Those with very basic skills in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. You already may be familiar with the pen tool basics understand the layering system and know a few other basic tools. You have a little experience using these programs and have a solid basic working knowledge of these programs.
Or you have taking my Graphic Design Masterclass:
Learn Great Design, the first in this masterclass series, although taking this class is not a requirement to join on this one, just those basic software skills. But this class Is a natural next intermediate step.
This is a practical design course meant to teach you techniques and skills by producing real world projects. We will first talk about intermediate techniques when it comes to Adobe Photoshop, like diving deep with removing complex objects from photos and using the content aware tools. We then will talk about photo composites and put two totally different photos together using curves and other more intermediate Photoshop tools. We will brush up on your brush tool in Photoshop to learn how to paint on realistic shadows that can be applied to a variety of situations. We quickly get into real world projects by tackling a fast food burger ad that is both dynamic and helps us practice working with typography, headlines and effects in Adobe Photoshop. This course includes a fairly large logo design section. We talk about the power of sketching our ideas on paper or in a digital sketching app. This course even includes an extensive downloadable logo design worksheet and we will work through the entire logo design process with the help of this worksheet. We talk about client presentation, when to present to clients, color and even exporting files.
The golden ratio is a great intermediate logo design concept to master and we will do just that in this course. Speaking of grids we will not stop there, we talk all about the isometric grid system and work through an entire project using isometric grids to create a realistic 3D illustration. New to this course is an intermediate InDesign section. We will walk through the creation of a magazine spread and cover and talk in more depth about creating strong editorial designs, headlines and crafting compelling stories with photos. Infographics is a tough topic for designers and can have a steep learning curve, I thought it would make for the perfect project to work through together in this extensive section. We will walk through topics about how to legally and safely use fonts photos and downloadable vector resources as this is impotent to any maturing designer. Knowing how to craft effective ads is a great quality to have and can help you have more success as a designer, we will talk about how to create effective advertising as well as work through an entire social media campaign. There are tons of extra project sections including one on creating a poster using just typography. Package design is another great intermediate topic and we will go in-depth about the package design process including how to work with files, set them up and create a rich looking package design for a chocolate bar. Graphic design is more than just creating projects it also about finding work and clients. I have included an entire portfolio building section where we talk about how to create stunning portfolio presentations and how to build them online and offline. I hope you decide to join me for this incredible journey through lots of fantastic intermediate design topics, projects and more. The Ready for the next Level? This course is dynamic, so new lessons and bonus content will be added frequently!

The course was amazing. I definitely learned a lot more than i already know. I will surely try to take up the freelance course next. Thank you Lindsay for such an elaborate course and great explanations.

By Angela Dias on 9/21/2020

loved it! There were some repetition on a couple of lessons from the first two courses I bought, and I'm sure there will be more as I have 6 more of your courses, but the repetition might not be such a bad thing.
I love the way you explain things in a way that anyone can understand!
Thanks for sharing your life lessons!

By Kylie Nolan on 10/1/2020

Great course. It goes into more detail on how to go freelance and has a big focus on this side of Graphic Designing, but if you are just looking for the basics I think the first class Graphic Design Masterclass is definitely enough to get those extra little hints and tips.

By Kansha Guna on 9/21/2020

Loved the course! I am a newbie to graphic design. By the end of it I've managed to actually feel like a graphic designer and gain immense confidence. The instructor teaches things in an understandable and practical way. I now have a new set of skills that goes well for me as a designer and web developer.

Definitely ! this course by Lindsay is a total match. Although I'm now at the intermediate level. As Lindsay suggests I will follow-up and find a separate beginners course In Design in order to focus on some basic details. Thank you very much to Lindsay Marsh & Udemy ! You are the best match.
