Filling Graphic Design Gaps
Hi.
As an instructional designer, I'm finding my work requires more and more graphic design skill. Often, I'm figuring out how to create and edit images myself with Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm...
Thanks for all the insight! I actually have some of those books (Slide:ology and Presentation Zen), and they're incredibly helpful.
At this point, I'm keenly feeling a lack of understanding the "fundamentals," as Jerson mentioned above. I feel like I have a decent eye for design, but I don't know what I don't know. I might make some good choices by chance, but I want to make sure I can back up my graphic design choices with solid theory, the same way I can back up my instructional design choices. In my organization, more and more graphic design responsibility is falling to me, and I want to make sure I'm well qualified to handle it.
Has anyone supplemented their reading and experimenting with extra GD courses or certificate programs?
