Learner Reviews & Feedback for The Language of Design: Form and Meaning by California Institute of the Arts
About the Course
the making process for designers: it’s not just how we determine if a work of design is or is not successful, it’s how we move our work forward.
Critique is also where other voices and opinions can be brought into the design process. This course will introduce a lexicon (or vocabulary) in
order for you to demonstrate clearer and more considered ways of talking about graphic design in the context of critique. Through this lexicon
and a provided Critique Framework, we will model and then practice objectively describing how well a work of design function...

It was well structured and every video, quiz and peer review helped the concepts and teachings really sink in. With that being said, I'm definitely going to take the course again and again and again
