Logo Design For Versatility: How Big Brands Have Adapted
Course instructor Jon Brommet asks: Whether you are a Graphic Designer, a business owner who just needs to design their own logo, or even a hobbyist, one of the most important factors of good logo design is versatility. Meaning, does the logo work in as many different places as possible? This is more important than ever because logos appear in ways we never previously predicted. This is a very important aspect of how to design a logo. From social media to app icons on your watch, a logo must now appear at impossibly small sizes. In this course, we will go over a variety of case studies illustrating how big brands tackle the problem of making sure their brand is still recognizable across a wide variety of applications and sizes. Some solutions are unique to say the least. Remember, many of these brands have spent millions of dollars to make sure their logos are as perfect and versatile as possible. So let’s take some time to study them in ways we haven’t before, so we can learn as much as possible on their dollar. This class is designed for anyone who wants to know more about what makes a great logo. Whether that’s a small business owner, an entrepreneur, or a junior or intermediate graphic designer who hasn’t learned the subtleties needed to create a great and versatile design. Don't skip this! This information isn't a quick fix trend; this is the kind of information that'll change how you think about design from now on. Instructor bio: Jon Brommet is the designer and founder of Crusoe Design Co., a creative studio specializing in logo design and branding, based in the scenic Muskoka region of Ontario. With over 17 years of professional experience, Jon has collaborated with clients ranging from global brands like New Era to music icons such as Blink-182, bringing a versatile and thoughtful approach to every project. Alongside his client work, Jon is also a leading online instructor in graphic design and illustration, with more than 95,000 students worldwide.

Music as Biology: What We Like to Hear and Why
The course will explore the tone combinations that humans consider consonant or dissonant, the scales we use, and the emotions music elicits, all of which provide a rich set of data for exploring music and auditory aesthetics in a biological framework. Analyses of speech and musical databases are consistent with the idea that the chromatic scale (the set of tones used by humans to create music), consonance and dissonance, worldwide preferences for a few dozen scales from the billions that are possible, and the emotions elicited by music in different cultures all stem from the relative similarity of musical tonalities and the characteristics of voiced (tonal) speech. Like the phenomenology of visual perception, these aspects of auditory perception appear to have arisen from the need to contend with sensory stimuli that are inherently unable to specify their physical sources, leading to the evolution of a common strategy to deal with this fundamental challenge.

How Audits Work
By the end of this course, you will be able to evaluate audit risk, design appropriate audit responses, assess audit evidence, and determine the correct audit opinion based on professional standards. You’ll move through the full execution and completion phases of an audit engagement — from understanding the entity and developing an audit strategy to performing substantive testing, forming conclusions, and addressing post-audit responsibilities. This course takes you beyond theory. You will analyze assertion-level risks, distinguish between control testing and substantive procedures, evaluate sufficient appropriate evidence, and determine when to issue an unmodified, qualified, adverse, or disclaimer opinion. You’ll also examine critical end-of-engagement procedures such as searching for unrecorded liabilities, performing final analytics, evaluating subsequent events, and handling omitted procedures. What makes this course unique is its judgment-driven approach. Rather than memorizing standards, you will think like a CPA — applying professional skepticism and audit logic to realistic scenarios that mirror real-world audit engagements.
