A deep dive on design theory. KZbin needs more of this. Much appreciated!

[@JackelineHernandezMildestein]

This video is invaluable, just high level content. Thank's to Envato community for making content like this. I only hope you keep doing it 👏❤

[@Kainone]

Thanks a lot for this very useful introduction! Very well done. It was a pleasure to watch, listen and learn! Cheers!

[@ianpan0102]

I haven’t finished the video, but I needed to pause it and just say, thank you. I really appreciate this amazing content. I have gone through a lot of videos, but this is the first one to really explain the concept of stress in typography.

[@arwaal-salam9893]

Brilliant course, the presenter speaks so clearly and eloquently. Thank you

[@topfuel336]

Really well presented, well-spoken... slowly & clearly enunciated. Congratulations! The vast majority of tuts are useless because authors speak too fast, they mumble or for whatever reason, they are not clear...language and accent problems.

[@gerardpatrick8960]

Invaluable course. Very well presented. Thank you very much to Adi (?) and to Envato Tuts+ for making this available.
