What are your 2024 design resolutions/goals?

Your video was recommended to me by the algorithm gods, and I really enjoyed it. Although I don't work in graphics, it was interesting to learn about your thought process. The blue & gold/beige redesigns are so much better; they give me a modern, classy, downtown restaurant vibe compared to the original, which makes me think of a generic restaurant with loud kids! It just goes to show the importance of design.

Thank you so much!! I wasn’t thinking of what type of restaurant the redesigns would give off, but “modern, classy, downtown” is the biggest compliment. I always aim for small design details for bigger impact. Thank you for watching! 🙏

I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been a designer for over 20 years and never experienced a redesign video that had me on the edge of my seat throwing out ideas (in my head) and then you doing them. I'm now subbed and signed up for your newsletter. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Thank you for the channel, Tirso!

Thank you for your effort. I would like a video that explains how to correctly create scale and proportion between the design elements in the poster ؟

You got it. I will do proportion next for this series!

Really great video as always!! I'm a recent design gtaduate & your videos honestly keeps my brain sharp while job searching so thank you! ^^ I did want to comment on your last redesign approach, and I wanted to know more about why you went for gold/yellow colors. I'm assuming that Social Inn has some sort of brand identity guidelines (I live in NY so I wouldn't really know lol) so wouldn't it be better to stick with their "branded" blue/cool palette? Thanks and looking forward to more of your videos! :D

Thanks so much for watching! Their site is actually in a light beige, so I don't think they're going too hard on the blue branding. For the last option, since I had already deviated from the menu design, I figured why not deviate the colors also. My hope was that it would inspire viewers to fully break away from the original branding and reimagine what the menu could be.

@tirsogamboa Hi hi, thanks so much for your response, and that's totally reasonable! I thought creating good redesigns meant not straying too far from the brand guidebook and at times, it personally felt restricting (even if I'm the one that designed the guide lol 😭) so this actually makes me feel even more excited and encouraged in breaking away from the rules when thinking about how to redesign products/brands. Thank you again! :D :D

@@gobread Awesome! For redesigns, as long as you have purpose in your design decisions, reimagine them however you feel best! I know it's hard to break away from the original, in particular, if you were the one who created the original... Change all the elements (grids, fonts, color, page size/format, etc.) to force yourself to view it with fresh eyes.
