Course Description: Are you tired of learning Corel Draw or Photoshop tricks without understanding how to apply the software to real design? Or maybe you just want to understand what really is design and how can you become a real designer?
Design goes way beyond software and there is a lot of theory behind it. In this introductory course, you will learn the basics needed to create amazing and real design.
For this course, you won't need any sort of equipment or specific software. "Why? Isn't design just Photoshop?" you may ask, to which I answer "No, my dear reader! It is not!". By understanding the process behind what real designers do and understand, you will also be able to see what makes good design. Why is that logo appealing? Why does that poster grab my attention? How is it that I can understand that ad, even though nothing is written on it? After participating in this course, you'll finally understand more of design and gain the ability to see the world in a different way.
From the history of communication to the basics principles of design, if you really want to learn design this is the perfect course for you!
