Four modules on image-making, typography and letterform anatomy, shape and colour theory, and composition and visual hierarchy; it teaches principles, not software. Open to: beginners, no prior experience. The catch: the page says materials, assignments and the certificate require the paid Certificate experience, and it shows both 8 and 15 hours.
