Course Description

Graphic Design Fundamentals: Layout, Color, and Typography is a practical ebook course in the Design and Art category, built for anyone who wants to create clear, modern visuals with professional polish. Whether you design social posts, flyers, presentations, or simple brand assets, you will learn graphic design fundamentals that make your work easier to understand and more persuasive.

You will develop a strong sense of layout by using alignment, grids, and visual order to organize information with confidence. As you progress, you will learn how visual hierarchy guides attention through scale, weight, and placement, and how spacing and rhythm use white space to improve clarity. You will also practice contrast and emphasis techniques that increase readability and create impactful compositions across print and digital formats.

Color theory becomes actionable as you build color harmony through balanced palettes that support mood and function. The course also emphasizes color accessibility so your choices remain legible and inclusive for real audiences. In typography, you will strengthen readability and structure by understanding type anatomy, then apply reliable type pairing systems that create cohesion and hierarchy without guesswork.

To connect theory to real work, you will complete a practical redesign that rebuilds a flyer with cleaner layout and stronger typography, and create a simple brand moodboard that defines visual direction with type and color. A quality check workflow helps you keep consistent alignment and spacing, avoid common layout errors, and prepare files for export with confidence.
