About DesignVisBase

At DesignVisBase, our view is that people do not so much learn as discover (visual) design. Visbase teaches principles underlying design: each lesson systematically introduces the basic principles of composition, color rules, and visual language in heights ranging from simple to complex so as to allow the learner to gradually master concepts.

Our Methodology

01

Guided Skill Development

The learning path is constructed carefully so that these basic principles are thoroughly understood before the next stage is begun. As a result, learners are more likely to master both technique and imagination and can take their knowledge with them.

02

Creative Exploration

Our approach encourages students to make for themselves what they earn. Arrive at the subject with your own collection of colors and maybe even a print or two from Claude Garamond’s or Luigi Melani’s original typefaces.

03

Applied Projects for Real Results

Exercises drawn from actual design challenges bring learning to life. In this way students can put the principles they learn into practice in projects which simulate real life situations–not just at desk-top level but also from various angles.
