Learn EXACTLY the difference between Amatuer, Pro, and Master graphic design with this quick video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J_YmhVzOkEU.html
I remember asking to my art director what specifically wouldn't work with my designs, and she couldn't articulate a phrase to describe it. She would just say "ummm it's just wrong" and that's it, and I was like "But, how, what's wrong? you're also a designer". Then I realised she was the only one in the company who would think that about my work. This is really useful, thank you so much for sharing it with us.
One critique about this video: When you show the differences between beginner/intermediate/pro, you should have an imaginary brief set up where the designer has limitations about what they can do. In the second example it would be realistic that the designer is actually not allowed to change the color of the logo, or maybe they would be required to use all the design elements provided like in the "beginner" design. Establishing similar rules beforehand could be useful to create context and more interesting thought process in videos like these.
Another thing about the typography at 8:26 is that I think it could be better if the text left of the "shop now" could be deleted all together and instead of CTA being a blue cog, it could've been a horizontal rectangle with the same color as the yellow at the right of the design.
man, how matter pro you are the result of your design its always on your client's hand. you were creating masterpiece then turn into toddler sketch as what client's wish.
I do not like the first poster pro level design. I feel that the words on the block makes it look far away. It does not draw my attention to look at it even though it has dates and other big word details.
I see you did three designs for the pro/mid/noob categories. But how the heck you create a design like a beginner, once your skill goes up and become a pro(subjective) there is no turning back even we laugh at our design we did years ago.
