Graphic Design Theory - Typography (Udemy.com)

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and took a ton of useful knowledge from it. Martin's delivery is very engaging and enthusiastic! The Graphic Design Theory Series boards on Milanote are a truly amazing comprehensive resource that provides an unbeatable overview that can be referenced anytime one needs it - many thanks to Martin for taking the time to create something so extremely useful!

I learned a lot, and it was overall easy to understand. However, I was hoping for more guidance on alignment compositions regarding typography - especially when it comes to logos and or posters. Also, for the font pairings, I hoped for more specific key details to look out for to ensure you have a good font pairing but I suppose it all comes down to experimentation. But! overall, a good course! :)

I learned so much about typography from this course, and the part about runts, rivers, widows and orphans alone was worth it for my work in marcomms. Learning the science of typography was enormously helpful, especially when I'm reviewing the work of our external graphic designer and offering feedback. The teacher clearly has loads of experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to take a more comprehensive graphic design course from him in the future. Thank you!

I think this was a very useful course. I am looking forward to more indepth lessons about typography. I never knew the history and how much different fonts mattered. Now I can go into a project taking these things into consideration for a design project. I would like to know if there is such a course for applications like Figma, and if we could have a niched course for that.

The course was informative and on point, the author being experienced and aware of the topic overall. Perhaps it was my personal assumption which was a miss, however I was hoping for more typography usage examples in relation to artwork-complementary text (e.g. poster typography, merchandise typography, matching fonts and styles with certain types of media and products from a graphic design perspective).

I went into this course blindly - meaning, I only looked at the title and the short course description. I'm not a graphic designer but wanted to understand the concepts in design, especially in typography. I learned a lot regarding the design theories in visual text. But this course, I learned, wasn't really the one I am looking for as this course dwelled heavily on using graphic design applications. This is useful for people who knew the basics of Adobe Creative Cloud etc, but not for someone like me who only wants practical tips. Having said that, I still enjoyed the course for most of the part. Prolly I will get back and review some topics if ever I decide to try my hands on design using creative cloud.

A great course to get you thinking about how text effects your designs. Also, there was great content on editing options in Indesign that I wasn’t aware of. This will make my layouts from here on out look even better as I apply some of the principles taught in this course to my designs.

It is clear that the instructor knows his stuff and has a deep love of graphic design. I thought I knew a fair amount about typography, and I do, but now I know even more. I don't feel I needed to know about all the keyboard shortcuts, but then I don't work in an office setting where time is a factor. But so much of the knowledge here will help my future designs! Thank you, Martin!

Molte cose le conoscevo già, ma tante precisazioni e trucchetti di indesign per la gestione dell'impaginazione no. Il corso è ben spiegato e preciso, con tanti esempi e risorse, molto interessante anche per ripassare e vedere le solite cose con occhi diversi. Immagino che per un grafico alle prime armi sia essenziale, ma ottimo anche per chi intende essere aggiornato e in linea con il resto.

For me as a beginner, the course was very interesting and I learned a lot. Overall, most of the information was new to me. Lots of examples, cool tips in InDesign and lots of useful shortcuts. Lots of additional materials. I recommend it very much. I will definitely try other design courses.
