Laura Keung, you just summarized 5 years of study in a Design School. Thanks a lot !!! Great work ❤

I wish there was a course specifically made for how to use graphics design software. Theory is the easy part, putting it into practice and learning the industry standard software programs is a whole different aspect

[salomeyul]

Not only is this a comprehensive, clear and easy-to-follow course, but also Laura's voice is incredibly soothing and it goes perfectly with the learning process. Thank you!!! I am an architect and even though many of the principles you exposed I already knew, I have a profound respect for graphic design as it is an entirely different universe, and I learned a lot with this video.

Thank you for putting this together for free!

I've seen a countless video of "graphic design basic" and this video really explaining well about graphic design. For the first time in my life, I feel like I found a clarity to understand about "graphic design". Thank you Envato Tuts+ & Laura Keung :)

I wish I watched this at 5 years ago...

I studied and worked in Graphic Design 40 years ago, mostly publishing in magazines. I have worked in the arts since then, but completely missed digitization. Seeking a good tutorial platform to jump back in. Thanks! Your explanation and illustrations of the Principles of Design is elegant!

That is great. I have to watch this course. I am studying Graphic Design after 33 years as accountant and it has been a huge challenge.
