Раньше шрифты подбирала наугад, а теперь наконец поняла, как сочетать гротеск с антиквой и держать баланс на постере. Особенно зашёл раздел про модульную сетку и иерархию заголовков — мой первый плакат получился реально цельным.

Курс хорошо структурирован: сначала объясняют базовые принципы шрифтовых пар, потом дают попрактиковаться на реальном постере. Понравилось, что не просто говорят «делай так», а объясняют, почему одна комбинация работает, а другая — нет. Единственное, финальный проект хотелось бы с более подробной обратной связью.
Heldere uitleg over fontcombinaties en contrast, ik mis alleen wat meer voorbeelden van slechte pairings ter vergelijking.
フォントの組み合わせについて、なんとなく感覚でやっていたことがちゃんと理論として説明されていて勉強になりました。セリフ体とサンセリフ体をどう組み合わせるとバランスが取れるのか、具体例を見ながら学べるのが良かったです。ポスター制作の実習では、余白の使い方やヒエラルキーの作り方まで丁寧に扱っていて、実際に自分のポートフォリオに使える作品ができました。ただ後半のレイアウト演習は少し駆け足に感じたので、もう少し時間をかけてほしかったです。
Finally understand font pairing properly now.
Akhirnya paham cara memadukan font dengan benar.
ফন্ট জোড়া বাছাই এখন আরও সহজ লাগছে।
I've always just picked fonts that 'looked nice together' without really understanding why some pairings work and others don't, and this course actually breaks down the logic behind it. The sections on contrast, x-height, and weight pairing gave me an actual framework instead of guesswork. Building a poster from scratch using only two typefaces forced me to get creative with hierarchy instead of relying on a third font as a crutch. The instructor walks through real bad examples and fixes them live, which made the mistakes stick way better than just reading rules. By the end I had redesigned an old poster of mine and it looked completely different, way more intentional. This is the kind of course I wish I'd taken years ago.
Il corso spiega molto bene i principi base per abbinare i font senza che sembrino a caso, con esempi pratici molto chiari. L'esercizio del poster finale mi ha aiutato a capire meglio la gerarchia visiva usando solo due famiglie tipografiche. L'unico neo è che alcune lezioni sulla spaziatura potevano essere un po' più approfondite.
Bagian tentang memadukan font serif dan sans-serif dijelaskan dengan sangat jelas, disertai contoh nyata yang mudah diikuti. Latihan membuat poster di akhir kursus benar-benar membantu memahami hierarki visual. Sayangnya beberapa bagian tentang spasi huruf terasa agak terburu-buru.
Наконец-то разложили по полочкам, почему одни шрифтовые пары смотрятся гармонично, а другие нет, и практика с постером сразу закрепляет теорию.
Il modo in cui spiegano l'abbinamento tra font serif e sans serif mi ha aiutato tantissimo, peccato solo che l'ultima parte sui poster sia un po' affrettata.
The section on pairing a serif with a sans without them clashing was genuinely useful, though the poster layout exercises at the end feel a bit rushed.
