I'm an instructional designer (learning and development) coming from a background in education, adult learning and corporate training. I'm always trying to improve my design which I was never formally trained in. This guy is 100% right when he says you need to know your place in the schema of client relations. They already have their content, they more or less already know what messaging they want to get out. Projects always have to start with that thinking process of knowing what is the best way to connect the content to the audience.

I never went to design school even though I worked as visual designer for print and web. I was an illustrator who thought "oh, design is easy compared to drawing". Wrong. It might be technically easier, as in fewer lines made in illustrator. But design is way harder because every pixel/point counts. You have tons of wiggle room for composition with illustration, as 80% of the time you're not doing information design (sans illustrations used in a visual design, or comic books with the fancy lines of actions and dialogue placement) So, as a grownup who though he knew what design is, I'm so glad we got folks like you kicking us all in the ass to do better 😊

11:30 The Veracity of Sources concept is excellent. One thing to add to this is that designers can take a method that is appropriate for design-and misapply it elsewhere. A beautiful typeface is "true" for the use of solving a specific communication problem. The error here is to assume that anyone using that typeface must then be therefore on "team good" which means anything they state is factually and morally correct. But anyone can use that typeface and not necessarily be telling you the truth. They might believe they are but have been fooled themselves. (The "C-" problem has implications for critical thinking and moral reasoning sadly.) Sometimes superb designers will echo a propaganda line and seemingly be completely unaware even of the very valid criticisms of it. As often they are in echo chambers and will make no effort to find what's happening outside it directly from those with alternate viewpoints.

The last point really resonated with me. That design is about THINKING. + Mindset shift about being a designer. A designer is a person that takes content and makes it an easy way to understand the content (possibly with some goal or emotion in mind) + NOT About the content. its about the WAY it is presented. ----- "They Key to making sophisticated design.. is outside design" My thoughts: - Look at how people consume information - Understanding the psychology of "wanting" and perceived "needs" - Observe how products / ideas are successful if there was no visual design (audio? human interaction? Value? The "content"?) ----- [Notes] Interesting points on: - Rivers. (I personally never thought about this before, I just thought that it was bad to have unevening spacing. Its hard to focus on the content when I can see literal patterns while I'm reading) - going against idea of Grids. Grids for Layouts to make easier design choices, not for infinite options. - Typography, base it on the back of giants. If other people already like it, why not also branch off of them? Why try to try a brand new font that hasn't been tested. ---- I love your content, thank you for making this free for us to learn! Coming from a "hard" engineering field, Design feels felt like it has a lack of distinct steps to make a "good" design. Its not like math where 2+2=4, a good design has good points, but still feels subjective to me. I'm glad that you put your teachings out here for people to learn and gives us a more structured guideline towards what to look towards

I also believe in the cliche “It’s never too late.” I have a few professional colleagues who STARTED very late in life. 2 of them are now famous designers. (Fame and age are not the important components of the story), the important components are that “maturity” can be a very very good thing.

@StudioPractice13 күн бұрын
My advice would be to make your grid super simple. Main column, gutters etc… Then enable “base line grid” in in design to make sure your typography is baseline aligned. Frankly i think making sure you use paragraph styles (style sheets) is MUCH more important to whether your work looks well organized than “grids”… grids fuck you up by making you think shit is organized, but in 90% of instances the grid is just too granular… making almost any “positioning” seem logical. It’s a lie.

