School is what you make it. Thing on youtube are "great" because you seek for specific answers with no expectations. In art school you expect the school to learn you specific things and if dont you blame it on the school.

Real simple: Art doesn't answer any questions. Actually, it opens the floor for questions. Design solves problems.

I happen to think art answers the questions the mind on it own cant even begin to. I find nowadays people get stuck because they are stuck on the wrong questions. Art can give the answers to the question people ought to be asking. "What causes this feeling. Oh that. I recognize that. thats so true" When I come across things I didn't know to be a thing, its usually through art where I recognize it first. It also answers the question of how to get through to people who are too afraid to be wrong. Art says, "this is this feeling, if you feel the same, then its this for you too."

Artist - People listen to you and your expressions Design - You listen and provide solution

I just like how Chris somehow shows he's also still learning as well. is it just me that notices that difference? To be able to teach like that is quite the fine line.

For me, the difference between art and design is this: Both sides are connected and have creativity as a common source, but the difference is that art must be open to interpretation, the viewer reflects his inner world with that of the artist. Art can be inspiring and/or disturbing, everyone can take what he or she wants from the artwork. Art often asks the big questions of our time, but can rarely give answers. Design is the exact opposite: Ideally, design should communicate the same thing clearly and understandably for everyone. Design can also be inspiring, but it should reflect the vision/values of the brand/client. Design solves specific problems, i.e. develops answers to specific questions. Right in between you end up with art that is uninspiring but perhaps beautiful to look at and design that is smooth and beautiful but inefficient and does not solve the client's problems.

I agree. I would say that art communicates with the subtle, design communicates with the physical. Art gives a point of view, design responds to a problem. Two different roles. Two important disciplines.

The world without design is gonna be troublesome but the world without art is like when you say you love someone but you can’t feel it. Btw, thanks for this Chris! So much love from 🇮🇩

The designer has a concrete role, the artist has a subtle role. From my point of view a designer is more a translator, he translates his client's ideas into images. He is on the border between a psychoanalist and a craftsman. By the way, thank you for all this teaching. Best from France !

So much value in this one and I have never seen Chris talk about it like these. I'm super grateful! Things might start coming together for me because of that!

Amazing wealth of life transforming coaching, Chris.

I needed to see this. I was experiencing a lot of internal turmoil over seeing myself as a generalist. I didn't understand why it was so difficult for people to see that it was a good thing, but now I see it from their perspective. I agree that consistently showing people quality work, and building up a reputation is important. I think now I just have to pick a lane and commit to it externally, while internally allowing myself to explore.

Maan, this was PACKED with knowledge and thought mechanisms that you seriously won't get anywhere else. Thanks Chris and the Futur team for sharing!

It's so humbling how Chris was extremely surprised by how he answered Jane's question by 100%, but the real fact is Chris is always answering all of our questions for 1000000000% :"). Thank you for sharing!

Excellent video, thank you for posting this. It’s been 20 years since I went to art school and I find these new perspectives very refreshing and helpful. Subscribed.

I love listening to your talks, wow, just so amazing! You really had me at 'They're not just broke, they're broken!' So true. I generally repeat these talks over and over while I work, always picking up new things! Thank you for this!

I've literally been debating with myself for a month on whether to be a generalist web developer (fullstack) or a specialized web developer (frontend, backend, etc). Either answer made me feel like I was losing something, but the brilliant way you answered it made it so I can have my cake and eat it too. Thank you so much, you gained a subscriber.

This stream has really blown my mind. Before watching it, I heard about TheFutur and Chris Do but never watched any video till the end, I felt so miserable for that. But now I think I will watch every stream since now. THANKS, Chris for bringing this quality information.

34:00 I love the way that you give examples of how to reframe things! A very good conversation!

I think the first question resonates with a lot of designers when first starting out. Many of us started learning design because of a passion for art and creativity. However, the further down the design road you travel, the less it seems you can indulge your personal creativity. The vast majority of designers will get their foot in the door with in-house positions pushing pixels at the whim of various clients or senior managers - largely at the mercy of strict brand guidelines and myopic briefs. The early career grind can be disillusioning unless you can demonstrate enough value to climb out of the pixel pusher roles, or dedicate enough free time to pushing out your personal creativity so that people start to seek you out.

Watching this really makes me reflect on when I was younger. This young adults have so much to learn and grow from... This makes me feel old. 🙃

I don't even know why I went to school.. They taught me nothing. Thank you for this value!

Thank you! You are a great communicator & teacher. Great value content. It was 100% worth every minute!

Thanks a lot for these whiteboard sessions Chris! These are gold! I do want to become a specialist but find it hard to see what is the right fit because I like many different things (although they all pretty much connect with each other).

this channel is fantasctic, I went to art school for 6 years. Wish we had these type conversations!

