    As someone beginning their journey into graphic design, starting with the "Getting Started" lesson (as the name implies...) I was easily able to understand how everything he is saying can be practically applied. To anyone looking where to begin I can't imagine a better lesson to JUMPSTART your journey whether it be for professional application or as a hobby. These lessons will be in my toolbox to reference for a long time to come I'm sure, Thanks Tim!

    Timothy Samara is a prolific genius. He's also an academic who's written numerous required graphic design books. This is abstract, high-level graphic design theory, and is not practical in a do this/not that/ make your layouts look like this sense, but it is still important. This is advanced thinking and it may not be for everyone.

    I only caught an hour of this, but what I heard was excellent--even better than some of the design courses I took in art school.
