Beginner difficulty level

Designer pro: junior

Course outcome: 5 completed design projects — posters, icons, character cards, infographics, and interface elements. All assembled into your first portfolio that you can proudly show to friends and family. No hand-drawing required — we work in real design software adapted for beginners. Where this skill leads: you'll understand how designers think and turn ideas into visuals. You'll be able to design your school projects, create covers, make beautiful presentations. This is the first step toward future careers in UX/UI design, graphics, and game development. How the course works: 4 modules with 3–4 lessons each, every lesson 6–7 minutes. Everything is clear from the start, no boring theory. Group of up to 20 people: the instructor helps everyone and answers questions. You'll meet others who also love creating. First result: in the very first lesson, you'll create a composition from shapes — and see that design is simpler than you thought. For those who want to create!

What you’ll learn

  • Composition and Shapes

    Learn to build images from simple shapes — circles, squares, triangles. Understand why some images look great while others don't. Create your first compositions that actually look like professional design work.

  • Color and Combinations

    Master the color rules that professionals use. Learn why some colors "get along" while others "argue." Stop guessing — you'll know exactly which colors to choose.

  • Typography in Design

    Learn to add text that enhances images rather than ruining them. Discover which fonts work for what purposes and how to position text beautifully. Your posters and presentations will look professional.

  • Working with Software

    Master real designer tools — layers, grids, alignment. All through practice: you won't memorize buttons, you'll create projects. By course end, you'll work confidently in design software.
