Here are a few concepts that you’ll pick up from taking it.
Constraints are a great way to force yourself to think creatively with your designs.
For example, with @visualizevalue, Jack limits himself to geometric forms and a black and white color scheme and a set typeface.
In being limited, he becomes limitless creatively.

I’ve seen this in my work too.
I never learned how to use Photoshop to edit pictures.
I used Snapchat because it was free. It had some limited tools but that forced me to think creatively to get around its constraints.

Visuals are like mental models.
They are a common ground for all of us to quickly grasp a concept.
You can illustrate value through:
1. Symbols
2. Comparison
3. Metaphor
4. Scale

Typography MATTERS.
This was crazy to me because I& #39;d always sort of known this intuitively but I didn& #39;t appreciate the differences of typefaces and how I could use them more effectively until I got through Jack& #39;s module on typefaces.

How do you get better?
1. Volume
2. Reps
3. Iterate
Produce more, repeat the process to get more streamlined at what you produce, and focusing on a single idea will pay better dividends over time. You get a visual type of branding associated with your work.

These are just some of the surface level concepts that changed how I approached design.
Understanding design is such a useful skill and by getting the basic skills down, you empower yourself to communicate with others in a way that strikes deep.

This is part of why I get fascinated with the art of things.
It feels like I& #39;m being talked to through a work.
It& #39;s not a written expression where I have to sit and read to understand.
I see, I process, I react.
Therein lies its power.

Having an eye for good aesthetic and good design is a skill I think everyone should seek to explore if not dedicate their career around.
There& #39;s a lot to be gained from being able to communicate your ideas, product or research visually.
