Graphic Design Theory - Unity & Harmony
Description
This is a great course for you if you want to make better designs!
Unity and harmony may be one of the more ambiguous subjects in graphic design, but their practical understanding often means that subtle difference between an unexciting, average design and one that is just mesmerizing to everyone.
In this course we’ll master techniques and principles that will serve you for life. Non-designers will not be able to tell you why they find your designs so good…it will just simply work.
You will be able to create seamless visual unity effortlessly, staying consistent and harmonious across your compositions. You will be able to add exciting visual flow to your work, that directs your viewers' eyes to the right places.
Who would benefit from this course
We live in a world where people consume visual information almost constantly throughout the day. Learn how to capture viewers' attention and keep them engaged by creating dynamic compositions that stand out.
As a graphic designer, freelance or in-house, your ability to create eye-stopping visuals, elite brochures and menus, and attention grabbing covers will set you apart from the crowd.
If you want to be an elite UX and Web designer then this course is a must for you. All the terms and theories discussed in this course apply to digital design, web design and user experience design.
The principles we learn here are universal and extremely valuable in all creative fields.
What we will cover in this course
Master techniques for unifying your compositions so you can establish visual harmony
Create intriguing dynamics using repetition, motifs and visual tempo
Become proficient in using the different types of rhythms (ie. random, alternating, flowing, progressive)
Use framing masterfully to link elements of your design to each other
Create clever containers and holding devices within your composition to reinforce the visual hierarchy and help your viewers digest the information
Use professional grouping techniques to balance areas of harmony and areas of contrast
Utilize regular and irregular patters in your designs to activate negative space and make your compositions more dynamic
Learn to use variety to create dynamic, exciting compositions that is impossible to look away from
And much more…
This course fits greatly into the existing parts of my Design Theory Series, particularly to the Psychology of Design and Color & Contrast.
Mastering theory through examples
Similarly to the previous Theory courses, I will demonstrate everything we learn with real life examples.
You will learn a lot from these, and find the course really fun, inspiring and easy to follow.
About me and my new Graphic Design Theory Series
Unity & Harmony is the 4th part of my Graphic Design Theory Series and represents the essence of my 15+ years of teaching graphic design, and 20+ years of working as a freelance designer at the highest level.
I was fortunate to teach more than a 100.000 students worldwide and was voted as one of the 5 best Adobe instructors of the World. Here in Udemy, some of my courses are all time best sellers and are considered the best in their category.
The challenge of teaching Design Theory is that everything is related, and I have a very effective and unique approach to explore this amazing subject in an enjoyable, easy to understand manner, that will help you to build deep understanding in it fast.
If you are passionate in Graphic Design this course will bring you much joy and creative fulfillment! A lot of new ideas to play with, a lot of great styles to explore.
Let us explore it together!
