I’m happy you enjoyed it! ❤️🙏

Thank you so much!

Yes! I'm trying to get all the videos out, but a video on choosing a grid will likely come after I go over using 3-, 6-, 55 and 7- column grids. I'll try my best! 🫣

I try my best, so I appreciate it it's the care is being noticed. Thank you for watching and the support ❤️

Hi Marina, I responded via email, but I'll post here in case people are reading through the comments: Focus: It should be on typography layout and color. You're probably strong with layout and color given your illustration background. Exploration: It's important to showcase a range of design abilities, such as different typography styles, a clear understanding of different grids, and color palettes that make sense for the art direction of the project. Context: Design always includes a client and the projects have a lot of moving parts, so I always find it stronger when portfolios have those projects in context, such as posters, invitations, magazines, brochures, websites, social media graphics, marketing collateral, event design, etc. Not necessary to show all of these, but wanted to give you some ideas

Yes! You absolutely nailed it. Are you an HCI designer?

I created it manually for the purposes of the video. I always use InDesign for layout!

You got it! Thanks for the continued support 🙏

Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏

I would agree that Photoshop can do everything in this video specifically, but it can’t do everything else that InDesign offers, so the benefit is having all the tools in one app vs doing color in Photoshop and then typesetting in InDesign. I know it’s a huge hurdle learn InDesign, but it would open up opportunity to work on a breadth of other projects. Photoshop still has a place in the workflow, but when it comes to layout design, InDesign is the most robust to work on any project.

Thank you so much! Specifically in InDesign? or Design in general? Design is a little tougher... I can see why creators don't do it often. Let me know. I'll see what I can do!

Of course! I thought I got a little carried away on this one, but the work seems to have been worth it. Thanks for watching ❤️

Thank you! I really need to get the full series up 🥹

Awesome! I nervous about this one, but it sounds like the explanations were enough?

It is the main content, or largest in hierarchy, similar to the hero section of a website!

Haha! I actually have a reasoning for this. When I work on my content, I try to strip it of as many design elements as possible so viewers focus on the topic, in this case grids. I could do an exploration of dropcaps… need think about that one. Oh and this is a larger reminder for me to get a newsletter out soon 🫣

@@tirsogamboa I'll be looking forward to that! I'm actually recommending your channel to my kids and colleagues! Keep it up bro! You're doing AWESOME! May I just add one more. Have you upgraded your video recording setup? Looks so sharp and Hi-res! Canon? Sony? It looks really good!😃😎

@@maykestrada thanks! I use Leica. My main camera actually broke a few months ago, so I've been using my Q (which isn't made for video) and then this loaner until my camera is fixed. It's kind of a mess to be honest, but if it's clear and subjectively better than iPhone quality, I'll take it!

I’m going to think about 8 and 12 columns… they’re not usually grids that I suggest, but maybe I can come up with something!

I absolutely will! Thank you 🙏

I will! Finally getting into a groove of making videos 🙌🏼

It depends on the form your printer sets up. If they do 12 as I did in the video, they would just print 5 forms of 12 pages each and then bind them together at the end

You got it, thank you for watching!

Thanks so much! Just trying to do my part in the design community ❤️

I've seen people default to always using a baseline grid, but I've only used them when I worked for a newspaper and the feature well of magazines. I still need to do a video on using column grids... Thank you so much for subscribing!

I'm excited, thanks for always supporting 🙏

haha thank you!! I like the yellow polo as well! ❤️

thanks so much!

Hi Shannon! Yes, one of the best trips to Antigua. One day... can we work together again?!

It is Ivar Display Condensed from Letters From Sweden foundry

Thank you!! I seem to have a cadence on the channel lately, so trying to carry it on. thanks for watching 🙏

Oh, i'm familiar with that, but food is always a reference for type in my book!! ❤️

Thanks much and welcome to the channel! ❤️🙏

Thank you!!! 🙏 how many of them did you choose for me? All of them? Haha

You got it! Now I just have to come up with more… 👀 I won’t let you down!

Haha it takes time to “see” and it takes a little longer to be confident in what you see. I’m glad it was somewhat challenging. Thanks for watching 🙏

First, congrats on the new job!! Pulling at my heart strings for a fellow magazine designer… I will make a one-time exception since you haven’t signed up for one. Send me an email and we can set it up. Have safe travels! 🙏

NOOOO!!! That was not the goal! Oh man, there are enough struggles in the design career. The last thing I was is to spread any ounces or doubt. I think I’ll try to make this a regular video idea on the channel. You’ll get there!

@@tirsogamboa I actually thank you for shaking my confidence. I want to improve and I can only do so by going outside my comfort zone. Please do more of these. And could you provide me some resources for these kind of balance things? Like visual center stuff, please?

Thanks so much! ❤️

We all start somewhere! I’m not sure when, but eventually we get to the “I was blind, but now I see” stage and anything before is the past. I appreciate the feedback! Just trying to make design more approachable for everyone ❤️

5 pairs (not including the shades you clipped on) 😉

@@Yungsalt30 You were the only one responded!!! Thank you so much for doing the prompt. 🙏🙏🙏 Since no one else did the challenge, I will honor both mentoring sessions you! Please send me an email to get them set up! [email protected] Can't wait to connect! ❤

@@Yungsalt30 I just want to make sure you saw this! Let me know if you'd like to set up the mentoring sessions

Thank you!!! 🙏
