“I found the marketing for this class misleading and its cost overpriced for the value it provides. This class doesn't teach any technical skills and instead gives a quick overview of what graphic design is as well as its history. You are better off watching Paula's talks on Youtube and buying Meggs' History of Graphic Design book.”

“I've been a book designer for 40 years now, so when the Paula Scher BBC Maestro Class came across my Facebook feed I was intrigued. I've had the pleasure of hearing many well-know graphic designers speak, and they've all been articulate, funny, intelligent, and charming. Paula Scher is no exception in this class. She shares her wealth of knowledge and experience in an honest and down-to-earth way, never seeming snooty or self-involved. I learned a lot from this class, and grew to admire Paula for her love of typeforms. Her class notes include a robust list of books to read, and TV shows and movies to watch.”

“This is not really diving into the nitty gritty of graphic design it's more a historical overview with a few examples of her own work. The insights to her own working practice are fairly minimal and often there's interviews with collaborators. Maybe Scher just doesn't like the limelight.”

“As someone who struggled to understand the hype over Fonts I found Paula's course enlightening. The whole idea of design never struck me as interesting in the least. But watching this course really opened my eyes to a world I didn't know existed. I've really enjoyed this course and learned a lot. Thank you Paula.”
