Clear and engaging

Lorin Wilson

Good hook! Clarity of speech and sharp image. If the rest of the course (and, especially Piktochart!) are this good, I'm glad I found the resource!

I'm grateful for this course for giving me greater confidence and knowledge to start creating templates from scratch when I need to. I am not a natural designer so the information about use of colour, layouts and fonts in particular were really helpful. I'm looking forward to putting my new found skills into practise.

This is a good basic overview of how to design things. I'm glad that there were transcripts of the video content, since that's what I prefer. I like the quizzes and the final exam. The content was a little basic, but it's titled fundamentals so that makes sense. I'd love to see more advanced topics in a similar format!

The key principles have been briefly and closely stated, illustrated with examples, and a demonstration of how Pictochart can do this. The exam “forces” to try everything and it's the most valuable benefit because this way the skills are strengthened. Thank you. I'm looking forward to the next course at the academy!
