The instructor is difficult to understand at times.

By Emma Raymond on 9/4/2023

I am really struggling to understand the presenter. Have tried captions and transcript but as they are autogenerated, they are also not very clear.

By Linda on 5/17/2023

So far it's a bit of a let down- I know its fundamentals but not very helpful explaining the difference between freelancing and inhouse design... really?

By Suki Frisch on 10/28/2022

I think the course has good information, but it is missing exercises. It would also be helpful to go a bit more in depth. Finally a section on font matching would be great.

By Léonie Marcus on 6/8/2022

This course is very thorough and detailed. An essential course for anyone who is to start a career in graphic design. Bon travail.

By Deepu S on 5/17/2022

Concepts explained clearly. My take away is, Fundamental is must learn before the tools. Design principles and colour theory is must learn concepts.

By Vathan joseph on 5/15/2022
