Learn Graphic Design

Horray!!!!! Great class and instructor. I couldn't stop watching. One thing for sure, Jason knows how to strut his stuff! I'm so glad I took this class. I learned all the things I was doing wrong!!

Excellent course, and exceptional presentation of color fundamentals. The demonstrations really helped to drive home the concepts! Highly recommend.

Great class, and finally a good explanation of all different file formats and their uses.

Helpful information, however says "um/uh" waaaay too much, which gets difficult to listen to.

As an experienced artist, I learned so much more than I ever knew about color relationship and how/why to use it. I would hIghly recommend this course to anyone who wants to expand their color skills and attain a deeper understanding of how to use it to make dynamic art.

Even 6 years later, this class has so much valuable information and well presented. Thank you.

definitely recommend this course. Really opened my eyes on using color and value to bring a subject together. Will be returning to this one.

Wow, I thought I would get bored in this class, but Mary explains everything and every aspect so well and keeps it interesting. Understanding colour has been my biggest struggles in my art journey. After this class I finally get it! It will take me a lot of trial and error, I had no idea there were so many aspects to it, but it all makes perfect sense. I am so glad that I can go back and review this class whenever I need, because you can't possibly take it all in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge but also doing the demonstrations. Great teacher!

Great for beginners and those who need a refresher. Awesome class. I thorougly enjoyed it!

I have already either taken or own all of Mary Jane Begin's online classes and this is another great one. This is a rather short class, so this is only a high-level overview of color as used in illustration or painting. It's not the whole thing. I think renaming the class to reflect that might change the expectation. Maybe something like "Color Fundamentals for Painting and Illustration" would be better. Mary Jane Begin has numerous classes on LinkedIn Learning which are in depth demonstrations which some who are wanting more might benefit from, a as well as some titles here on specific painting methods.

Just loved it!! Great intro with great examples!

A great start to the journey! Loved being able to see the work process of different types of work spaces.

I'm only halfway through episode 3, and I'm already hooked! Jason is very engaging and clearly very knowledgable about the subject. He is quick to answer questions thoroughly and phrases things in a very understandable way for beginners. I'm very excited to finish this class.

I love Jason's style and approachability! I love how he explains things and starts right from the beginning. Highly recommend.

This class was so well done. He covers everything you need to know to get started, and gives lots of tips and tricks to make using these programs as efficient as possible. I went from not having any idea how to use Illustrator or Indesgin to being comfortable creating graphics and print products. I highly recommend this class if you're just getting started.

Valuable class

More of a seminar or s quick workshop than an actual class. I did enjoy it and did get some great information out it.

This is a wonderful class. I really like the way MJ teaches and how much she shows you about her techniques. It is a great launching point to go explore more of your own style. Thank you so much.

Helpful balance of fundamentals and detailed case studies.

I recommend this teacher and course over other graphic design courses on creativelive. He's clearly passionate about graphic design. He clearly knows his stuff and more importantly knows how to teach it well. I would look past his speech quirks and focus on the wealth of knowledge and experience he is delivering to you.

I thought the information was well presented and relevant. I’m researching graphic design as a possible career change- this gave me a great understanding of the fundamentals. If you are new to graphic design it is a great course.

this is an outstanding insight into what it takes to work on the field of graphic design, not just for the profitability of it but for the sake of applying fundamental notions of visual communication, connecting the end (the actual design for a client) with the means (the tools you gotta make use of as a designer). it is not a class with exercises, but rather a selection of key notions and examples of a well versed designer. it is also not a quick guide of graphic design but rather an immersive talk for those who would like to understand what really goes on in the backstage of it.

This course is excellent. As some other reviewers noted, the speaker had a lot of ums at the beginning but he clearly knows his stuff. As the course progresses his passion comes through. I like how we walks through various projects he's done and describes what his process was. I will look for other courses by him.

Excellent teacher! He clearly explains tools and concepts that had been a mystery to me in Illustrator and Photoshop. I will certainly be taking other lessons with him!!!

Basic overview of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. The course is a basic/startercourse. For more pro/advanced users the course is less helpfull. Though the teachingstyle is from a knowledgable instructior. A valuable course for annual members. Jason has many great courses that makes learning fun.
