If you would like to have a taste of what visual and graphic designers do in the real world and start to get the basic skills to join them, then this course is for you.  We explore basic design principles - covering composition, balance, contrast and hierarchy - and examine important design elements like lines, shapes, forms and textures. Studying Alison’s Visual and Graphic Design course will help to understand and master the design process and you will be ready to join an in-demand crew of professionals. 

A graphic designer creates logos, websites, and other marketing materials while a visual designer creates interfaces (for example, apps or websites). Graphic designers work on projects from start to finish: they create concepts, sketches, and mock-ups before creating finished designs. Visual designers are more involved in the design process, but their main focus is on the end-user experience rather than the actual design itself. This course will give you a solid foundation on both career paths that are closely related and even overlap. Start this course today and understand the difference between visual and graphic design as well as their specific processes and principles.
