Hey!! yes you.. there is nothing wrong been a beginner in Graphic design. It's just a phase you are passing through to been a master. There will always be beginners cause we all didn't start to learn Graphic design at same time and age. Design your future today, PEACE ✌️
i'm moving to illustration and graphic design from the editing/copyediting field, and the very prominent typo ("beatufil") was what i saw first in the beginner travel design. proofread your work, folks!
I love the two advanced posters but lets be honest, if i do anything a bit arty and original, clients go mental and ask me to change it for something much more simple. So i do basic stuff that clients love and i do arty graphic design stuff for myself, so that nobody bothers me and my creativity. It is tough to deal with clients. Of course some clients are great and want original stuff, but the vast majority have terrible taste, that's why many designers get stuck at beginner level, if they dont do other creative stuff on the side...
The travel ad looks typical of American style graphic design. I've worked with a couple of print shops and newspapers, and that is what they want. They don't want anything inspired because Americans don't want to think. They want to be told everything. They don't see graphic design as art. They think of it as just an ad. They don't want any futuristic or original fonts. They don't want a consistent color scheme. They want blatantly obvious advertising. The tackier the better. Clients actually say Can you use a bunch of different fonts please? They don't understand sophistication. They want simple and to the point.
Even the 'don't want to think' aspect falls short, because the design is too convoluted. If the idea is to target short attention and quick messaging, then a refined and simple design would be more effective
@@SatoriGraphics But then the "refined and simple" design would not be the style that the clients order. As @nxs6musique140 said, they want simple and to the point. After all, design/art is a subjective matter, what looks best for you may appear to be ugly/ineffective to others. I bet you don't want to waste time educating them that the up-to-trend is better than template-like design.
Design is not always art though and in certain cases it is just an advertisement. You are correct though that it doesn't mean as designers we shouldn't be following good heuristic principles to clearly communicate the desired message but that is on us to teach those to our clients who are lacking in that expertise.
I agree to a point, I think it depends on how the design is being used. For example I'm a designer in the insurance world and our design are very straight foreword and corporate looking. The "pro" design would never fly and many would think that person is the beginner haha. The "beginner" version (other than the typos) is much closer to what I do on a daily basis (although I'd still make plenty of changes) and is more acceptable for my clients. It has nothing to do with being an "American" design . . . I worked for Asian clients (mostly in China and Japan) that preferred the "beginner" style as well. It all depends on what fits their company voice/branding/message.
@@casdragon_5939 Yeah exactly, most clients are not interested with arty, outside of the box posters, they are used to templates that we see everywhere and thats what they want...
Hey man!, first of all, gotta tell you that I love your videos and they are very informative; I've been a graphic designer for almost 20 years now and I am still finding tips in your videos. Secondly, when doing a comparison like this, I would suggest taking the 'Beginner' design and transform it into a 'Advanced' design; why?, because the subject matter in one is quite different from the other, the assets, the market and the goal were never the same. It's like comparing apples to oranges. While transforming a beginner design into a advanced one would be a more informative and fair comparison. Again, I mean this with the utmost respect to you and your content. Cheers!
Great video 👍 I also think that , but in reality, sometimes designer design as consumer paying perspective, if a product that Target audience is middle class or lower middle class consumer so it can be considered. But if a professional design comes , people judge it look it is look very premium, i can't afford it. That why i think the most matter is knowing Target audience.
This is design thinking and the correct way to approach these types of problems. The advance design put forward in this video essay are typically only good for designers trying to demonstrate technical ability and signaling their taste to other designers.
I thought the beginner design was much better than the advanced example. It's clear in the beginner example what it's about - holidays. The advanced example? WTF is that about?
The beginner poster had too many mistakes, no hierarchy, too many different fonts, no alignment, too much colours but no contrast. That's what makes it a bad design.
I am not too strong on my Graphic Design but since as part of a larger team I teach the tools part of Adobe products to students one very big issue I notice in new designers is: - Clutter - Overusage of saturation - A lacking sense of harmony both in the elements of form and color. - No understanding of vertical lining and negative space.
Thank u for listening to my comments i just asked u to upload something like this and guess what the next video u uploaded is on that topic only Thank u sir, hope to see more of similar contents like u ( it help starting designers like us who are struck on the face how to improve what to learn and what not ) Thank you once again sir
Guys im in 12th grade rn and learning graphic designing from weeks but suddenly a fear is rising in me that Ai will replace graphic designers,should i continue learning or not?is this the thing should i be concerned about?
All of your videos feature two key aspects: concise segments packed with useful information and tips, and stunning motion graphics that enhance your tutorials. I hope you can further assist me by sharing your knowledge and, if possible, reviewing one of my designs each month. This would greatly impact my skills and life. Good luck sir.
Try not to think that way. Instead think why aren't your skills where you want them to be right now (weaknesses), and turn them into strengths. We all at some point get jealous and admire better work, but you can either use that as fuel to improve, or negativity to demotivate you. The only thing stopping you is you 👍🏻
Try deconstructing an example of a good graphic design that caught your eye. Analyze it why you like it, maybe even copy it as a practice exercise. Eventually you'll start to understand the elements of what makes great graphic art work and you'll start to make your own unique work.
Unpopular opinion as a working designer: all examples shown are just different levels of beginner. Adding modern noise and animation doesn't inherently advance the design just demonstrates technical ability and attention to trend. In your beginner poster example, you point out that it's use of many different typefaces and weights is an indicator of beginner design but in your advanced example it is using the same amount of variety in type so it's not a helpful comparison. Advanced design is measured by how clearly you are able to communicate your client's message to their intended audience.
Most time some clients go Google search and they show many examples and ask to make same design and they will tell designing. Is very simple there was lot of template available
As if often the case, it depends on the tier of clients you work with. Of course this wouldn't happen when Apple or Nike award their design team or agency a project. But also mid to higher level clients in general don't do that
@@SatoriGraphicsThankyou so much for reply I am only sharing this because of my past experience. Some people say that just adding some color and images finishes the design. If I try to give them some design principle ideas, they don't even care. Now, because of AI, they say that AI will do everything and there's no need to work too hard. some time idon'tt know how to react to this type of people. they think designing is simple😞
@@SatoriGraphics Thanks ❤but Sir, I have watched your graphic design principles playlist, but I am confused about how to apply those principles in my design when I start designing
BUT that's not how the real world works! the client will always ask for the traditional "Catalog" "template" looking design because it serves them better
The "advanced design" texts are not legible at all. How can you say it is advanced when it missed a big design principal? Under the "521" text there is a blue shape with blue text. People with 20/20 vision will not be able to understand what is written.
Idk about this one your examples here is like comparing apples and oranges it's not a good contrast of beginner and advance. One has motion graphics the others are static which each serve their purpose. On top of that one is in English while the other is in Japanese two different styles of design based on language. Sometimes simplicity is enough and sometimes chaotic is ok it all depends on your target audience
I didn't get the point where these fancy Asian posters where eye catching. I didn't even see what was written on them. Pink on blue and white? Really? Moving objects distract from the message. The second beginner picture on the right was just fine, 3 lines, a picture. It directly says buy this from here.
You understand design more than this creator it seems. All examples shown in this video do not demonstrate advance design heuristics but I agree that beginner example #2 is the most sufficient.
