Thank you - I just clawed my way out of a sales tunnel of a video put out by The Futur... this is what KZread is for, democratisation of information and entertainment. You're the real deal! You're explaining this to me in a way more relatable than my university tutor... i felt so stupid in class when I couldn't "get it". I just needed the right person to explain it to me! I don't feel the shame anymore! I'm doing editorial based stuff now I've graduated and I feel like I'm in good hands!

Thank you so much! The Futur is a great resource for designers. I've learned a ton from Chris Do, but sometimes it just takes a different person explaining it to make it make sense! I'm glad I could help you on your design journey. Stay tuned for more content!

Love your videos, easily one of the best graphic design contents. Keep at it!

Holyyyyyt sh*t. You just connected SOoo many dots for me within this 14 minute video I am completely mindblown… I’ve been self teaching for the last few months and thought I understood the basic principles of design but after watching this it’s clear I have a lot more to learn! Within the first 15 seconds all the way to the last 30 seconds, so many things were clicking in my brain haha. The way you explained why different graphics look related at the end because they have the same grid I was like 🤯🤯🤯 You are good 😎 thanks for sharing and educating us! Much appreciated keep up the good work 👏🏼

It’s not about just appeal but also your entire UI pattern’s dependencies. As well as dev handover. I have yet to hear anyone mention vertical-rhythm and how it is the literal defining factor for every grid value you will make.

Im in this composition course and im still confused as too WHERE i should place my text and images on a document whether it be an editorial or poster design im just not sure where to place images or text to make a successful composition that looks pleasing to the eye on a page; Do i put up top or the bottom of the page the left or the right ? its not clear to me so is there a rule or method on this topic on where to place images and text on a document to create a successful composition every or what is the best or most optimal place to start on a document or page to create a pleasing composition every time

The best advice I can give you Michael is to start with your most important information in the area of the page we look first. In English, we read top to bottom, left to right. So the starting place for me is always on the top left, and the finishing place is on the bottom right. This is a good beginning method of you aren't sure how to position you content!

My man. your face isnt rugged enough yet to sport that Stache. thin out your brows with some selective plucking. allow a thin 5 Oclock shadow to grow. trim up or remove the stache. Glasses are optional and it would appear more pleasing to women as the 4 sitting with me all agree and are all contributing to this comment. 3 of 4 say contacts would work out better for your appeal.

@@jc_hardt I say this with utmost sincerity, because I think you're a class act. Also, someone had the courage to tell me something similar, before, and I am now thankful for it. There's an important distinction between wearing a hat, and the hat wearing you. The same can be said for our hair, clothes, cars, etc. I think you may have worked too hard for a particular look and lost a bit of your natural image in the process. Everyone has their own tastes. But, I hope that is somewhat helpful. And at the end of the day, you do whatever the heck you want to do, my friend. As long as your lady likes it, that's what matters, because she's the one who has to live with you. Keep making good videos!
