An ok course for beginners. A bit too basic for someone who has already had experience in design, but is great anyway cause it breaks things back down to the simplest parts to help you remember roots.

Very great course to start designing. It helped me become bolder in creating contrasts in my work. Great for anyone interested in graphic design, or anything like bullet journalling, cooking, etc.

Maybe too basic sometimes. But the teacher explains everything in a very good way. The platform works amazingly.

The only thing I would say is that clarity of instructions was sometimes difficult to follow. Otherwise, great!

In addition to peer reviews it would be great to get feedback from a graphic design professor or professional.

The course itself was great. The only thing lacking is that all the assignments were reviewed only by peers.

Great content. Only problem is the learner community isn't particularly active, and reviews are pretty poor.

I thought the exercise of 10 images was a good intro to thinking of different ways to represent an object.

Basic but good course. The optional assignments should be required to rise the course level and feedback.

I loved this course, even though (for me), some things were quite repetitive and unnecessarily lengthy.
