I thought I would be learning more about the concepts behind logos and how to make the design meaningful to the company. However, it was mostly just the technicality of how to construct a logo, with very basic Illustrator tools.

With the title of 'logo design fundamentals' I was expecting more information on how to come up with design ideas and the process of deciding on a logo for clients, as opposed to the mechanics of how to make one in illustrator. The illustrator tutorial was helpful but not exactly what I was looking for at this time.

Poor details, execution, i was feeling like watching 12 year old me making an logo for my youtube channel. For me there was nothing new I could learn. Very little explanaition of what you were doing

This instructor is not conscious of the fact that he's supposed to be teaching. He seems to get caught up in what he's creating and not explaining the steps he's taking.

I want to thank the professor for sharing his knowledge and experience for free. The course was a great foundation for a person who doesn't know about design. Totally recommended if you are a beginner.

Decent match...I have some freelancing experience, although new to illustrator, so watching the Instructor create a logo in real time was helpful. However, I may have expected/assumed that there would be slightly more mention of the principles of design and incorporating them into your work.

This is just a no. Mostly this is a guy walking the viewer through his process not really a course. Secondly the guy designs a logo with 3 fonts (and one of them even looks like comic sans, not but looks like)

It is great for a how to use Illustrator to create a logo, but I might rename it for that purpose, I don't feel it covers design fundamentals. The logo itself is also not that appealing to me.

It's pretty informative and good. The flow of the educator breaks many times but it is still good enough to learn a lot about logo designing. My all-over experience is pretty good with this course!
