For an imagemaking course, the focus should be on making imagery in regards to creativity, concepts, and execution. There did not seem to be enough of these in the course, and the assignments were often confusing to follow. Overall, it's a decent course, but I did not learn nearly as much as I had hoped.

I enjoyed the assignments for the most part, but the instructor is a bit confusing when laying out the requirements. Once you turn the assignment in and start reviewing other people, you see that she wanted you to answer specific questions that were not listed on the actual assignment.

I had a bit more expectations about the course, I really liked the Fundatmentals of design and the lector, for me it was a bit more fluid and understandable. I suggest some theory to be included in this one.

Still I learned a lot about composition and narrative. Thank you!

Great course, but it takes a little bit more time that estimated. Teacher is a very good and inspiring. However the peer feedback is really poor. It would be nice if the teacher could also give some feedback (for example just in one exercise).

Would have liked to have more assignments and content on imagemaking rather than a focus on making a book. I feel like I got just as much imagemaking experience from the intro to graphic design course offered by Cal Arts.

This course was fun.

I think a few things that made this course challenging for me was the instructions for the assignments. I also think that my "classmates" misunderstand the grading rubrics.

Thank you, I learned a lot!

I think some of the instructions were a little vague and open for me, and it was hard to figure out what the end products were supposed to be. I did like that it helped me learn how to jump into InDesign.

3.5 - Did not enjoy this course as much as the others in this group, found a lot of the exercises quite repetitive and due to lockdown I did not have access to enough materials to experiment successfully.

This course didn't really seem to go into any more detail than the overview in the fundamentals to graphic design course. There was very little guidance and instructions were a little confusing at times

Some of these projects were good because they offered ways to stretch my knowledge of different software, but I do not feel as though I learned very much from the provided content.

Most of the instructions were very vague and difficult to understand. I think it would be very helpful to examples of the assignments instead of having to blindly

The lectures were just incredibly drab and boring. Im sure Gail is a nice lady but she couldnt be any less compelling of a speaker if she tried

This course wasn't as well structured as the previous ones in the specialization. The assignments had problematic instructions

Pretty weak teaching - "maybe you can place objects in this order, or maybe in this order". No any clear logics.

It's an interesting course, but a little bit open. Some activities will take too long if you're perfectionist.

The content of this module is good, however I think It's very complicated to depend on student's reviews only.

The least informative course from the CalArts Specialization, I was disappointed with this one.

please try putting in more videos with methods rather than case studies and reading texts.

Fun course but everything was already covered on the Fundamentals Of Graphic Design Course.

This course is good, although it repeats a lot from the Fundamentals of Graphic Design.

General and basic overview of image-making techniques and strategies.

kinda too basic for me....but it would be a good course for beginners

good course but need a lil more resource. thank you

Very poor instructions and not enough theory.

课程的内容不太具体，在这个专项课程里算是有点薄弱的一节
