Psychology in Design

Description

Design decisions work better when you understand how people see and think, and these PDF lessons connect the two. They start with human perception and the Gestalt principles that explain how we group shapes.

Later lessons cover color psychology, typography and how people process text, visual hierarchy and attention, and the psychology of shapes and forms. The last lesson applies these ideas to real design projects. Exercises, a template, and a short quiz in the PDFs help you test each idea on your own work. By the end, you should be able to explain why a layout works or fails in terms of perception and attention, and to apply that to your own designs.

Who it is for: beginner designers who want a reason behind their layout, color, and type choices.
