I’m a full time designer and my workplace is so sterile and uninspired. It’s refreshing to see people who have fun with graphic design and don’t take it too seriously. I’m a firm believer that you’re limiting your design solutions when you don’t get outside the box and have a little fun.

I am an aspiring entomologist, so in my world type specimen means the specimen that was used to describe a new species, the definitional specimen. I am so happy that type specimen is used in the design world for like a definitional collection of how to use type. It feels like the funniest word play to me :)

My work is very dull and sterile, I love seeing designers and artists talk about their work because it's a great escape for me, and I live this positivity! So mang videos are so negative and talk about how much they hate certain designs, but this is such a beautiful display of passion! It brightens my day!

@berg11199 Жыл бұрын

I really enjoy when my favorite creators just do talk videos! Because even though I really love the work that they do, I also just enjoy their personality. And sometimes I don’t have full brain power to fully focus on something they’re making but I still wanna watch a video from them because I like them as a person but this allows me to do so more passively lol so these are perfect to me!!

@0bviouspoetry Жыл бұрын

i really vibe with the fish and chip aesthetic. i'm not a designer and all but to me it seems to be prevalent in a lot of like maybe 70s to 90s design in cheaper restaurants, cafes and such, as well as on products and magazines, posters, labels and things made at that time. there's a lot of black, white, primary colours and evergreen. and recently it's coming back. primary blue and white has been really all over (see: the band the 1975's rebranding). i currently live in South Korea and it's really popular here, alongside this kind of cheap and 'crappy' retro design style, they call it 'newtro' here. new retro. see also: the bottle for an energy drink called pocari sweat that hasn't changed in decades and its kind of cool again. alongside that there's a lot of stylized and sophisticated reinterpretations of retro too. so interesting!

Hey Elliot! I just recently found your channel and have been really enjoying your work both here and on Instagram :) Your video got me thinking about other niche design styles that I'd seen in my life and I realized how much I enjoyed seeing how ski trail maps are presented. Something about the consistent trail ratings (green circle, blue square, black diamond) always being present across totally different maps strikes me as interesting, and I like guessing at the designers choices for the sidebar, font and legend. Do the fonts follow the trails, or are they perpendicular? Are there clouds in the sky? Did they plop a bunch of minimal vector trees everywhere or is it more realistic? I think a lot of decisions are based on legibility, but I bet there's a ton of aesthetic choices to be made as well. Anyways I'm rambling but thanks for the food for thought! Great video
