Well, Abi! l'm was struggling in making the concepts and getting the ideas for logo design. I saw your video 2 weeks ago, after then stucked at your channel. You gave me the direction, how to start. Thank u soo much for your work for a beginner. But would love to see a video on 'Brand Style Guidelines'...
Beautiful!! Would you ever consider doing a video about your process with clients? I think it would be helpful to a lot of us who are freelancing. Especially how you handle common problems when they arise.
Love that stacked logo Abi😍 I'd love to see a video where you talk about the initial stages of booking your clients (strategy, presentations that kinda stuff) have a lovely day! x
That’s the thing I love about creating brands, I like to steer away from what everyone else is doing so it makes you stand out as a business! You’ll less likely to get a homeware brand with branding like this and I love that 🤭
Thank you! I actually haven’t taken Chris Do’s course!! I went to college and did A Levels in Fine Art, Graphic Design and Psychology. Then got an apprenticeship in graphic design and then went on to work with another company as a graphic designer for 4 years🤭 then decided to start on my own as a freelancer and now we are here!! Who knows what will happen in the future, but thank you! X
Your videos have a flow and consistency that I like. It's not just about using Illustrator but something more -- the design process and mental work -- that sets your videos apart and your videos are immensely helpful to budding designers like us. Thank you so much! Keep going.
I love this! Amazing work! What I love most about your videos is you are always shocked by how good they look! You are talented, own it and keep the videos coming 🙌
I use photoshop and I download the mockup, go into the layer of photoshop and one layer will be named ‘design’ or something that indicates that your artwork needs to go there. You double click into that layer, place your artwork, save it and your artwork will be placed in the mockup! Normally when you download some mockups there will be a PDF help guide that will direct you through how to amend the mockup if you’re stuck x
I LOVE YOUR WORK!! It’s so inspiring as a graphic design student❤️ question- once you create all your art boards that show off the logos and brand colors, what’s the best way to export everything and present it nicely?
Waooo. I think its your 5th or 6th video that i see..... first of all you are so beautiful.... ur eyes, lips and smile :) specially a mole on ur neck is disturbing me to focus on work. . . . . . your work is very helpful to create a brand. . . . i am also a logo designer, properly first time i observe how to make a brand identity. your next videos will be helpful for me. Keep on GOORI..... your very Well did.
i am really keen to be a graphic designer but i have a full time job.bit tough to focus on learning softwares.if you could suggest how can i learn softwares to become a designer like you :) really like your creativity the way you come up with ideas. please if you can advice how can i be a designer? which basic level do i need to start?
Thank you for all the videos Abi. Please can you make a slow paced video for complete beginners? I find font manipulation difficult and also how to make patterns and details on how to mock up. Basically your entire videos but for ‘dummies’. I really look forward to it. Thanks
I cant for the life of me figure out how to scale a logo i created for a ig profile pic. I changed the canvas size to 110x110 pixels and no matter how small i got, it’s not getting smaller when i try to upload to ig profile
You are insanely insanely good! I'm so glad I came across your channel. You have given me so much new insights. As a self-taught designer, this is super super helpful. Thank you!
I'm very much a fan of the logotype. Love what you've done. However, I feel that with placing a box around the four-letter square logo it emphasized the negative space in the top right with the "L" in a way that I personally find off-putting. Love your channel it's very helpful and inspirational. (Yes I'm aware this comment is 8 months late lol sorry)
Thank you! Yeah I can see where you’re coming from, one of the good reasons to show your work online i guess! You can go back to old videos and posts and see how far you have developed! Thank you for your support ☺️
Hi Abi, Slightly off topic but are yiu happy with the Sony ‘V-log’ camera that you use? Think it’s over £600 so just wondered if you think it’s good value for money with urs features and quality? ps what do you use for your RU-vid video editing?
Hey, I definitely think it's worth it! I still use it to film all of my youtube videos, it's such a great little camera with great quality and lots of features!
Love seeing your process and thinking! It always helps me seeing other designers work and see their thinking process as then i know that im actually doing things right or learning from them if its wrong 😊😊 keep up the good work!
Hey, Abi. Do you randomly think of these projects, or do you generate them from a website? I'm searching for a resource for generating ideas for fun projects. Or at the very least, tips on how to generate ideas.
They are actually just randomly thought of! I'm not sure if you follow me on Instagram but I put out a 'creative glow challenge' at the start of each month, it's basically a brief of a made up brand and my audience create branding for it, there are also prizes for the winner. Check it out if your interested: instagram.com/itsabiconnick/
Your Designs looks so Good and I love them❤ but I just have 1 problem which is that you just made logo. Is there any logic why there are 2 P joined inverted. You made the wordmark by keeping the vibe in mind is good but how did u make a logo.. you know na that the full form of logo is - Logic Oriented Graphic Object
can you say anymore about that questionnaire you send to clients? would be nice if you could elaborate more on the behind the scenes of your branding strategy
I love watching you choosing the right font! I always guess what you'll choose and I am always right!!! I AM FEELING A CONNECTION. Char! Hahaha thank you so much for the amazing contents!
A huge fan abi. Love your content but may I suggest having a little animation to show the keyboard shortcuts or tools you use. I always find it difficult to see what tools you use because I understand that the video is in time lapse. It'd be so much helpful. Thank you. Love you!
Hii abi❤️❤️ You are a true inspiration for someone who js struggling to get a fucking idea for a logo designs and Branding . I loved you and your contents at first sight . So cool . Loads of love from a passionate Brand Identity Designer ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video as usual! You are so incredibly talented 😻 I am aspiring to start my own brand and am feeling so overwhelmed with branding. I don't have the funds yet to hire a graphic designer but still want to start playing around and try to find my "brand". Any advice? Thank you ❤️
I stumbled across your channel while searching for some tips to help me design my own logo for my interior design business! I think I've got the logo set, but I would also love to make a ''brand book'' for myself. Just low-key but with enough info. I would find a video on that super helpful! I also really enjoy watching you create these brands from scratch. I love it!
This is really nice I’ve seen two of your passion videos, and breaking the rules video and I had to subscribe! I’m already learning a lot and being inspired! Keep up the great work Abi 😊
@abidesign always enjoy seeing your process videos. Just curious how much time would you say you typically spend on each stage when you are working with a real life client on a real world project and about how many ideations would you say you go through before reaching a final design?
I have been loving your videos! What size art board and squares do you use? Also how do you drag and drop from Pinterest without loosing image quality? When I drag and drop pins the images become so quality
Thanks Abi! Your brand design video is always my favorite to watch. Love to see more of your creative videos. Keep going! And also, can I ask a question, do you use mouse to do all of the design process in AI or do you use the wacom touchpad ?
Thank you 😊 Always appreciate your comments! I just use a mouse, I know a few designers that like Wacom tablets, but I've always preferred just using a mouse.
