About this course

A short, clearly animated introduction to design from GCFGlobal's LearnFree channel, a non-profit education programme. The lessons cover design fundamentals, typography, colour, layout and composition, working with images, and branding and identity. Each one is brief and uses simple examples, so it suits complete beginners, students and small business owners who make their own flyers or social posts. It is a good first step before a longer theory series such as Gareth David Studio, or before learning Canva, Photoshop or Illustrator.

Before you start: No prior experience needed.
