"Learning Graphic Design Layouts" is an excellent course for anyone looking to strengthen their foundational design skills. The instructor clearly explains key principles of layout, including hierarchy, balance, alignment, and spacing. The course is structured logically, with practical examples that make it easy to understand how to apply these concepts in real projects.
I especially appreciated the hands-on exercises, which allowed me to experiment with different layouts and see immediate results. By the end of the course, I feel more confident creating visually appealing and professional designs. Highly recommended for both beginners and designers who want to refine their layout skills."

Course details
What is layout? Layout is the use of type, graphics, and space to create story, voice, and engagement. It is one of the core tools of graphic design. Join John McWade as he teaches the basic rules for achieving a balanced, professional, and attractive layout. It starts with the page itself: a space with visible and invisible properties. Learn the core principles that keep a layout simple and strong. Then find out how to use white space and images effectively and explore the power and flexibility of grids.
John also provides two start-to-finish projects, which show how these design principles play out in real-world layouts.
