Review of Graphic Design Course
This course was a great introduction to graphic design for a total beginner such as myself. It gives a thorough impression of the kind of work you’ll be doing and how to go about pursuing a field in this career.
People should be awar though that no detail is gone into about any of the practical work of being a designer but is covered in different courses.
