What you'll learn
Strengthen your graphic design ability by understanding, applying and enjoying the principles of great design. Own the keys to designing better, faster.
Discover the unique design foundational platform that has traditionally been reserved only for the most elite and successful private schools and colleges.
Be better able to understand what separates great design work from the everyday, while doing more of the former and less of the latter.
Develop greater confidence. Understanding a “WOW” moment beyond just the experience alone, can pay dividends going forward.

Requirements
Beginning level familiarity with digital tools such as Photoshop (recommended), Illustrator or InDesign would be required for the maximum benefit. Selection tools, layers, levels, blending modes familiarity would be a good base. Traditional analog tools and materials, including paper, pencil, glue stick, camera, and copier could be used on the exercises as well.

Description
Imagine taking one design class with the potential of transforming all of your future design classes into far more interesting and dynamic pathways of learning. Design Principles are the gateway to making graphic design less of a mystery and more of an approachable, enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Many have already found this course's predecessor,
Graphic Design: Unity and Rhythm Master Class
, to have been a game changer.
No prerequisites. Entry-level digital knowledge or traditional media are fine. Binge all 45 videos. Geek out on the 40 exercises. The five self-exams that will enlighten and reinforce.
Being a good graphic design implies that you’re already a good designer. It’s not about where you live or where you were born, or who you know or which designers you like. It’s all about thinking visually and not just about creating sweet digital magic. It’s about the entire composition and not just about one zone. All things affect everything else.
Many of the key foundational principles that used to take up to 18 months of intense, institutionalized study can now be yours to discover and enjoy in dramatically far less time, leaving more time to dive deeper into your downstream studies and with greater effectiveness.
