D4H Video
D4H Video is the flagship course. It breaks down visual design into a sort of "design genome," for software developers and UX and UI designers to improve their visual design skills.
Each video is around 5 minutes long. Along with the accompanied "10-Minute Challenges" checklist, you can embed your mind with a first-principles understanding of design in about 15 minutes a day.
This course is self-paced, but includes a 5-week suggested lesson plan.
