1:36 I don't feel like that example is particularly well designed. I feel that It's disjointed, with uneven spacing and an unnatural flow. 2:57 Another example of weak design. Again, disjointed and uncomfortable to look at.
In previous versions of Photo Elements, when I make an 8x10 transparent and bring in two 6x4 photos into it to print I was able to move them where I wanted to side by side, now when I try to do it, the first one goes into the middle, and won't budge. Does it have to do with the Smart Objects? How do I get around it?
hi, thanks for the video. when you first created the grid you said you wanted to make a 3 mm gutter around the edges (-6mm in height and width) but you reduced the grid by 20mm, 1 cm all around. unless im missing something?
interesting but hard to follow for the newbie haha. Also, around 0:47 you say something like 'reduce with 6 mill' and you take of 20 from 210. Maybe it is that I am not a native speaker, but that doesn't make sense to me. Thanks anyways!
Helpful for sure! I am actually trying to find how to make a 'custom' grid. I could just make a line, but I'm not sure how to transform that into a grid (like, a background line grid). But I'm such a beginner. I will find out
this is very helpful, am trying to star a second hand watches bussines and my facebook post sucks, i always curious about desing and this bring me a lot of ligth in to the matter
I usually don't comment on video's but by how well this is put together I had to and also instantly subscribed. By this video alone you deserve a lot more subscribers man. Gonna watch your other video's now but please don't stop making these kind of video's! Really informative, great explanation with examples, straight to the point and well put together. Love it!
@@shapesbysean Understandable, take the time you need man. No need to pressure yourself. It's better to have a few high quality video's than a lot of mediocre ones. We can wait :)
I'm thoroughly enjoying this. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and I was thoroughly enjoying it. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
0:10 think big med small And then breaking things up into grids/equal spaced apart sections But most int one the shoe one was about unique big med small application in a swirl way not horizontal or vert but swirl 3:20) 2nd font, overlapping logo over pic, then overlapping pic over 2nd part of font to create even more depth 6:05 contrasting angles of subject matters So when overlap = high contrast and focal draw 6:10 largest text for 2nd focal, then smaller text within same proximity which groups them together and become second read afterward And then the next med size block of text afterward
Sean! my friend! <3 when you put on two objects in colour black, this objects not are the same or similars, but... if this objects have the same colour (black), this can considerate like ritm? two object with the same colour can considerate like a ritm? like a repetition? :) thanks for sharing your experience bro! :)
@@shapesbysean Look, I'm going to ask you something that I find interesting. I think that there is no systematization in relation to the aesthetic adaptation of a brand, that is, related to the visual style. I think that designers (I'm only in my first year) move by intuition, and that's perfect, because this is a language and we all know how to speak and play with signs. However, there are "main" aesthetic styles, such as art deco, art noveau, expressionism, etc. As well as modern techniques in art, such as stencils, or graffiti, and also ancient ones such as engraving or the "textur" typography of the "illuminators" of the Middle Ages. I think it is very important that this knowledge is systematized, at least to have a starting point when you start your career as a designer. What's your opinion about it? Are these contents part of the history of art? Or can they be systematized for graphic designers? Greetings!
Sean! you are very clear! and yours tips are greats! and very goods! Thanks! How can create a presentation of my propousals for a client??! thanks for sharing! <3 Greetings from Argentina!
Love your process! I came across stylescapes recently, honestly not sure what the difference is between that and the moodboard but I love how your moodboard helps the client get a better sense of the concept vs. slapping images randomly together. Cheers!
