I love this class. As someone who is beginning the journey in graphic design school and looking for additional classes to help understand the class curriculum, build a stronger and more competitive portfolio, and get a more international and broad scope of what good graphic design looks like, I have enjoyed this class. I feel like this, as well as many of these classes, will help to build a better understanding and stronger portfolio moving forward.
