I thought the assignments worked really cohesively with one another. It helped to keep terms and skills in mind from one assignment to the next. The lecture videos were great, short, and to the point.

The CalArts Graphic Design Certificate program is excellent. It has reinvigorated my love for graphic design and graphic art. I am seeking to transition to consulting work and want to refine my graphic design skills and produce portfolio pieces that I can use.

This course helped me to understand how to decorate or present text in the right way and suitable for the meaning behind it. I am sure that these skills will be developed in future projects in this area and will help me improve my skills and knowledge even more.

With the Introduction to Typography course, I learned a little about the specific vocabulary, the origin of some typographic families and that there is a huge potential in relation to texts that can be explored at any time, in any type of piece. Really enjoyed.

Claro, conciso. Cualquier persona a quien le guste la tipografÃa aprenderÃa de este curso. Esta introducción permite agudizar la apreciación de la tipografÃa como el lenguaje no verbal de la escritura, y explorar el potencial estético y expresivo de las letras.

Great courses for pretty much everyone. I'm a marketer, not a designer but I still found it very useful, as sometimes I still have to work with typgraphy a bit. This is a great introduction to typography for designers, copywriters, marketers and everyone else!

I really enjoyed this class! As a writer, I never thought much about typefaces (other than knowing I dislike sans-serifs 99% of the time), but I look at them in a whole new way now. I feel like my writing and formatting is much better since taking this class.

Great course with in-depth knowledge and terminology, however, there are evaluator comments in the assignments that are inaccurate, and the tasks end up being poorly graded. There is no segment for a second review or appeal, which impacts the final grades.

This course gives you the primary knowledge to dive into the ocean of typography. It is quite helpful. Only thing I find intimidating is that instructors do not grade your assignments. Overall I find it quite helpful. The Teacher has a very relaxing voice.

Great course. The videos are jam-packed with information which makes it really worth your money and your time. I am a self-taught designer and truly appreciated all the very specific tips and rules that are not as obvious when you start out on your own.

Very good. The course gave me knowledge about typography and terms. the assignments can be improved, the last assignment shouldn't be based on the previous one in my opinion. in general the last week of the course can consist a bit more content.

This was a quite technical course which allowed me to learn a lot about typography and how it works. I found the video material very interesting and liked how all the assignments were linked to one other by building off each other. Great course!

Loved it! I thought the assignments were really meaningful for the future in design :) Enjoyed this course very much. There was a bit of repetition from the Fundamentals course, but I think it was necessary. Continuing with the other courses.
