The course is great for both beginners and designers looking to refresh their knowledge on fundamentals. It also does a great job of introducing and familiarizing Adobe Express as a design tool.

the policy for these course is not ethical. they will only let you go forward if you pay for it. ut, i have a monthly member ship and I have to wait the next bill cycle t to move on in the course. but, i can pay to get my certification early. people who doesn't see the wrong in this?

not much practical information.. basically a tutorial to how to use adobe express which you have to purchase after 3 months trial version, the only interesting thing was the color theory

Built a stronger foundation in design principles for content creation. Fun to learn and breezed through the lessons and quizzes. UPDATE: In this updated MODULE 1, my favorite new addition was the Dialogue Coach. It allowed me to put more thought into my answers and received constructive feedback.

Great introductory course. Although I was familiar with a lot of the content, I was still able to get a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of design.

A very professional and well-structured course! Pleasant video editing and design. It was very helpful to learn about different templates in Adobe Express, as well as size adjustments for different social media. Special thanks to the charismatic instructors! Thank you for your hard work!

I absolutely loved this course this is exactly what I needed. Adobe can do so much and it seems overwhelming and this was the perfect course to help me understand a lot of the tools as well as provide a foundation in design.

Many other free design tools exist without requiring credit card information. Offering a truly free version would make Adobe Express more appealing to students. Coursera and Adobe team should think about it.

Loved it, but a bit basic! Also it should be called Adobe Express course, in my case I love to design with Canva or Figma, so this is more like a course to promote Adobe Express

I learned a lot of great things about adobe express and had a good recap on design fundamentals i learned in college. I do think the course is a bit too "hands off" and I would have liked it if there was a dedicated professor or instructor involved with the course.

Too much Adobe Express stuff. I understand it's a very complete and useful tool but I think other important tools should have been mentioned as well.

Great content, well explained. Not user friendly or intuitive. I found trying to locate the syllabus and due dates difficult and aggravating.

This course had a good explanation Design Fundamentals, but it ended there. When it came to using Adobe Express, I felt like the course spent too much time selling Express and less time actually teaching me how to navigate the app. They explained more of telling you what you CAN do and LESS time on how to do each task. I found myself on my own most of the time trying to find features where I should have been led in step by step instructions on the navigation. Also some things were outdated and when it did tell where a feature is, it didn't exist there. I have been in many lessons and am accostomed to more guided practice. You could not see the examples in the lessons very easy, because they used small thumnails that can't be opened to view larger. Also the final project should have been done a step at a time throughout the lessons with guided instructions for each part. Instead they waited until the end with no guided instruction to take care of multiple parts of the project. I am not sure if I am going to continue this series, at the $50 monthly course fee for a .ORG is inappropriate for instruction that is not nearly as refined, good as other patforms. It could just be this one course, so I will start the next one in the series and if it is the same as this one. I will go back to Udemy or Continuting Ed, or the Adobe Class Series as they seem to have it figured out for much less $$$

Nice hosts, but very repetitive content and doesn't really teach you very well how to use the tool but rather simply lists possibilities. I was looking for something to teach me the basics and give me an overview but I really felt this was a waste of time overall. All the reading simply reiterates the same over and over again.

This is a solid course for beginners who are new to graphic design or for those who want to create digital designs for themselves. However, if you are already skilled in Adobe Creative Cloud applications and know the design principles, this course may not be suitable for you, unless you need Adobe certification.
