A while ago I did a video talking about how to use the Golden Ratio as a grid in layout design. Today, I want to do a deeper dive into using grids in graphic design and talk about why a grid works and how to effectively use grids. Using a grid in your graphic design projects is one of the easiest ways to improve your designs. If you found this video helpful, let me know what you learned in the comments! 👇

Thank you - I just clawed my way out of a sales tunnel of a video put out by The Futur... this is what KZfaq is for, democratisation of information and entertainment. You're the real deal! You're explaining this to me in a way more relatable than my university tutor... i felt so stupid in class when I couldn't "get it". I just needed the right person to explain it to me! I don't feel the shame anymore! I'm doing editorial based stuff now I've graduated and I feel like I'm in good hands!

@jc_hardt Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! The Futur is a great resource for designers. I've learned a ton from Chris Do, but sometimes it just takes a different person explaining it to make it make sense! I'm glad I could help you on your design journey. Stay tuned for more content!

Holyyyyyt sh*t. You just connected SOoo many dots for me within this 14 minute video I am completely mindblown… I’ve been self teaching for the last few months and thought I understood the basic principles of design but after watching this it’s clear I have a lot more to learn! Within the first 15 seconds all the way to the last 30 seconds, so many things were clicking in my brain haha. The way you explained why different graphics look related at the end because they have the same grid I was like 🤯🤯🤯 You are good 😎 thanks for sharing and educating us! Much appreciated keep up the good work 👏🏼

Im in this composition course and im still confused as too WHERE i should place my text and images on a document whether it be an editorial or poster design im just not sure where to place images or text to make a successful composition that looks pleasing to the eye on a page; Do i put up top or the bottom of the page the left or the right ? its not clear to me so is there a rule or method on this topic on where to place images and text on a document to create a successful composition every or what is the best or most optimal place to start on a document or page to create a pleasing composition every time

@jc_hardt 2 жыл бұрын

The best advice I can give you Michael is to start with your most important information in the area of the page we look first. In English, we read top to bottom, left to right. So the starting place for me is always on the top left, and the finishing place is on the bottom right. This is a good beginning method of you aren't sure how to position you content!

It’s not about just appeal but also your entire UI pattern’s dependencies. As well as dev handover. I have yet to hear anyone mention vertical-rhythm and how it is the literal defining factor for every grid value you will make.

Are you referring to the grid spacing? I cannot remember what grid I was using for this example. However, I do remember giving the layout some white space, which I believe is discussed in the video!

@RockyGrenade Жыл бұрын

@@jc_hardt I think the odd spacing in this context had to do with "people having a propensity" for it. That people like a rhythm of odd numbers in visual design?

People definitely do like odd numbers! This is another reason the rule of thirds works well!

@@jc_hardt I say this with utmost sincerity, because I think you're a class act. Also, someone had the courage to tell me something similar, before, and I am now thankful for it. There's an important distinction between wearing a hat, and the hat wearing you. The same can be said for our hair, clothes, cars, etc. I think you may have worked too hard for a particular look and lost a bit of your natural image in the process. Everyone has their own tastes. But, I hope that is somewhat helpful. And at the end of the day, you do whatever the heck you want to do, my friend. As long as your lady likes it, that's what matters, because she's the one who has to live with you. Keep making good videos!
