My first graphic design course. The course is well explained. The course corver aspects about graphic design. I learned a lot with this course. Highly recommended.

By Alexandria Gregory on 8/5/2020

The course has helped me to learn the things I didn't know I didn't know. I work as a newspaper designer and there are a lot of things that I do, but didn't know why I did them until this course. Now I can use that methodology in other ways. Really helps me to carry my design skills over to freelance work.

I really like the course, it was very informative and every chapter is structured and thought in simple way to understand. Thank you very much Lindsay for such a great course! I am definitely going to do other courses as well to master my skills.

By Shweta Yadav on 8/7/2020

Overall it was good since I got to know a lot of stuff I wasn't aware of. It felt more like a trailer of main course than the actual one. So it could've been cheaper than detailed course. But its good for a beginner who isn't familiar with the field.

By Suvam Kumar Shaw on 7/23/2020

I learned theories and how to apply them in my designs that helped me to improve my designs. Thank you so much Lindsay for this amazing course.

By Saud Sian on 11/14/2020

Amazing course for a beginner. Other courses here on Udemy talk a lot and I have to skip through to get to the actual information. This course doesn't do that, I end up watching all the video without skipping.

By Dana DeRidder on 10/11/2020

I have always loved art and photography. Taking a new step in life to learn graphic design. This course was great for me. Starting with the basics and going into what is going on in 2020. Looking forward to starting the next class.

Its a great course, I learned so much. I love GD, Im designer for job experience, not for college and finally I could learn the theory. Im going to take the logo design and adobe masterclass courses.

By Nataya Lee on 8/20/2020

Definitely learned a lot about graphic design! The instructors did an awesome job breaking the fundamentals of design! Highly Recommend!

By Pablo Miranda on 8/10/2020

I absolutely love the visuals, tone of voice, staying on track with the course and energy. Exactly what I was looking for in an online course!

By Josue Timolien on 9/8/2020

Great class ... although felt like a huge Adobe commercial. Also, wish they would spend a bit more time with app design and web design as the future is moving more towards the digital space. None the less the concepts and info that is being taught is useful and great for beginners and possibly intermediate designers. Concise and to the point. Some helpful links and suggested tools both free and paid. Good pace! I would recommend if you are not advanced in design.
