It was a great course, but I feel like the CC part wasn't so well defined and it should have more typography exercises in general. They were too similar to one another.

I will start with a compliment, as I very much can sense that the instructor IS a knowledgeable person who understands typography and I appreciate that and I will be able to glean some valuable information from him. But, I have been somewhat disappointed in the course. I've only just started the course and some of the links provided either don't work or I'm not given access to, such as lesson #14 of Section 1, for example. Another reference looked like it could have some very interesting information, but when I clicked on the link, my browser said it was not a secure web page, so I couldn't risk going there. I also appreciate that a person who doesn't have English as a first language may have an accent that makes it a little more difficult to understand, and there can be issues with sequence of words. I admit his English is much better than my trying to speak a foreign language, as I have NO foreign language skills. But, I find there are times I have difficulty grasping the point he is trying to make, and I have to go online or to a book to find other references to cover that area of the lecture, because I'm not "getting" what is being said (for example the topics of the calculations of leading). There were also some typographic errors that weren't caught throughout. I'm trying to stress the instructor seems to be very intelligent and has knowledge on the topic, but because of the issues I'm encountering, I'm thankful I got the course during a sale.

Very good course. This course tells you about the practical and modern way of making webpages with format and typography as the focus. The only problem is that sometimes he talks to fast or goes overs things without properly explaining small actions he does. But overall a very good course would recommend for anyone starting out with formatting a webpage.

Packed with valuable information that's very easy to follow along with. For someone like me who is self-taught this has helped me improve my web design and overall designs tremendously. I highly encourage anyone who wants to improve their design work to take this course. It has information for beginners all the way to those that are fairly experienced and just want a refresher. I highly recommend this course.

This course is a real gem. It goes into a lot of detail about the rules of design using typography. I always wondered why my text documents did not look balanced and now I know why and more importantly I know how to balance them.

The course is so beneficial I used it to design a good post for my customers with perfect image and color. But, I had flak in my design where I could not spot it out. But now, the design flow and my work have got better and, they look perfect every time I see them. I'm delighted to find this course.
