Beginners Guide to Graphic Design (Gareth David Studio)

London designer Gareth David's free series on graphic design theory and practice. After an overview and 'What is Graphic Design?', each episode explains one idea: the visual elements line, colour, shape, texture, space, form and typography, then design principles such as contrast, hierarchy, alignment, balance, proximity and repetition. Later episodes move into how to begin as a designer and the realities of the career. It suits beginners who want solid theory before or alongside software lessons. Pair it with a Photoshop or Illustrator course to apply each principle.
