Course updates

July 2021: Added a 100+ page companion PDF

In this course, we will explore the basics of visual 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 visual design theory. Also, taking this course and understanding the design principles used when working with design elements will give you the creative confidence that will enable you to explain your design decisions and design confidently.

As a self-taught graphic, UI, UX and visual designer with more than 10 years of experience (designing for companies both big and small and individuals), I’ve condensed the knowledge that will demystify many of the design terms you will come across in the design industry. This has helped me in my career as a designer and I will present it simply and casually, making design theory easy to grasp for beginners. Also, included is 100+ page companion PDF packed with the visual design fundamentals every designer should know.

Along with your lifetime access to this course, you’ll also receive lifetime updates.
