Design 101
The general introduction to visual design, and Designlab's most popular short course.
Delivery Method
Online, mentor-led, four weeks
What You'll Learn
Idea generation, layout, typography, colour theory and imagery, applied through web design examples and hands-on projects.
Great For
Anyone new to design, developers who want to make better visual decisions, and marketers producing their own assets.
Course Overview
Four weeks covering the fundamentals of visual design, structured around projects rather than theory. The curriculum mixes Designlab's own material with lessons drawn from established design books and sources.
As with every Designlab course, the value sits in the feedback loop: a working designer reviews your project work and you iterate on it two or three times rather than submitting once and moving on.

Designlab teaches UX, UI and product design entirely online, built around one-to-one mentorship with a working designer rather than video lectures alone. The range runs from four-week short courses in a single tool or skill through to UX Academy, a full career-change bootcamp ending in a portfolio of case-study projects. In recent years the catalogue has shifted markedly toward AI, with courses covering AI-assisted research, prototyping and product design alongside the traditional craft subjects.
