    A lot of things about the fundamentals and principles are forgotten while practicing design in our day-to-day life. This one proves to be a refresher with great examples. It talked about the elements - shapes and forms, it talks about the colour theory - complimentary etc, and it also talks about the principles like focal point, harmony, contrasts, repition etc

    Excellent course as it offers great advice and guidance that is very helpful for applying in real world scenarios. It's great to have a course that focuses on effective design and gives critiques of what works well and what doesn't work in terms of design assets and layouts. I particularly like the videos which demonstrate a how to convert a poor example of design and transform it into a very good design.
