Typography course gave me an even greater appreciation for design. It’s something I’ve always been interested in, and learning about typography was such a great experience. Excited to explore more in the world of design! Thanks, Uxcel!

Just wrapped up Typography on Uxcel, and it really made me see text differently. There’s so much that goes into good typography—hierarchy, grids, contrast, and even tiny details like punctuation and spacing—that can totally change how a design feels. Now I catch myself noticing type choices everywhere. 😅

I was amazed when I used Uxcel for the first time. The traditional e-learning platforms are tedious and boring with too much redundant information.
