along the course. Very good learning experience... would definitely take the rest of the courses.

Fue divertido y aprend铆 mucho experimentando cada semana, totalmente recomendado. En ocasiones creemos que sabemos cosas, pero cuando aprendes el por qu茅 de esas cosas es cuando realmente sabemos sobre ellas

I thoroughly enjoyed exploring and completing this course. I learnt about being creative with my skills and techniques and discovered that it isnt always about perfection or at making your work look perfect

Everything is really amazing, from the first week to last. i wish i had more time to complete the optional assignments.
if there is one thing.. i think the last required assignment was too simple.
Thank you.

This course will open your mind to graphic design to a whole new level. It will make you "think design'. Highly recommend it. The assignments are well thought out too. You will learn-if thats what you want.

I learned so much and not really what I expected. I think I learned more from what I didn't submit than what I did submit: I have about 20 pounds of process work in Trader Joe's bags. Onward to Typography.

I really did enjoy the lessons, the assignments on different views of an object and last one on single contrasts indeed contributed to my creativity practicing. The lecture about patterns was impressive!
