You did an amazing job! Last night at the age of 51 I had this thought of wanting to learn Graphic design. This video had me second guessing. I don't think I have an eye for it. I wouldn't know where to start. Do you have any suggestions?

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! And this type of design is advanced so don’t ever feel that if you can’t do this you can’t do anything. The very first step is understanding what is design. What are the fundamentals of graphic design and how can you apply them to a basic layout. I got this question all the time so I created a course too to help designers walk through the basics step by step. Let me know if you want to learn more about it. But just know I have trained 60 year olds and above so 51 is not too old!

An amazing video as always, I really learn alot from you and your passion to the industry❤️👏🏻 I have one question, is it my job as a brand identity designer to do the brand strategy displayed at the first of the video or should I receive it from the client?

This was very informative, thank you for the video. My biggest takeaway was the importance of understanding the client and their needs / wants. Drilling down to the core concept of what they are looking for will get you that much closer to a design they will love. I have a question on the program to use for logo design. For this video, you state to import into Adobe Illustrator, and in another of your videos, you mention Illustrator as well for logo design. However, you answered two questions in the comments below for this video that you use and prefer InDesign. I have not used either of these programs and would be learning one, or both, from scratch. Is there one that is that much better between the two?

@4TheCreatives

Жыл бұрын

Great takeaway! The industry standard program to create logos is Adobe Illustrator. My favorite program is Adobe InDesign, but the primary use of that one is for layout design: flyers, posters, books, brochures, packaging, etc. But it can also be used for logos, though is not as diverse as Illustrator for that. Do you want to be a logo designer only or do graphic design layout as well?

Thanks for asking, good questions! I think that having a good ability to put your ideas on paper is important, you do not need to draw these type of logos, this is just the style of logos I love to do. You can do more geometric and for that you need to be good at simplifying shapes. I have a video coming out tomorrow with exercises to help with this actually. And regarding spending all that time and then the client not liking it, that is where having a really strong onboarding process is essential. You need to make sure you understand the client's concept for the brand and who they want to target so well and then do enough research so that you present this to the client so they see that this is the best possible solution for their brand.

But the best way to do it is a check in at mood board stage.
