Excellent. Every point is valid and makes the difference between a delighted audience and death by PowerPoint. Just to pick a hole: in the 15th point, it should be "consistent" and not "consistant" in the box at the bottom. Which brings us to point #16: Proof read with a sharp eye.

Great list that’s easy for anyone without a design background to follow. #1 is actually my favorite thing to solve in design. Taking long paragraphs or chunks of text and figuring out how I can break it down, shorten the words, or how can I transform them into visual concepts

TOTAL RESPECT! You got across your message very clearly and succinctly covering 15 elements of design, all which are important. Newbies could spend many hours watching videos on youtube and not learn half of what you covered!

Thanks John!

Another item overlooked sometimes is that you may need to print out your design. For me, our printers are just black-white laser printers so be mindful about your audience members printing the design when choosing fonts and colors. Also, we have several folks that are color blind in our office, so you need to take that into consideration too when using color as a differentiator within the story you are trying to tell.

If you're designing websites, don't ignore breakpoints. They're not just for different screen sizes. You can create a design just for print to make sure it looks good and doesn't waste ink

Great 101 video, i learned all these things myself. This can be great information for starters in webdesign.

Personally I think the modern web design, though it might look visually appealing the general usefulness is usually very crappy. The web is now full of sites that look good but do nothing. It's the novelty of a big full screen photo home page with nothing but a title and maybe a down arrow button. Then there is a two column alternating image on one side and meaningless text on the other, this continues boringly down to the footer which has about 50 pointless meaningless links. Then there are the mobile websites which are scaled down even further, yes they are responsive but it came at the cost of being useless. I hope trends change and websites start to both look nice and be useful at the same time. Sorry for my rant but the lack of imagination gets to me sometimes.

Nice video and good points! I notice i'm not scaling the text enough (maybe my program doesn't make it fun, quick, or smooth enough, maybe excuses) but i'm getting better at it. Also, i haven't thought that the image could drive the selection / mood of the font. Maybe it's something i've been doing already, but now i can do it more consciously. Been struggling with text over contrasty images, but lately i've come to the realization that the images often needs to be muted (or changed), or use the forementioned color overlay. Good stuff! Often simplicity is the key. I rather use more time on simplifying the text and nailing the point, rather than playing around with fonts and colors trying to compensate. Less fonts and better harmony between the few fonts chosen (2-3) is the key. Even sometimes using nothing but the same font, but varying the font size noticeably can bring the goods. Capitalize some of the text, keep the rest normal. Bold and italic where appropriate takes one far enough. All the rest is just some nice extra, but are they essential or aiding?

Great video! Thanks!

Thanks for this. I used to work beside designers at college. I was doing art of course.

I'm in my dotage, having worked as a graphic designer in the late 1960s. The most striking thing about this very sensible collections of mistakes is that it could have been produced in those days. It's remarkable. There are some eternal truths. One point; leading is pronounced leding. Line spacing used to be done by lead strip. Nice video.

Thanks for the helpful tips

Fantastic video thank you.

superb information! thank you.

First, I love your presentation. I just subscribed to your channel. I have been creating newsletters for decades. And I agree with everyone of your points. I especially dislike it when magazines put a red background page with black text. I highly dislike it when the content can't be read. I always favor white background with black text. A good book to have is, "Looking Good in Print".

6:13 The term "leading" is pronounced *ledding.* When texts were still printed with metal type, compositors would increase line spacing by adding additional strips of lead between lines of texts.

Great information

Nice video, but the line spacing (leading) is not pronounced the same as in 'leading the the way forward', but like 'leding'. It comes from the old days of print when thin strips of lead (the metal) were placed under the letters to increase line spacing. Great information, only slightly marred by almost-distorting audio. Maybe I should make a video about common video mistakes by non-video producers?! Ho ho! Merry Christmas!

Thank you.

Rally great and right...
