You don’t need a design background to benefit from understanding design principles. This two-day Ottawa course teaches the fundamentals — hierarchy, contrast, scale, white space, typography, and colour — that make visual communication work. Whether you create internal documents, marketing materials, or presentations, these principles will immediately improve your output.
Prerequisite: proficiency in either Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator
The principles of good design aren't hard to learn -- but knowing them changes everything about how your work looks. Over two days, Ottawa participants study the techniques professional designers use for newsletters, brochures, posters, and logos. No prior design background required.
