This course truly is a capstone project. It wonderfully brings all the previous courses together and helps you understand how each element taught throughout the courses interacts in the larger scheme of things. As a person who knew nothing of Graphic Designing, I can vouch for the fact that if someone is interested in creating REAL projects, the entire course is going to be a blessing. It will make you get your hands dirty and you will be able to experience design from a wholistic point of view

It has been a great course. I learnt a lot. This is all what you need to learn about Graphic Designing. Loved it. Thanks to all the people involved in making of this amazing course. Special thanks to all my peers who helped me improve my designing skills through their genuine and detailed feedback on all of my assignments. I highly recommend this specialization course to each and everyone regardless of whether or not you are planning to dabble into the field of graphic designing.

It was a real pleasure to learn and put those things in practice. It is not that you learn in this course how the program works, but you learn how graphic designers thinking and what the rules are if you want to be one. Still, if you really want to do this as a professional career then you have to take this course seriously and put a lot of work into it. After it, you have learned a lot and from here your journey will continue if you stay focus and learn more and more about it.

This was a fantastic capstone. I learned more during this course than the other four combined! The key to success is to make sure you finish each week's work on time (it can be easy to get behind since you only receive peer review/feedback, and not actual grades). Week 4 is definitely the most time-intensive, and it's nice to be able to use the last week to finesse the project. Overall, it's fantastic!

The course content was comprehensive and covered a wide range of graphic design principles and techniques. It started with the basics and gradually progressed to more advanced topics. I appreciated the structured approach, which helped me build a solid foundation. However, there were a few areas where I wished for more in-depth exploration, especially in advanced design software.

The course offers a complete vision of what any graphic designer starting in this field must know and understand to face the challenges of design according to the past, present and future trends. We started from scratch by devising a brand and it was built and perfected along the way, which at the end of the day is the natural process of any design, no matter how small or large.

The whole Graphic Design Specialization is great. Of course this last part is the one I enjoyed the most as I could put into practice all the skills learned and developed throughout this specialization. All the helpful videos and examples, the guided steps... I just had so much fun! I will definitely used this as a guideline to develop my future projects and build my portfolio.

It is an amazing course to learn Graphic Designing with a systematic methodology and logical approach. It cleared all my concepts and I learned how to integrate everything I learned during my journey toward specialization. I am confident now to take up any kind of assignment in Graphic Designing. I am grateful to Coursera and Cal Art for such a wonderful course.

I really enjoyed this course. I have learned so much from completing this course and the others in the specialization. I didn't know anything about graphic design when I started, but I found that the courses made it easy to learn these new skills. The videos provided for each week were very informative and the assignments were set out well and fun to complete.

As the this guided me in making my capstone project, I find this course to be very helpful and useful. It provided clear and understandable instructions and samples while encouraging me to come up with my own, unique ideas. I am grateful for this course, as my project somehow gives me a certain boost of confidence as I make it a part of my design portfolio.

This course is just fantastic. It is well paced and very informative. There is also room for all levels of proficiency. It has changed the way I see visual arts and branding. I am now more aware of the history and the motivation of this discipline. I would recommend this course to anybody who is interested in learning how to enter or continue in this field!

This class was fantastic and after completing the previous courses in the Graphic Design Specialization through Cal Arts, Brand New Brand brought all the elements together. Michael Worthington is a great teacher, makes things very easy to understand but also challenges you to think in new ways! While this was a demanding class, I learned a great deal!

The course has an excellent project that will let students apply previous courses' lessons, hands-on and creative. I find the break down of the guides, pointers, and lessons in the videos are very helpful in figuring out what to do with my own project. The final output can also be a great addition to a design portfolio. Thank you for this course.

This course provided me with an opportunity to work on developing a brand. Step by step, the components of a brand were added and a vibe of the aesthetics of the brand came out visually. Michael Worthington guided very well to implement a long yet exciting project that expressed all the learning of the past courses of this specialization.

Im almost finishing the course andI think is such a cool oportunity to put into work all the things thatI learnt trhough the 4 courses. It gives you the chance to go to the next level and start thinking about design as a cohesive way because you are creating the identity of a brand. Very challenging and well explained, totally recomended.

It has been such an informative and intuitive course. I am so thankful to our Professor for making us understand the importance of Graphic Design throughout this Specialisation and then to actually Develop a Brand through this course. These 6 weeks were amazing and hopefully I was able to experiment a lot with Graphics and ideas.

I really enjoyed how practical this capstone was, and I thought that the videos alongside the optional peer reviews were very helpful to get to the finished result. I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe that it helped me to gain more knowledge for creating a Brand Development process and the documentation to go alongside that.

A really nice way to wrap up this specialisation - by showcasing just about everything you've learnt throughout the other four courses. Everything is easy to follow, as well as understand. It shows the step-by-step process to achieving something amazing at the end - with some options for your own ideas and additions :)

Absolutely loved this course. It was a great experience. The speakers were good designers who shared their vision from beginning to end. I do it just for a few weeks, and I am happy to receive my certificate. I will recommend who wants to learn Graphic Designer to once get into this course. Thank you, Calarts!

hi guys , i recommend this course to everyone he want to discover his ability in graphic design

there is a lot of challenge,practice and more fun in this course, that help you to know more than your expect about visual thinking

when you see your brand in finally, you will feel be more confidence about yourself

Michael is not only a subject matter expert who knows what he's doing, he's also an engaging and detail-oriented lecturer. From taking this course, I am reminded of the fact that teachers often make or break your learning experience. In this case it was all positive with Michael for this capstone class.

Overall I really enjoyed these courses for the Graphic Design Specialization. My only recommendation or thought is that I wish that it wasn't just peer reviewed whenever we submitted a project, but that we would also get feedback from the teacher as well. Other than that, great classes and informative.

I loved working on this course specially the final project. Thank you for providing such content & learning platform to the aspirants world wide. The best aspect about this course is that anyone from any stream who is interested in graphic design specialization can take it up with lot of ease.

Its a great course. This is something that we can carry as a project portfolio. It gives us more nuggets of a growing brightest side of of Graphic designing. Brands are good but to make it great it takes big part of a graphic designer how the way they think and put things together.

It is an excellent course to develop and complete the entire brand process. I really enjoyed it and learned from all the courses and the process was very rewarding. I am grateful to the teachers who guided and the students who gave me feedback. Gratitude for taking this course.
