Learner Reviews & Feedback for Basic Elements of Design: Design Principles and Software Overview by University of Colorado Boulder
About the Course
manipulate photos using Photoshop. A designer is a visual storyteller, a person who pairs words with images and typography to best convey
information to an audience. Good design evokes emotion and presents the news of the day with clarity and the proper tone. A business card,
brochure, or website that has good design provides content that is more inviting, more easily comprehensible and is faster to process. Design
isn’t about “making it look pretty,” it’s also about content, layout and audience analysis.
