Very poor instructions and not enough theory.

课程的内容不太具体，在这个专项课程里算是有点薄弱的一节

To many videos and reading

It is a very basic course.

The new information provided is really very little, almost everything was already said in the first course. The task instructions are unclear and never indicate that what you do will be used in the future. This is very important, it is not the same to do an exercise to practice than to do it for the final project (when you have the first task they do not tell you that you must use those same components throughout the course). Also, being so abstract and confusing when correcting, many people did not understand what the brief was and they correct it wrong. Finally, it took a long time to return my grades, in the other courses it took only a few hours, here I have been waiting for my grades for three days.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this course at all and waited for it to end.

Compering to the first two courses of Graphic Design Specialization that were well explained, clear and informative, this course was not clear. A large part of this course was just written and contained very few videos that clearly explain the subject. Most of the assignments are not clear and many times I had to go online to search for basic information that was supposed to be part of this course. I felt like I didn't learn much, and I think it would be nice if there were more videos to explain subjects better than those quickly written summaries. I believe that for people with some understanding and previous knowledge in graphic design would it can be ok, but for a person who just started to learn each term is new and more detailed explanations are required.

While I understand this is a valuable course to take towards the graphic design specialization, the peer-reviewing process for such artistic/creative/subjective assignments can be quite problematic. While I did my best to give substantial feedback, I received many underwhelming reviews. I think there needs to be more concrete feedback opportunities from an instructor. I felt my motivation to continue with this course decrease week by week due to the way the assignments were so taxing, and yet I receive no constructive criticism on them. Also, the technicalities of requiring an issuu link for the last week's assignment submission must be addressed more in the course curriculum.

Unfortunately I thoroughly disliked this course. The concepts in it were taught better in the first course of the Graphic Design specialization, Fundamentals of Graphic Design, and the rest was about how to make a book, not how to create images. It´s good if all you want is the basics of layout and inspiration to make your own art projects, but its very very basic and too vague and to be honest pretentious for intermediate to advanced artists.

In short, you may find this course helpful if you don´t have much or any art or graphic design experience, but otherwise it is too vague to be of much help.

This was my least favourite course in this specialization. The theory was explained in a very unclear manner, the instructor starts a sentence then finishes with something entirely different. No clear explanations of terms. And the peer reviews are practically non-existent. People either give a few words of "review" or nothing at all. Can't believe I actually paid to get reviews saying "good" and "n/a". And in the forum the staff keeps saying they will work on this, looking back they have been saying this for over a year without any change. You're better off spending your money elsewhere.

This course was the least informative in the specialization so far. There were little to no new concepts taught. I felt like I even got a better idea of imagemaking with the first course. The classes were boring, there was not enough new concepts, and I did not feel like I improved in imagemaking despite actually doing all the assignments and getting good reviews. I could have just drawn whatever I wanted myself and gotten the same experience because I only got to practice what I already knew.

This course is mostly a repeat of the imagemaking and composition sections of the Introductory course: Fundamentals of Graphic Design. However, I found the content less informative , constructive, and applicable than what I learned in the first course. What would have been more helpful is expanding on noticing the denotative and connotative elements of images such as physical quality like lines, textures, textiles, etc. and applying them to context to evoke or portray specific images.

I didn't get on with this course at all. I found the teaching to be quite unclear, the projects to also be quite unclear in what they wanted, and that I didn't learn any skills or knowledge I could apply to the projects. I felt I was heavily relying on skills learned in previous courses to complete assignments. Had I not been trying for the graphic design specialisation, I may have quit this one. 2 stars instead of one as it did force me to become a little more familiar with InDesign.

I found the course videos quite dull and uninteresting. The topics covered could have been taught a lot better. I finished this course only because I wanted to get through the specialization course. I found that the course 'Fundamentals of Graphic Design' did an exponentially better job of explaining image making techniques and composition. The assignments in this course are reasonably good but the instruction videos can definitely benefit from some additional in-depth material.

I was a bit disappointed with this part of the course I felt I didn't improve my skills. Maybe works better for people that are looking for a really basic introduction to image-making. The information available was very rudimental and in a very storytelling book. It was kind of boring, I wish it would have been more modern and more graphic.

It's a very abstract course. Peer review is absolutely useless here. I made some images but I didn't learn something new or interesting. Teacher's information is very unclear and sketchy. Very strong contrast with the previous two courses from the specification in a bad way for this course.

It is my third course in Coursera and it has been the worst of all them. The videos are very short and I could learn nothing. The videos contain very obvious information that contributes little to learn something. The best videos are in the last week but you can ignore the previous ones.

While a number of broad subjects are covered, the video sections are scant and light on helpful details. An absolutely absurd amount of time was spent looking over old art books. I could have gotten more information from watching YouTube videos than I did from going through this course.

I like the concepts mentioned. But they aren't explained well. It would have been great if they were explained in detail. Also the assignment instructions are confusing. I saw many peers confused as their submissions seemed uninformed or they lacked enough clarity on concepts.

I have waited much more from the imagemaking course, but at the end it was quite difficult for me to push myself to make exercises, as I found them boring and senseless. Many topics were repeated during the course. I have learned almost nothing new.

For some reason I don't think this course added to my knowledge of graphic design, there were some interesting exercises for sure, but the whole approach was a little metaphysical and about finding a meaning out of abstract designs.

The level of difficulty on this course was much higher than previous ones and due to the leap in difficulty levels, I could not keep up. Instructions on this course also did not prove to be sufficient for timely completion.

The worst course of the Graphic Design Specialisation so far.Unclear instructions for each assignment and too much asked for so that the focus becomes on getting them done rather than producing pieces of quality.

I understand it was a more practical course but still more information would have been great. Same assignments but more information would have been great. Other courses had more videos.

I honestly didn't learn much from this course. Some of the conventional information about graphics were already included in the first course from the Graphic Design Specialization.

The course wasn't well explained and I didn't seem to learn a lot from this course. I'm sorry for the blunt feedback, but I'm not happy with it.
