Graphic Design

Graphic Design is a creative process that combines text and graphics to communicate an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and other types of visual communication. Coursera's Graphic Design catalogue helps you master the concepts and software that every designer must know. You'll learn about design principles and theoretical concepts which are crucial for creating effective visual communication. Additionally, you will gain hands-on experience with various tools and techniques for print and digital designs, such as Adobe Creative Suite, typography, color theory, designing for multiple mediums, and the impact of design on branding. This skill is a must-have whether you're a professional artist, an aspiring designer, or someone interested in the visual communication field.