I'd add a couple caveats --> Schools are forced to be less selective due to enrollment issues (or that's an issue within the SUNY system right now as I see), and many schools are trying to decouple from the necessity for standardized test success as a marker of intelligence but are still tied to antiquated notions like the A-F grading system or even the 4 year degree system itself which would require too much infrastructural change to dismantle. The enrollment issue is gonna get really bad from my understanding once we hit 2025, not sure how it is going to effect MFA programs. The point being I don't think you're being a "hater" by saying schools are less selective. If you think about even NY and the art schools there. Some have to be selective to maintain their social cache/perception (idk, Pratt, Cooper) and that leaves a lot of people who are potentially on the cusp of being in those institutions out in the cold and forced to apply to other schools. Training or sensitizing your ability to see/looking at stuff (and maybe this is tied in with "thinking" but I think this oughta come first). Worse than the river issue, I still occasionally am telling senior/junior level undergraduate students to adjust the kerning between A's and V's and other common kerning issues. This has been an issue for me with students, but they're not looking at the design content they're making. They are so tunneled in on a special interest (concept art/sequential art/drawing elves or a furry comic) but are in graphic design because that has a greater correlation with employment/non-poverty-based existence that they do that at the expense of just making their type not be bad. There are good free fonts (Velvetyne is a good example, or many foundries typically have "trial" or "test drive" fonts with a limited character set. I'd argue that much of the "free bullshit" you mention is "fine" if you know you're probably gonna have to deal with no kerning pairs or terrible spacing or have to create outlines and adjust some curves) and any typeface can be free if you have friends/ask.

I find it funny when people think design is an "easy" alternative to engineerining. I did well in school, obtained good grades. When I decided to pursue art/design in college, it became much more difficult. The classes are twice the length of any other major and the end goal is infinitely more ambiguous. Professors also assume the time you spend on homework is propotional to your in-class time (twice as long) so you end up spending twice as much time on homework than other majors.

These things are true. But I have to talk about this: "You have to be able to see this instantly..." Not all type is set with a computer. Not all content is out of the designer's control. Historically, you'd just change the words to fit and limit rivers. Understanding "why" this is a thing - matters. You can't just instantly _get it_. Resolution changes as you engage. But you do round that out at the end a bit. "Hundreds of thousands..." - Scary! Maybe sticking with 10 is the best place to start. Same with music. Are infinite patches really the way to go?

Regarding the conclusion: Can you summarize by saying that design is only responsible for creating beautiful packaging for the client's content? Sorry, I didn't really understand.

I mean… it IS a grid…

Yeah, I'm not an expert; I'm a non-expert, maybe a potential client, stating that most - or almost all - of the graphic design samples shown in this video look weird and unappealing, to put it as diplomatically as possible.

I’ve learned so much from you but sounds to me like you’re describing a template instead of a grid. What you’re saying isn’t a grid is by definition a grid. Not the template you called a grid. Again, you’re the expert but just from a language standpoint I struggled with this concept.

Sophisticated=ugly? None of the images from your intro are advanced or sophisticated. When I think of sophistication, I think of Brockmann. I think of Bass. I don't think of "ugly for shock factor" or "broken on purpose." Interesting.

Those are all fair criticisms. Having said that, what would the point be of me making the work of Josef Müller-Brockmann? I mean, he already made that work. “Sophisticated” is defined as ”proceeding from a great deal of worldly experience or knowledge.” You might find my work ugly or unpleasant - I could agree with that criticism. But objectively, the work in terms of its technical construction literally makes “use of a great deal of worldly experience or knowledge” specifically as it pertains to form, content, language and typography. Take a look at the construction of the letterforms. You could argue that you don’t like them. You could argue that they are ugly. But without a great deal of technical knowledge about drawing, Illustrator, Fontlab, Fontographer, shape and form they would be impossible. My point is not to say “Oy, Bruv! %% you! My work is GREAT!” That’s not my point. I’ll entertain the argument that my work is shite (if you want to make that argument). It’s just not accurate to suggest that its construction is unsophisticated. If we look at the etymology and definition of the word.

I love the everything that you're preaching but 10:20 has got to be the most ironic part of this video. That has got to be the worst typeface to preach that you should have a good typeface to use.
@StudioPractice112 күн бұрын
Lol. I designed the typeface. You might not like it. Which is fair. But technically it is well designed. It’s sold through Emigre. Zuzanna Licko did the final pass on the font.

am i missing something... why are all the examples like... repulsive. I swear im not trying to be mean its like these things were made to be intentionally hideous. Sure its subjective but like what the hell does sophisticated mean? grotesque? not one of these things i would allow myself to look at for too long.
