This course is for any designer looking to understand type to improve their layout and design skills.
I learned more about typography in this course than during my BA in graphic design. This gives me confidence that I can make effective layouts and better design of any kind. I also felt I was part of a community, who learned together. Once a week for seven weeks, Chris critiqued our submitted layouts and this motivated us to put knowledge into practice and submit our work. This course is the best investment I've made in myself in becoming a better graphic designer. And I've invested in a lot of courses and books.
This course is for designers, creative entrepreneurs, beginner animators, and video editors who want to increase their value with animation.
After ten years of experience and endless nights, I realized that simplicity is the best approach. When I was working on projects for big brands like Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Adobe, Village Roadshow, Dixons, Hyundai, etc., I learned that clients preferred simple things. Simple solutions reveal confidence. When I was trying to impress clients, I spent hundreds of hours creating animations for their brands, and their feedback was often a bit negative. Those experiences made me think more creatively. This course will show you how to unleash your creativity, impress your clients, and make income!
