The 6 Design Dimensions of Fonts

Helping you to know 'how to choose relevant fonts for your design'.

Impressions & Emotional Responses Caused By Fonts

Develop practical software skills in Photoshop & Illustrator and create impressive projects with my easy to follow, very detailed tutorials. Even if you are a beginner, you will become comfortable using the software interfaces, learn the tools and techniques to create designs.

Learning to use Photoshop & Illustrator alone does not make you a graphic designer. Being able to design some business cards & brochure layouts would have been helpful ten years ago. This course teaches you the software skills and dives deeper into evolving your mind into a more sophisticated, open & creative thinker. Growing your mind to understand how to 'make your design talk' to the relevant audience is key to being a graphic designer instead of 'someone who can make something pretty in photoshop'.

Appreciate that a good graphic designer needs to be knowledgable of 'who' they are designing for. Theoretical knowledge includes communication skills between graphic designer and client, between employer and team. Use theories in font selection, composition, colour theory, consumer psychology, marketing and design in history to develop mature artistic judgement, imagination, become self-driven to be able to motivate your team.
