Instructor Details

Jeremy Deighan

My name is Jeremy Deighan and I am thrilled to be a part of the Udemy team of instructors, helping others achieve their own personal goals. I have had quite the range of skills and hobbies through my lifetime. I really enjoy teaching and hope to provide information to others on anything and everything I know how to do! Please take a moment to check out my courses, and if you take any please leave a review and any feedback you have.
Art and Design
I have an extensive background in different forms of art and design. I have an associates degree in Computer Animation and I've worked with various production houses to create awesome content. Adobe Photoshop has been a staple of my arsenal since I was 16 and use it faithfully to this day.
I also have a history in live visual arts, specifically lighting design for music events, festivals, theaters, and corporate gigs. My passion for the visual arts has helped me become a master in understanding lighting, color theory, and composition.
Music
One of the first things I did as a young lad was learn music. Music is so powerful and one of my favorite things in life. I love playing music, and have played on various instruments; including guitar, bass guitar, drums, and the saxophone.
I feel music can provide so many emotions and feelings, and also has science and mathematical characteristics. It is such a fun topic and I can't wait to begin creating courses on this subject.

This title is misleading. I was expecting a tutorial on how to use canva. It was a nice review of very very basic design theory. Maybe retitle it something like Basic Design Theory using Examples from Canva?

Good instructor, I was expecting something more but it helped with basic things.

By Susan Collins on 4/24/2020

it was good but maybe show a bad choice example with the good one for one of each and then a newbie like me may see the reason what NOT to do better...but I learned lots....thanks

I am learning and able to follow an do at the same time.

I have taken 5 courses on Grafic Design. The courses had content for 12 h and they build a lot of designs. But after the courses i feel completely lost.
This course and Volume 2 didn't flood me with tools and menues, it pointet out the Grafic Desing Theory and showed some really good examples. This was pure Gold - unlike the other courses where the knowlage get applied but don't explained very good.
This course and volume 2 are pure Gold.

Boring stuff. For now. I want to know how to come up with better designs by now.

Well, it contains useful information, but he has other design theory courses that cover similar topic. It's redundancy.

By Jacqueline Lamela on 10/21/2019

This course is very well laid out - back to basics. Great examples, too!

By Vicente Cuellar on 9/13/2019

Es muy bueno, muy bien organizado, pero sera mejor involucrar a los estudiantes con pequeos repasos o pruebas despus de cada cuantas lecciones, o preguntandoles que se recordaban de los conceptos mentalmente.
