great synopsis and content
i am enjoying this course and answering most of my questions
Der erste Teil des Kurses ist sehr interessant und bietet alle Informationen und HintergrĂĽnde, die ich erwartet habe. Im zweiten Teil wird sehr viel wiederholt und oftmals ist mir nicht klar gewesen, was der Mehrwert der Lektionen genau sein soll. Leider wird auch die durchgehend eingesetzte Hintergrundmusik mit der Zeit sehr nervig.
Great is showing how to make a picture pop
Great course if you need a quick intro to Graphic Design, filled with tips and examples. You can definitely come back to it periodically to refresh ideas no matter your skill level.
Great course, loved the the precise and detailed examples. I already did a lot of Graphic Design courses, had quite a bit of education on the subject but some chapters like paterns, textures and many others did go behind the basics. I liked both graphic design, video and marketing only thing I don't see this course as particulary tailored to video design. More of a general / indepth course on Graphic Design / Visual Communication course. It's packed with so much content, I like the approach of sources for more information maybe add an pdf with all the links. And maybe an chapter about - Design 4 Video Editors (like making titles, different intro's animations , taking a look at graphics in video's, movies etc.
It's an old course, but it's packed with useful information on Graphic Design.
This course provided excellent educational value, while remaining entertaining. The visual elements strongly supported the instruction in what turned out to be a very sound introduction to the basics of design. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a foothold in the visual design field.

Pros: If your formal/informal education doesn't have much exposure to "Art Appreciation" or to visual art this will be an excellent starting point!
Cons: The presenter is lit by two spotlights that reflect in her eyes. This is distracting. It is midway through the presentation before she shows any delight in what she is talking about. Blinking eyelid "bookends" are still distracting even after seeing them all through the course.
Conclusion: I was and am VERY happy with the exposure to Visual Design I am getting.
