Per-criterion

Content quality4.4 / 5

111 lessons span UX/UI basics through advanced auto layout, components, variants and interactive prototyping. Comprehensive for a subscription course; slightly capped because Figma ships new features faster than course updates follow.

Instructor4.7 / 5

Daniel Scott is Adobe-certified with 14+ years of teaching experience and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop. His methodical, shortcut-dense style is consistently praised by independent reviewers as clear, practical, and professional.

Value for money4.3 / 5

The Skillshare subscription (~$14/month) also unlocks the companion advanced Figma course at no extra cost. No completion certificate and the rising subscription price are the main drags on value.

Portfolio output4.1 / 5

Real desktop and mobile projects produce shareable portfolio pieces with genuine creative latitude. Depth of feedback is limited compared to mentored programmes; learners self-assess their output.

Real-world use4.5 / 5

Auto layout, components, variants, constraints and prototyping are exactly the skills hiring managers test for. The frames-over-groups discipline and shortcut density transfer immediately to professional Figma workflows.

Content quality4.4 / 5

Sixteen lessons across five units cover principles, finding a designer identity, concept development, typography and presentation. High-level and concept-first rather than a click-by-click software walkthrough — by design, but it caps depth for those wanting technical execution.

Instructor4.9 / 5

Sagi Haviv is a partner at Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, the studio behind some of the most iconic American identities. Reviewers consistently call him brilliant, clear and inspiring; learning a working master's actual process is the course's defining strength.

Value for money4.5 / 5

A one-time purchase (often ~$10-15 on sale) for direct access to a designer of Haviv's stature is widely seen as a bargain. Lifetime access and the practical client-pitch lessons stretch the value well past the 2h33m runtime.

Portfolio output4.2 / 5

The final project has you find a real client, design their logo and build a persuasive presentation — a genuinely portfolio-worthy and business-relevant brief. Feedback is community-based rather than instructor-graded, so output quality depends on self-direction.

Real-world use4.6 / 5

The client-communication and presentation lessons are rare in logo courses and map directly to real freelance work. Learners repeatedly say the persuasion and process framing changed how they approach briefs, not just how they draw marks.
