Description

Update June 2020: Added a 90+ page companion PDF and link to the helpful designer toolkit.

In this course we will explore the principles of design theory, why it’s needed and how to apply it to your visual design projects as well as the difference between art and design.

You should take this course if you're starting out in design, need a quick refresher or want a basic understanding of design theory. Also, taking this course will enable you to design confidently.

As a visual designer with more than 10 years experience (designing for companies both big and small) I’ve condensed the knowledge that has helped me in my career and present it simply and casually making design theory easy to grasp for beginners.

Who this course is for:

Beginner visual/graphic designers looking to improve the quality of their work
Front-End Developers that need to understand design theory
