I found you when working on web development stuff, and today after a portfolio was rejected I decided I needed more design help so back to RU-vid I went. This series popped up on a search and I no joke just took two pages of notes. Thanks for being out there, being real, and not being pretentious. Absolutely one of the most underrated channels on this platform.
Just got an amazing title for my next blog: "You Don't Need To Be An Artist To Become A Designer, You Just Need To Learn The Mechanics" Thanks Jesse :)
Thank you, this helps alot, I'm on graphic design school but i lost my motivation, now I'm trying to get more into design and this video kicked my motivation back in.
I just feel the same! Thank you so much for being as you are Jesse and share it with us! I haven`t got this amount of motivation from anyone in a long time.
Soo, I couldn't apply art school ,I wasn't ready for exams, I simply didn't pass, and I don't quite understand why even now , my score wasn't bad , but I love drawing and art and everything , and my dream was to become an animator or graphic designer , Your video gave me hope that without that school I can become someone useful in the future, thank you . Btw I am 15 years old . And English is not my mother language .
Sounds like your doing great to me. To even have a handle if your passion is huge at your age. Work hard, do what you love, be willing to roll with the punches, and learn from everything 🤘🏻🔥🔥
Just want to say thanks! A few weeks ago I started to learn about Graphic Design but I didn't know where to begin. This video outlined the basics yet vital steps to begin the journey and motivated me even more to be a Graphic Designer. I always thought I could not be a one because I am not that great at drawing but I came to the realization that I don't have to be a Picasso to be able to share my ideas/messages through art. It will be hard since I do work full time but if it's easy then it ain't fun, also I'm a bit lucky that I work for a tech company where I get to interact with graphic designers and get some guidance and feedback. Again, thanks Sir!
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU, BLESS YOUR SOUL!! Your content is incredible and so easy to understand. I wish you had so many more subscribers because you definitely deserve it
I too am a visual learner and note taker. I find it really easy to digest content when I take notes on a topic, then immediately watch a video or two that covers that topic. Rinse and repeat.
Jesse, this is one of the most useful RU-vid video for me... Thank you for all the insights and direction you provided. I hope to become a product designer so i want to start from scratch and build a base to be come one and THIS VIDEO HAS TURNED OUT TO BE GOLD MINE. Thank you.
Jesse, these free resources are awesome. Alaka'i is starting photography and also learning design from me and from online courses. You should make an in-depth course on all of these and post on teachable so you can make some passive income. You really know your stuff and you're really good at teaching in a way that makes people like my ADHD son, pay attention.
+Make Time Now thanks that might be something I’ll think about in the future, right now I just really want to be a blessing to people and I have been having fun creating content that people enjoy. Say hi to Alaka’i for me.
Anyone has any recommendations of online courses/RU-vid channels (preferably free) that go through the theory? And thanks for this video, super helpful and gets me excited to learn! Just starting off :)
Thank you so much for this series. I'm just starting out on this journey of web design and development. Your videos are giving me a place to start. Keep doing what you're doing!
WOW!! This video was the fuel to ignite my learning! I've been working on my own design page coming very soon-CRBakerDesigns.com- and was starting to believe that I couldn't make it because of my limited knowledge...then I found Jesse's video from a sea of others and he gave me the KEYS to my own SUCCESS! GOD BLESS YOU, JESSE!!!
Thanks so much for your incredible videos, first it gave me so much motivation and light! and I had the enlightenment in my professional goal: becoming UI/UX design. And when I was trying to figure out the roadmap of this way, what to learn? what to do??? you gave me so many answers in your videos 🙏🙏. Thank you and God bless you and your family
I have to comment about how much this video is so well done, and it's one of the most complete videos I've found on this subject, literally guiding me on a direction. So thank you so much
Very good video cos the film expresses that you have experience in design and you went through all this. You have the good intention to help others also emphasise the aspect of learn,learn,learn which is the most important on any field if you are serious. Thank You man! Legit! Peace!
very good video! I have a marketing background and I am working on starting up my own business as a graphic designer a marketing support but finding hard to create and let go of my portfolio as I think is not good enough. I have created my website but did not publish it yet because I am also thinking it is not good enough. this is only delaying my start as a freelancer or taking opportunities by thinking my work is not good enough. It was very good to hear about getting out of the perfection line and into the production line. I am looking forward to the next episode. Thanks , Daniela
So glad to hear that Daniela, the best thing for you to do is start putting yourself out there and see what happens. The worst that can happen is you will get critical feedback that you can apply asap 👍🏼
Vri, don’t be me- use what talents and raw potential you have to be what the world needs- you. The world needs you for how uniquely wonderful you are. 🤘
Before you learn anything you must "Define" yourself. You got to find what you're passionate about. In order to do that you must explore different designs and get a clear idea on what you want to do. Also, better to get understand about the industry demand ect.
Thank you so much Jesse. I'm so glad that I found your channel because I'm interested in learning about design and I don't know where to start. This is such an organized video!
Really great video mate. Very helpful. I like what you said....'the designs are going to be awful to start off'....it's a learning curve. Keep making videos!
Very engaging and encouraging content! I love how the different steps you laid out can be applied to almost anything that you want to start learning! Fundamentals in theory, Tools and techniques in the field, Practice Practice, Learning by your own style, and Learning from other people. Best.
This was so concise! but also not light in information, this was a pretty great guide. Thank you! I want to focus on illustration but I'm just starting, I'm 21 so I feel like I'm a little late (couldn't figure out what I wanted to study sooner...), but, well, you gotta start somewhere. :)
I would like to start to learn graphic design, you said we should start first theory. What books do you recommend ? BTW I liked you video, and I will continue to watch all the videos.
great talk bro...Wow... amazing content... great advice... Its definitely a big encouragement for me... I'm just diving into the world of graphic design and I needed stuff like this to get me going
I m a college student but i want to learn it. I have wasted so much time in finding the correct source and i dont know a correct source for beginners please help
Love the video so much, I just started learning design but i have no clue about the theories of design, is there an e-book you can recommend to me please.
Hello Jesse. This is a really informative video, so thank you. I just wanted to ask you, of course starting out you want to do projects for friends and many small projects. I've heard that if you do "fake" projects for "imaginary" companies, recruiters can tell that you weren't working with a client. I was wondering what your thoughts were on that
Hey jassi ✌️.thanks for such a inspirational video .☺️ I am comfortable with code but struggling with design and luckly I discover your video .it's going to help me a lot . 👍 It's really feel good when you said { get out of perfection mentality }☺️
This is so helpful, I just finished my 12th grade exams, and this was quite lucid. I loved this. It makes me wanna know more and more. And this definitely encouraged me to pursue into these kinda things. I was so confused on what I actually wanna opt for, and all this exactly excites me. Thank you so much. I'd love to know more and more. ❤☺ You're a great mentor
Hey Jesse, thank you for making this video! It's so very helpful. I have a question I'm hoping you/someone can answer: I need to learn the theory of design. Can you tell me some top graphic design artists people study in design school? And/or recommend some specific books or online resources to study the theory and learn the vocabulary? Thank you!
I have learned adobe Illustrator and work as a graphic design on some small Android game, but i dont have the basic theory on drawing n concept., as I have learned things from internet by myself... So plzz guide me how to go further on these things as I m getting lost.. Please help.. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the Video Jesse. What would be the path when you want to combine sketching (of places, traveling etc) with graphik design. What would be the suggested tool?
