Graphic Design Theory - Print Design
From instructor Martin Perhiniak, this course is an in-depth guide on printing techniques, products, workflows and terminology. If you are like so many of us, amazed by a beautifully designed poster or magazine cover, buying a chocolate just because of its cool packaging, if you love design in print form, then you’ve come to the right place. Print design focuses on producing designs printed onto tangible surfaces and products, and we can say that it is the oldest, classic field of Graphic Design, as old as the profession itself. With this rich history, we have a long way to look back, and even more to look forward to as new trends arise and more and more industries modernize their look and appeal, and professional printing and packaging services become more accessible to small brands. Because of this, learning the key terms, best practices and industry standards of printing is very important for any professional designer. The greatest benefits of completing this course: By the end of this course, you will be equipped with all the knowledge you need to accept print design projects (given that you have the skills in the software). You will be able to confidently interact with printer services and clients, knowing how to prepare your work professionally, from adjusting your colors to setting your bleeds. What will we cover: In this course we will be covering everything you need to know about printing techniques and processes, including: * All the essential print terminology like bleed, color separation, RIP, spot colors etc. * All the most common printing methods (offset, digital, screen, 3D printing) and the differences between them * Special printing techniques (foil stamp, varnish, lamination, coating, emboss) * Color management, calibration and proofing * Binding methods (stiching, thread sewn, spiral, EVA, PUR, tape bond etc.) * Checklist for a successful print job (overprinting, trapping, flattening, knockout etc.) * Paper types, sizes with resolution settings and so much more. We will also dive deep into all the specialized areas within this field, like: * Logo design, * Packaging design, * Editorial design, * Environmental design, * Posters, * Brochures, * Business Cards, * Stationery and Books * Mastering by visual examples We will analyze hundreds of print design projects to give you a solid understanding of the important rules and terms you need to be familiar with as a print designer. Who is this course for? * Anyone planning to get into the creative industry * Creative professionals aiming to improve their compositions * Marketing managers working with agencies & printing services Practical advice with invaluable industry insight: This is not an abstract theory course at all, but a very practical one. As a professional freelance designer myself, I will give you all my 20+ years of experience in managing 100s of high-paying projects from simple to complex, from small shops to global brands like Disney and Lego. In fact, I was working in a special consultant role for Adobe for more than a year, teaching design workflow and process practices to their most esteemed clients. And I can promise you with confidence, this part of the Graphic Design Theory Series, will literally elevate you to the next level as a designer, giving you a huge advantage whether you're just starting out, or already working as a designer for years. Come, join me, Martin Perhiniak, on this exciting journey, let’s explore the amazing world of Graphic Design together! Instructor bio: Martin Perhiniak is a Certified Adobe Design Master and instructor with extensive experience working for top companies including Disney, Warner Brothers, Cartoon Network, Sony Pictures, Mattel, and DC Comics. Based in London, he teaches design and provides live online training and consultancy services to students and professionals worldwide. Martin’s teaching emphasizes hands-on learning and personal growth, guided by his motto: “Do not compare yourself to your role models. Work hard and wait for the moment when others will compare themselves to you.”

Tweet Emotion Recognition with TensorFlow
In this 2-hour long guided project, we are going to create a recurrent neural network and train it on a tweet emotion dataset to learn to recognize emotions in tweets. The dataset has thousands of tweets each classified in one of 6 emotions. This is a multi class classification problem in the natural language processing domain. We will be using TensorFlow as our machine learning framework. You will need prior programming experience in Python. This is a practical, hands on guided project for learners who already have theoretical understanding of Neural Networks, recurrent neural networks, and optimization algorithms like gradient descent but want to understand how to use the Tensorflow to start performing natural language processing tasks like text classification. You should also have some basic familiarity with TensorFlow. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

The Finite Element Method for Problems in Physics
This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern, open-source environment that can be expanded to other applications, subsequently. The course includes about 45 hours of lectures covering the material I normally teach in an introductory graduate class at University of Michigan. The treatment is mathematical, which is natural for a topic whose roots lie deep in functional analysis and variational calculus. It is not formal, however, because the main goal of these lectures is to turn the viewer into a competent developer of finite element code. We do spend time in rudimentary functional analysis, and variational calculus, but this is only to highlight the mathematical basis for the methods, which in turn explains why they work so well. Much of the success of the Finite Element Method as a computational framework lies in the rigor of its mathematical foundation, and this needs to be appreciated, even if only in the elementary manner presented here. A background in PDEs and, more importantly, linear algebra, is assumed, although the viewer will find that we develop all the relevant ideas that are needed. The development itself focuses on the classical forms of partial differential equations (PDEs): elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic. At each stage, however, we make numerous connections to the physical phenomena represented by the PDEs. For clarity we begin with elliptic PDEs in one dimension (linearized elasticity, steady state heat conduction and mass diffusion). We then move on to three dimensional elliptic PDEs in scalar unknowns (heat conduction and mass diffusion), before ending the treatment of elliptic PDEs with three dimensional problems in vector unknowns (linearized elasticity). Parabolic PDEs in three dimensions come next (unsteady heat conduction and mass diffusion), and the lectures end with hyperbolic PDEs in three dimensions (linear elastodynamics). Interspersed among the lectures are responses to questions that arose from a small group of graduate students and post-doctoral scholars who followed the lectures live. At suitable points in the lectures, we interrupt the mathematical development to lay out the code framework, which is entirely open source, and C++ based. Books: There are many books on finite element methods. This class does not have a required textbook. However, we do recommend the following books for more detailed and broader treatments than can be provided in any form of class: The Finite Element Method: Linear Static and Dynamic Finite Element Analysis, T.J.R. Hughes, Dover Publications, 2000. The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals, O.C. Zienkiewicz, R.L. Taylor and J.Z. Zhu, Butterworth-Heinemann, 2005. A First Course in Finite Elements, J. Fish and T. Belytschko, Wiley, 2007. Resources: You can download the deal.ii library at dealii.org. The lectures include coding tutorials where we list other resources that you can use if you are unable to install deal.ii on your own computer. You will need cmake to run deal.ii. It is available at cmake.org.
