This course gave me exactly what I needed—clear, no-fluff lessons on color, typography, and layouts. The examples made everything easy to apply, and I now approach design with a much better understanding of what works and why.

Michael R, Junior Web Designer

I used to rely on intuition rather than solid design principles, which led to inconsistent work. This course gave me a structured approach, and now I understand how to create designs that are both functional and visually appealing.

Sophie L, Junior Graphic Designer
