When looking at these videos from the thumbnail, I always think, "Damn, 30 minutes? I don't know..." But by the time it's over, I have no regrets of watching. Really enjoyed this video, I would personally like to see more like it. It reminds me of graphic design at secondary school which was why I chose to study Graphic Design in the first place. From watching this, it is clear to me that Chris Do is a good design leader, taking time out to actually talk to staff, and really work through solutions. This good design leadership is something that I feel is absent from my University, and if anything has knocked my confidence as a designer because of less than constructive criticism. This channel shows that collaboration works in design, and if anything I need to reach out to good design leaders in order to improve. Thanks for the videos, keep it up.

Fantastic attitude.

I love how Chris analyzes every inch of detail in it. It just shows that he wants the best out of the output.

What I really enjoy about this is, as a "lone wolf" kind of guy, you quickly see the value of feedback and constructive criticism. Put together the right size team, and spend the time reviewing everyones piece, priceless. We learn to put away artistic weakness and the value of clear opinions from others. Chris, does a great job at this. Makes you want to send off your work for his criticism and get the feedback to apply to your efforts. Edited to add: I had to pause the video and go out and surf the site. Absolutely incredible. Adding to the fact that I'm viewing this on my 48" screen. Sent a link to my best buddy and we are heading to Ole's in the not so distant future. Amazing work to you all. The site manages to do justice to the experience which anyone would admit is a challenge. I could smell the air and feel it. Result? Conversions. I don't want to go. I HAVE to go. Brilliant.

I think the most important part of being an artist or designer is bringing yourself to that higher level. You don't go with what you just made, you take a step back and reflect on your work, you converse about it, critique it, and find ways to do it better and be better. In doing so you will see the improvements reflected in all your other skills too. I think this is what Chris Do is exactly showing us.

Love the work through, Have watched a couple of times now - shaping up really well - glad to have Blind, Chris Do, Sharleen Chen and the others working alongside working on Ole's site redevelopment

More of this type of videos, please! This type of tutoring and going through the whole process - wireframes, ideas exploration, feedback, iterations and rationales behind every detail, everything with such a talented designers and a powerful leader - that’s something you cannot get anywhere else in the online world. So thankful for these videos - they teach and calm at the same time. Keep it coming, you’re the best! 💪

My takeaway from this video? "Design is an iterative process". Awesome to watch the process in action in the hands of a capable agency. In-house design, in my experience, can lack this sort of rigorous back and forth collaboration, in exchange for down-&-dirty, get-it-out-the-door-yesterday designs. This video is another great resource for my students. Looking forward to more.

i'm from Sri Lanka where we don't get much education in the design side. I'v been in the business of design for about 6 years now and been struggling to define small things in design. Why does not some element wont be in harmony with another, where Chris Do explains it really well. Keep on doing design reviews.

I'm from México. I work as an "unicorn" on a 360 Agency, so I do research, design and web development. My struggle is with the design universities here, that they are not good enough teaching how to properly design. They are just teaching how using adobe's software, and not how to solving problems. Yeah, they teach some theory and no doubt many of the teachers are good, but I think the real problem I see (at least with my coworkers) is that only focus on the product or design look "pretty". (and that is very relative). It is very rare occasion when they make a market study, or user research, etc... I'm a very self learning person, so, I try to teach my coworkers how to make a good interface design, or "the because of things", how the brain works when interacting with an interface, etc. To this adding the "ego" factor is really frustrating. Seeing this videos and the work you are doing, is helping me a lot to teach my teammates the "doing right" for this type of business. You take out of my head the exact words mean when these problems come. Again, thanks for these series of videos, the channel in general. And much respect from me. (Sorry for the bad english)

Such a great video! Love seeing the process...yes, more plz!

I really like the key points regarding the depth. After she fixed the edges on the photos and added the shadows everything started to feel much more organic. Also, I like how you asked if she warped/bent the shadow because anchoring it to an edge really reinforces the direction of light. Maybe even masking the shadow layers and painting out the edges so the shadows edge tapers off as well, thats just being nit-picky but I love the detail work. Also great tip regarding the blurry background image. Warping it and creating some perspective along with a field-blur effect really made the entire portion come to life. Again, awesome content. Im working 10 hour days designing and coming home to watch videos like these just to continue some inner dialogue on the topic. Cheers!

Awesome, so much going into the design the understanding the small details goes a long way, love it, I would love to see more of this raw revisions and ideas.

The exact moment I saw you sketching, ideas started rushing through my mind on different ways to create a solution to the "check availability" issue. Thanks for the awesome vid and new inspiration

Great content, and cool to see the interplay between wireframes > creative direction > creative execution > critiques. One thing I'd like to see is the interaction and planning involved in taking this finalized design to the developers, and show how they evaluate their possible execution / build, and whether there's any give-and-take / concessions to be made in the design to allow for the back end build-out.

Make more of this, as an aspiring front-end developer. I love to look at the process and the workflow of interface design like this. Love your channel a lot.

Design is iterative and it takes a while to draw out the design. The trick is to be able to pinpoint the parts that aren't working and to make corrections along the way. That is what an experienced art director can do.
