  • I recently completed the Introduction to Graphic Design with Photoshop course. While the course provides a solid foundation, I found it to be a bit basic for someone with prior design experience. The content is well-organized, covering key Photoshop tools and basic design principles. However, the depth of instruction felt somewhat limited at times, and I was hoping for more advanced tips or real-world application projects. It’s a good starting point for beginners, but more experienced learners may find it a little too introductory. Overall, decent for newcomers, but could benefit from more advanced insights
  • أكملتُ مؤخرًا دورة "مقدمة في التصميم الجرافيكي باستخدام فوتوشوب". مع أن الدورة تُقدم أساسًا متينًا، إلا أنني وجدتها بسيطة بعض الشيء لمن لديه خبرة سابقة في التصميم. المحتوى مُنظم جيدًا، ويغطي أدوات فوتوشوب الرئيسية ومبادئ التصميم الأساسية. مع ذلك، شعرتُ أحيانًا أن عمق التعليمات محدود، وكنتُ آمل في الحصول على نصائح أكثر تقدمًا أو مشاريع تطبيقية عملية. إنها نقطة انطلاق جيدة للمبتدئين، ولكن قد يجدها الدارسون الأكثر خبرةً تمهيديةً بعض الشيء. بشكل عام، الدورة جيدة للمبتدئين، ولكن قد تستفيد من رؤى أكثر تقدمًا.

    This design course is fairly good for beginners. It covers the basic concepts in a clear and simple way, which makes it easy to follow even if you don’t have much experience. The instructor explains the lessons step-by-step and provides useful examples that help you understand the fundamentals of design.
    However, some parts of the course could be more detailed, especially for learners who want to go deeper into professional design tools and advanced techniques. Still, it is a good starting point for anyone who wants an introduction to design, and it helps build a solid foundation to continue learning.

    I was thrilled to receive the full introductory graphic design course. The process went smoothly, and I feel like I've made significant progress.Now I'm eager to dive into more advanced techniques. I'm particularly interested in learning about typography and color theory. Are there any modules or resources you would recommend that focus on these areas? I'm also curious about the software commonly used in the industry. I've been experimenting with a few free options, but I'm open to exploring professional tools if they offer significant advantages. Thanks again for the comprehensive introduction!
