Free Lynda.com Video: Universal Principles of Design
Most topics, even those that are complex or daunting at first, are a lot easier to grasp (and eventually master), if you approach them in manageable chunks. And the strategy of breaking down huge collections of knowledge into tasty bite-sized lessons is one of the foundations of Lynda.com’s success.
So it’s only natural that there’s now a Lynda.com course where you can learn one key design principle each week. The course is called Universal Principles of Design, and it’s authored by William Lidwell and Jill Butler. Each movie focuses on just one topic, and you have a whole week to digest and practice it before moving on to the next. It’s also great because you only need to invest 5 minutes a week to learn a new design concept. That’s just one cat video per week, a small price to pay for the chance at vastly improving your design knowledge and skills.
To get the flavor of the course, check out this free video, on the 80/20 Rule.
