So far, it's very easy to understand and explains the course very well. However, the interface of Canva used in the videos seems to be an older version, since it looks quite a bit different. Nevertheless, I can still find certain features on my own in the newer GUI of Canva.

This Udemy course is easy to follow and understand, but you still learn enough new stuff that it’s best to take notes. 10/10 definitely recommend this course for people trying to learn how to graphic design. Whether it’s for business or just for fun this course is for you!!

this course is a beginner friendly, and awesome. I feel like I'm good to go in graphic design. My only issue is that it was hard to navigate some stuff in my canva app (phone); cause the interface is different from the one on the PC.

Nice short Canva course. Already self taught some of the things shown but still learnt a few new things. I'm disappointed that I couldn't get the free SEO ebook, there was no option for the code given. Would still recommend this course though. Thank you

Rien à dire concernant la manière d'expliquer. Les termes utilisés sont compréhensible pour des débutants et autres. Je n'ai rien appris mais sans doute ai-je un niveau trop élevé pour ce cours. Le soucis est dans l'intitulé du cours et dans le manque d'explication sur le pourquoi tel design serait meilleur ou pourquoi faut-il choisir telle couleur plutôt qu'une autre en fonction du produit à fournir. Je pensais avoir un cours sur le graphic design et je me retrouve sur un cours sur comment utiliser Canva. En soi c'est bien de montrer comment l'utiliser mais alors expliquez les raisons pour lesquelles par exemple : tel logo correspondrait mieux à tels types de société ou telle typographie est plus impactante niveau visibilité, etc. Expliquez nous ce qu'est le Graphic design en général, quelques notions même basique ou simplement changez le titre pour éviter d'autres confusions. Je trouve cela dommage car cela m'a induite en erreur et je n'aurais pas choisi cela pour ça en sachant, même si c'était gratuit.

The course if fantastic, im really looking a beginner course where the focus is more practice rather than theory, at the same building up my portfolio so after basic and advanced courses there is output that I did. Overall 10/10

It's not so much an introduction to graphic design course as a "How to navigate Canva and use their pre-made templates" course. I already know how to use Canva. I was looking for something with more theory behind what makes a design good and why and something more advanced than videos rehashing the basic features of a basic design program.

Since I'm going into the web and graphic design field, I thought that this would be a great beginner course to take, and it was. I was unfamiliar with Canva before, but I am quickly getting proficient in using the graphic design platform. The lessons are short but helpful, and they encourage you to try Canva out for yourself and to get comfortable with the program.

This is a class focused on different things you can do in canva.com. Personally, I never used canva before and I found it helpful. In the course you get to see examples of how to make different banners and posters and other. Fair for a free course. Thank you!

This course is basically a Canva tutorial on how to create social media content such as basic logos, banners, flyers and post ads. If you're looking for real graphic design course, it should be taught with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for a more professional approach. If it's for personal use, this would be a good option for you. Besides that the instructor is very informative.
