Maryland MICA Graphic Design Foundation Network Free Course

After all, it is a basic online welfare course, so it is different from the Graphic Design Study Abroad There are certain differences in courses. From the syllabus, we can see that Ellen Lupton's curriculum definition is more about understanding the basic principles of graphic design.
The course divides graphic design into five levels——
1. Symmetry vs.asymmetry
2. Scale
3. Framing
4. Hierarchy
5. Grids (frame layout)
In the short 35 minute course, students will learn the definition of these five basic concepts of graphic design and simple practical application. It is worth mentioning that this course is not only aimed at students of graphic design, but also noted in the course introduction that these five basic design principles are applicable to almost all visual arts industries.

So not only the students of graphic design, but also all the students in the production process of the portfolio can take half an hour to listen to MICA Maryland College of the Arts I believe that the basis of this graphic design will definitely inspire the students to improve their visual works!
