Fundamentals of Graphic Design for Beginners in Amsterdam

Do you want to learn Graphic Design in Amsterdam but have NO EXPERIENCE?

I can help you!

With this Design tutoring lessons you will learn the Fundamentals of Graphic Design. We will be covering the fundamentals of IMAGEMAKING, TYPOGRAPHY, SHAPE and COLOR and COMPOSITION. I believe that the best way to learn about graphic design is to work HANDS-ON, learn and practice to develop your design skills.

Fundamentals of Imagemaking
We are going to look at how images function in terms of conveying denotative and connotative messages, I'll show you a range of analog and digital imagemaking techniques and discuss how they work.

Fundamentals of Typography
We are going to look at typographic terminology and the basic rules for creating typography. I'll show you a range of tips and techniques for working with type, in both a functional and expressive manner, and you'll find out about the process involved in making and controlling typography.

Fundamentals of Shape and Color
We are going to look at how designers work with shape and color as their fundamental building blocks. You'll learn about visual contrast, color, rhythm and pattern in design. I'll be showing you the process involved in making an abstract design from shapes, and how to use that element to create a repeating pattern design.

Fundamentals of Composition
We are going to look at how designers work with visual contrasts, cropping, hierarchy and direction in single images and complex compositions. You'll find out how to control and use scale, weight, direction, texture, and space in a composition, and how to compose work that ranges from the complex to the minimal.

Extra information

Bring your own laptop (if you have Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop it is great, however, if not there are alternative softwares for free you can use like Canva, Inkscape...)
Optional: Bring your own art supplies (paint, pencil, watercolor..)

USER Interface /User experience designing in Graphic Designing
User Interface design is crucial for an engagement feel between providers/services and customers. It presents digitally content meant to appeal to the user eye and comfortability. Without UI designing, it will be difficult to reach a larger geographic area as some of your interested clients may want to interact outside your territories. And how is it done?

Portfolio Preparation for Graphic Design course applications
Undergraduate Graphic Design courses in the UK receive more applications than places on the course. Therefore your portfolio must show your enthusiasm for learning Graphic Design, and represent who you are as a creative and thinking individual. Within my undergraduate teaching, I have reviewed hundreds of portfolios; some have confused me yet others have made me want to have that student on the course! I can help you look at your current portfolio (or one you have just started), and provide structured advice on forming a portfolio that positively supports your application for an undergraduate graphic design course. I can offer guidance on: • What to include, and exclude, from your portfolio — we can review your current projects. • Representing the depth of creative investigation, and processes, behind your project work. • Including other forms of creative practice that may support your application. • Presenting your work through layout design and the use of writing/captioning. I can look at the course specification for the BA you are applying for and give specific advice accordingly. If you are expecting a face-to-face or online interview, I can share some of my experiences and offer advice on preparing yourself for what you may be asked.