Thank you so much for this video! I just woke up and realized something profound in my life. LOVE CHRIS!! 🙏 "New, is taking the old and bringing it back in a NEW WAY!" This clip has been lingering around on my page. I saw it like 10 time in the last month and I don't tend to watch longer videos unless it keeps popping up on my page. COOL!

I loved this whole video, lovely panel of designers/ artists they seem nice , I call these people the drag and drop generation. I always tell people in the early stages of learning to source everything they can. They won't always have to do this in life but it makes them appreciate things more. The last client that said "I could have got this on fiver", i handed them the files and told them some people cannot work together. Trading with other creatives is a brilliant way of doing things. I do it all the time!

Mr. Do was in serious sensei mode for this one. Excellent job of patiently illustrating his perspective.

Definitely love the generalist vs specialist idea that you spoke of❤️ something that I’ve thought of the last few months going through school. I like to say Chris is like my design and business coach through his talks on YT

I love the insight that the words you choose shape your reality... it reminds me of something Stephen Fry wrote that has stuck with me ever since I read it, which is: "language is the parent of thought" ... it's amazing to consider that we might only truly conceive something when we have the language for what it is and what it is not. And of course it's such a powerful perceptive tool. Always with the nuggets Chris, love it.

So before watching this video, I really hope I get the enlightenment and encouragement from this to continue my path as a designer and not as an artist.

That really puts it into perspective!

I feel like we shouldn´t say to ourselfeves that "we need money", since it´s a chaining tought. As an artist, a designer and a healer, for me was really liberating to think "I want to serve people, as an act of love, therefore meterially I want money as an objective and functional measure of that succes, and also as a way to make my inner feelings and ideas to meterially prosper and spread"

Art is communication. It is a highly evolved level of expressing feelings, experiences and ideas. Whether through fine art, music, dance, literature, film etc. Most Artists explore our humanity by bringing their subconscious to the conscious level. Artists often experience “flow” (a psychological state of optimal experience) while practicing their craft. The monkey brain shuts down and you seamlessly preform without thought. This explains why some Artists might say they’re creating Art for its own sake and not to intentionally express anything specific. I often become frustrated or bored with people struggling to define Art/ asserting that only certain things are Art. I see such discussions as philosophical, subjective and wastes of time (Not to say philosophy is, just that these types of discussions are). Art is simply the latest language we use to communicate with ourselves and/ or each-other. Just as there are many different languages people may use to communicate, there are many different forms Art may take. As we evolve, so will the sophistication of our communication and therefore our “Art”.

omg ive been thinkiin a lot about this lately. thanks for episode!!

one of the very best videos ever. great information as always.

Welcome to the Futur

The important distinction is whether or not the graphic designer or artist has done anything to show in their portfolio. If they do NOT, charging too much could prevent them from achieving non-financial benefits like joy, better health, generosity, building an amazing portfolio etc. The major reason why many freelancers lack work or opportunities is their unwillingness to invest in developing their skills, relationships and practices. For exceptional people have evidence of their talent and skills ample so they could follow your high pricing strategy.

hello... here from indonesia... The Futur fans..... 😉

This is a great discussion. Concerning "the fear of design everywhere" as threatening competition seems very real. But it is not. On the contrary. The competition for good design spreads out exponentially. I was a print expert and a print design expert when multimedia and the internet exploded onto the scene around 1997-ish. I was desperately learning how to make motion things, interaction things, video things, audio things, 3D things, Director/Flash things and html web pages. All at once I realized it will become impossible to master the Internet. And I was self defeated until I read an article in Wired magazine where I learned at the time there was an estimated number of new web pages posted every hour that were measure in hundreds of thousands. And I knew that number would go up. My great awakening was this. Over 99% of new web pages look terrible. I will have people that need to improve website design until I pass away, or their is not electricity. The needs for good visual artists and designers seems to be exploding. The unnoticed need is all the people making all the web pages, need their web pages to work well and look attractive. They need you.

Excellent talk. So much value

I've been scolded by a lot of people telling me that art and design are not the same thing because of the making stuff for someone else idea or problem solving way of thinking. What about commissions? You are hired to solve a problem using art, drawing a comic book cover and while you are using some design skills you are still only applying art, not making it for yourself, not even using things that come from you and it's to solve a problem. I'm starting to think that when people say art they think of high abstract art or something along those lines while art has more variations than design, while incorporating it.

I kinda agree with you except this part _"not even using things that come from you "_ 🤔 When making an art commission, the source material may not be from me, but I definitely DO use something that comes from me: My own personal years of experience, style, unique use of tools, etc. Some artists for example get hired just because of their style (or one of their styles) because others want art in that specific style (or similar).
