excellent
by Cesar C. on October 4, 2026
This course was somewhat challenging, but it really forced me to slow down and think about all the different ways visual communication influences us as consumers in everyday life. I found myself noticing things like color, design, branding, and messaging differently as I progressed through the course. Overall, it was challenging in a good way and gave me a much better understanding of how much visual communication impacts our everyday decisions.
