Great course! The professor was interesting to listen to, and I loved how hands-on it was. My only complaint, and this is probably more in regards to the system than the course itself, was that once you complete the required activity (Brief or Quiz) each week, you were automatically advanced to the next week, which made it difficult to watch and complete the "bonus" lessons.

Good, quick intro to theory of graphic design. Clear and concise instruction. You should have some knowledge of drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator. If you don't know it, prepare to spend some time on Youtube figuring out how to do some of the projects. This course would be much better if there were some instruction on how to create the images they ask you to create.

I really enjoyed this course however it was not exactly as I had envisioned. Perhaps the issue was that I have taken few graphic design related classes before and this course is for absolute beginners. Therefore, if you have basic knowledge in graphic design and want to do more complex projects, I would recommend a much more advanced course. I still learned plenty though!

You have to start somewhere. As someone who is pursing these certificates for resume purposes but has already done a substantial amount of Graphic Design I found this course to good to refresh some of the basic knowledge I already had but I wish the course dove a little bit deeper into more of the fundamentals. However, I did enjoy the typography week quite a bit.

Very basic, very fundamental. I learned some very basic knowledge in the course. They don't teach how we can use graphic software to quickly start the career but teach some basic and necessary things before we can make any product. If you want to learn systematically, this course is for you. If you want to be a designer immediately after few weeks, never buy this.

It was a thought-provoking experience getting to complete this course. Under such well-composed and procedural guidance, I was able to enjoy all the assignments that'd been given, as they helped develop my understanding and eye for design. I feel that what I learned can be applied in the professional field, though they may need more honing. Thank you very much!

I loved the course, although a point of concern are the peer-reviewed assignments. I have personally experienced a couple of instances where I was judged wrongly by a reviewer because of his misunderstanding of what the assignment really required. If there could be a way to monitor the peer reviews, that would be great. Content and teaching were all amazing!

Very interesting and well done course. If I can suggest, we should have feedback from the professors on our assignments. If this is something impossible, considered the huge amount of persons applying for the course, he should at least check some work and give a feedback in order for us to understand if the works done are made in a correct way or not.

well ,in this weeks its really fun for me and really helpful at least to understand litlle more of graphic design

like just thinking graphic design is just design a logo or a cool letter logo its not just that its more like other ways explicating to you and maybe helping to you what do you wanna know exactly of the differents styles of graphic design.

Great course. The basics are amazing. The videos are explained wonderfully and at a very easy pace. The exercises are perfect. Only thing is you can't send your homework at first because you didn't pay for it. I didn't get any recognition or diploma... :( NOTHING, and that's a little bit sad. Anyhow, the course is wonderful and I learned a lot!!!

This is an amazing course for beginners. This course help you to get a brief knowledge on what is graphic design and the basic element of graphic design . I had no idea about graphic design and designing but now I have it and I'm confident enough that I can be a graphic designer. This course also boosted up my confidence . A must taking course.

I thought this was a great introduction to Graphic Design. The instructor was clear and gave lots of examples. The cases were fun yet challenging your creativity. The only thing I wish could be better is to get feedback on the assignments from the instructor rather than just the students, although their feedback was usually very helpful.

This course was very well designed and extremely suitable for peeps of all backgrounds. I suppose the only drawback was that I didn't find the course challenging enough. But I went to design school for a few semesters, so I was already pretty familiar with the concepts. Overall, very good practice and a nice refresher. Thanks, Michael!

My only criticism about the class is that no actual feedback is given by the instructor or an expert. A lot of the times the peers that reviewed my assignments gave Yes/No answers without any feedback. I wish I could be evaluated even by a mentor at least, even if the class instructor himself is unable to look at the projects.

This is a great intro course for anybody new to the subject. I look forward to expanding my knowledge with the base of information provided here. I also really loved the assignments and the deadlines; I've been trying to learn the fundamentals on my own, but having the structure of this class really helped me to make progress.

Really nice and comprehensible course, with examples that clarify the concepts. Some peer-reviewed assignments are a bit ambiguous and take some extra time to understand, but in overall they are great. The course is not meant to teach in-depth details on how to make great design, but nicely paves the way for further learning.

I found that the content of the course helped me understand the basics of graphic design and experiment with my creativity. I liked reviewing my peers' work as that also helped with the creativity part. I only wish I could have gotten feedback from members with experience in the industry in order to improve myself even more.

I thought the course content was very rudimentary- I would have preferred a bit more in depth material. I was also hoping to learn which programs graphic designers frequently work in. I liked all of the required assignments, but which there were more of them, and that they were graded by the instructor instead of classmates.

I really enjoyed the course the teacher teaching skills is so good and easily understandable, the give us a deep knowledge in each and every topic. i enjoed alott . |Thanks to COURSERA platefrom that make our learning skills upgrated. and also for his supporting team that accept our financial aids to make our learning free.

The lecturer was inspiring and very well spoken. The assignments emphasized the need to create many different iterations which I feel is a valuable habit to understand from the very beginning. In general I felt that I took a lot away from the course that I could easily apply to my work as a game designer / product person.

The course introduces you to the vital basics of graphic design. Sometimes the information provided is not enough for me as a practicing designer, but I guess it would be OK for beginners. Maybe the main thing about the course is that it constantly encourages students to do a lot of design, and it's definitely inspiring.

This course will teach you the basic skills of graphic design perfectly. It was insightful to see all the different techniques which I was able to use at my current employment straight away. I recommend you take this course because after each lesson, you will be able to use what you've learned quickly and effectively.

I liked the course. A lot of useful information that is well structured. But there is one drawback. This is the assessment of fellow students, which cannot be disputed. This score affects the final score. Unfortunately, there is no way to protect yourself from the unscrupulous behavior of a classmate, if there is one.

I think the course is good, although I think some concepts are not clear, it is not easy to understand when your mother tongue is not English, outside of that, it is a very general context. I mean the explanations of the tasks and exercises, the rules were not clear to me, what was requested, how it was evaluated.

I loved the course very much. As a beginner, I found it very clear and interesting as it covered all the basics! The only thing I struggled with is understanding some of the assignments! I would recommend adding a visual example of what is to be expected with instructions to be creative and think outside the box.
