TL;DR: Design Education Series All Series Pass bundles Obys Agency’s three foundation seasons: Typography Principles (~2h 35m), Colors Combinations (~2h 47m), and Grids (~4h 25m). Roughly 49 episodes, ~9h 47m total. Built from real award-winning client work, not invented teaching examples.
Design Education Series All Series Pass vs the Crowded Design-Course Market
Walk into the design-education aisle in 2026 and you’ll trip over UX bootcamps, motion programs, and portfolio bundles. Most go wide. Few go deep on craft fundamentals. Compared to established interface-design programs, which leans motion-heavy, or portfolio-packaging bundles built around case-study packaging, this pass sits in a narrower slot: typography, colors, and grids, taught by Obys Agency. The broader UI/UX bundles covers broader UI/UX, but doesn’t draw from an active award-winning studio’s actual client breakdowns.
What You Get Inside Design Education Series All Series Pass
The bundle is the three-season foundations stack on the official Obys site, delivered here as downloadable video files. What ships:
- Season 01: Typography Principles (~2h 35m)
- Season 02: Colors Combinations (~2h 47m)
- Season 03: Grids (~4h 25m)
- Approximately 49 episodes across the three seasons
- ~9h 47m of total video runtime
- Self-paced format with short, signal-dense episodes
Obys lists a certificate/poster (PDF), private community access, and free course updates as bonuses on the official platform. We could not independently confirm those on the public source, so we treat them as Obys-stated extras.
How the Three Seasons Are Built
Season 01 covers pairing, hierarchy, rhythm, and scale, with type framed as a compositional tool rather than a decorative layer. Season 02 moves into color theory applied to screens: palette logic, contrast under interaction, mood, and brand-fit. Season 03 is the longest and gets into grid systems for clear, dynamic layouts, including how Obys structures composition on responsive web work.
What stitches the seasons together is the web-applied angle. Type rendered on screen, palettes that survive motion, grids that flex across breakpoints. That’s the lens print-skewed theory courses tend to skip.
Who the Bundle Is Built For
The honest fit picture:
- Working web and product designers who skipped formal design-theory training
- Junior-to-mid designers who want fundamentals from an active studio
- Freelancers preparing to ship higher-craft client work
- Self-taught designers building toward award-tier portfolios
- Studio teams wanting a shared vocabulary on type, color, and grids
Who it’s not for: absolute beginners with no design vocabulary, anyone hunting a Figma or After Effects tutorial, or designers who want live mentorship (that’s the separate Obys Mentor Plan, not included here).

Design Education Series All Series Pass vs Other Training Options
How it stacks up against the obvious alternatives:
- vs Matt Smith’s Shift Nudge Pro interface design course: interface-focused with strong typography and grid work. This bundle is narrower and craft-focused on static type, color, and grids drawn from Obys client projects.
- vs Shipwright Complete Design System Academy: broad design-system surface area versus depth on three foundations from an award-winning agency.
- vs Ayesha Santos’ Powerhouse Portfolio: portfolio packaging versus underlying craft fundamentals on type, color, and grids.
- vs buying the three Obys seasons individually: official standalone price is $150 per season ($450 separately). The UDCourse bundle
Narrow-and-deep, web-applied, taught from an award-agency vantage point. That’s the slot it owns.
Design Education Series All Series Pass: Common Questions Answered
What is Design Education Series All Series Pass?
Obys Agency’s three-season foundations stack (Typography Principles, Colors Combinations, Grids), ~9h 47m total, delivered as downloadable video files.
Who is Design Education Series All Series Pass for?
Working web, product, and graphic designers who want craft fundamentals from an active award studio. Junior-to-mid fit best. Not for absolute beginners; not a Figma tutorial.
Is Design Education Series All Series Pass worth it?
against $450 if you bought the three Obys seasons individually at $150 each on the official site. The studio reports 80+ design awards and the DES site itself was a European Design Awards finalist. The value sits in depth on type, color, and grids, not breadth across UI/UX.
Is Design Education Series All Series Pass legit?
The underlying course is a real, published Obys Agency product (des.obys.agency), recognized by the European Design Awards and Communication Arts. UDCourse lists the downloadable files at a lower price point and does not provide enrolment on Obys’s official platform.
How long does it take to complete?
~9h 47m of video across the three seasons. Most working designers finish inside two to four weeks at a relaxed pace.
What makes it different?
It’s taught by an active concept-driven studio (Obys reports 80+ awards), uses real client-project breakdowns rather than synthetic teaching examples, and stays narrow on three foundations where most competitors go wide.
Does this include Creative Web Design Practice or the Mentor Plan?
No. This bundle covers only the three seasons (Typography, Colors, Grids). It does NOT include Creative Web Design Practice (Obys’s separate flagship) or the Mentor Plan (1-on-1 calls and Figma feedback).
Do I get a certificate or community access?
Obys lists a certificate/poster (PDF) and private community access with the bundle on the original platform. We treat these as Obys-stated bonuses, since we have not independently verified them on the public source. The UDCourse delivery is the downloadable video files.
What software or prior skills do I need?
No software is taught here. It’s principles, not tooling. Working Figma familiarity and baseline design vocabulary are recommended. Absolute beginners will find the pace fast.
