the best course i ever found on graphic design that was free, while being absolutely on the level of a paid course. its really just PERFECT and i have no words for it.

Andrew Wilshere’s Baseline free design bootcamp is a game-changer for anyone looking to level up their design skills. By emphasizing pen and paper over software, the course encourages low-fidelity thinking, helping me overcome perfectionism and focus on solving design problems efficiently. The time-boxed assignments reframed my approach to challenges, making them feel achievable by focusing on effort over outcomes. The progress sheet kept me motivated, and the inclusion of “hidden curriculum” topics like ethics, file management, and time-boxing provided practical insights often missing from other courses. The format—practicing skills before seeing Andrew’s solution—built my confidence in applying what I learned to real-world scenarios. Highly recommended!

great layout and i love the work space and the great assignment's so much fun and makes you work hard, but at your own pace, and i like how it gives you a time you can aim for, for each section/part

You can find an infinity of tutorials online about how to use the tools: Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, etc. What you can't find so easily online is an extensive course related to the design principles, best practices and guided briefs to experiment on your own.

I need to mention the Slack community where you can connect with other designers, share ideas and gain feedback.

And... the best thing is the coaching part with Andrew. He helped me a lot with direction and practical tips and tricks that I applied to my work.

The Baseline is absolutely amazing! I cannot believe how is this still free. The entire curriculum is professionally designed and beginner friendly, the exercises are great and while learning you can be assured that you are not wasting time. I wish I knew about this earlier. Plus, Baseline also has a friendly and inclusive community which is usually missing from a lot of paid bootcamps. So grateful for creators for providing us with such a great learning resource.

After just one call with Andrew, I already feel more focused than I have in the past few weeks. He provided such thoughtful suggestions regarding a case study I've just started working on and is so patient and enthusiastic. I look forward to making my way through the course material and having 1-1 discussions in the future.

Baseline use day to day life experiences to teach you design, it don't keep your knowledge and wisdom limited to books and projects. What I like most about the course I am doing on UI/UX is it doesn't make me feel that I am a beginner at this game. It use natural human instinct to inspire your design works. You are a designer if you are human and know how humans think and act.

Baseline's course on graphic design is a gem for people starting a career in design like me. It is very detailed, organized and very well structured. A plus is the slack community where you can get feedback, meet other designers and learn from their work and feedback they receive.
The highlight for me is that you get to develop a portfolio as part of the course that you can use in job search

How many stars I'm going to give you? All the stars!!! Excellent content, excellent real-life examples, each chapter finished with a practical task, with tips and solutions. Great help for everyone who starts graphic or digital design. For me, as a person with experience but needing to organize knowledge in view of UX - also very useful. Excellent copywriting, also for a non-native speaker. It's a great read, you rarely need to use a translator (for a person with an intermediate level of English). Good job!

I would recommend a course. Great value for beginners as well as intermediate designers.
The course provides well-thought briefs which are awesome portfolios builders.

I recentely had a call with Baseline, and I cannot recommend their coaching enough.
Accounting for their free education which helps us self taught designers.

He cleared all my personal gripes and questions with design easily, also being up for clarifications with anything that was confusig.

Deserves the 5/5
