I have a problem with the gymnast analogy. You are not just bones when you start gymnastics, you already habe muscles that you can work with, you already have a base. But most of the time you are starting from zero when starting a business, zero as not just in experience, but zero dollars as in funding for your business.

Sir please make comparison video on web developement vs designer (there are lot of different fields in graphics designer, web design, logo, Baner,thumbnail designer) vs animation, digital art. How to choose between these? Can I do freelancing for lifetime? Can I do it without degree, college?Can I take it as a business? How to clear confusion, which one is for which person or personality, how to choose?
@jc_hardt 19 күн бұрын
A great topic of conversation! If you're just starting out, I recommend trying a bit of everything to see what you like. Typically a UI or website design role will trend more analytical, while a brand or logo design role will be more abstract. You also have to take into account personality. If you want to do branding you'll have to work with founders meaning there is a lot of discovery and communication. If you go with a more technical role, you'll probably end up working with engineers on the product team and having a lot more "deep work" time. As for freelancing long-term, you can definitely do it! I know people who have been freelancers their whole lives. It just depends on what you want to do. No college degree is required. Though, I do recommend working at an agency or for another designer for at least a few years so you can learn the trade. I hope this helps!

@jc_hardt 22 күн бұрын
A.I. might be able to design, but it's cannot create. This is why we still need artist like yourself. What makes art impactful is the WHY behind the art. It's never the art itself. Only you can develop a meaningful reason behind your creation. The reason behind the art is where all of the value is. What kind of artist are you?

I used Calibri because I thought I had no choice. I got used to it, begrudgingly. I love Helvetica, still, I would be over the moon happy if I could use it seemlessly. I hate Aptos. I hope I get used to it since I am being forced to use it or add steps to my workflow that will become thousands and thousands of extra useless steps. Microsoft sucks. Hard. Why can't we have nice things?

See, your default answer was your career path. Not your story. You answered the question incorrectly. 🫣 Let me give you an example: I grew up in Kansas in a very structured environment, but I didn't fit that mold. I was curious and expressive. I learned from a young age, mostly through RPG games, that it was way more fun to live in a world I could create and be free in. As I got older I took that philosophy with me. I've never had a "real job." Instead, I create the world I want to play in. The reason this works is because it takes about the same amount of time as telling someone about your career path, but it provides context. Notice you still got the answer to the question you're really wondering, but now you know the WHY behind it. Telling your story opens the door for more interesting questions and conversations. 🙂

On a white background, at what point, if it ever does, does a 10x10px dot that has 50% opacity, that’s scaling up, ever have more visual prominence than a 10 x 10px 100% opacity black dot?
@jc_hardt 2 ай бұрын
I don't know if there is a specific point, but try it out and you'll find a point at which the visual weight will change to the 50% opacity rectangle.
@justingiovanetti 2 ай бұрын
@@jc_hardt For example, if the body copy is 50% opacity and the first heading up from the body copy is 100% opacity, the opacity of the two should somehow affect the required difference in size. Does that make sense? Somehow normalizing the difference. If both the body copy and heading are 100% opacity, then the change in size would be greater, than if the body was 50% opacity. (Not taking weight into account)

Something that "feels modern" will actually last less long, because a stronger appearance wears out faster. In a very important way, the less something sticks out, the more it will last.
@jc_hardt 2 ай бұрын
This is very true, but I would argue this was Calibri's problem. It was designed to be "modern" but then became outdated quickly. The nice thing about Aptos is it takes inspiration from Helvetica, which has been established as a workhorse font for over 50 years and is still going strong.
@huldar 3 ай бұрын
Do you have any thoughts on the font in terms of inclusivity? Like when it comes to dyslexic people I hear that having really distinguished letters helps. Perhaps that’s a possible reason for the c and the e to be so different? What do you think?
@jc_hardt 2 ай бұрын
Great question! Super important. Lexend was actually designed specifically to help with dyslexia. I believe the designer was also a reading therapist. Certain typefaces are easier than others, and we should lean into that when possible!

I’ve been trying really hard to like it, and it has grown on me a bit, but there are things that are not making it easy. I’m a heavy Excel user so Aptos Narrow is the variant I’ve been using most. But there are some really glaring issues with it that seem to be related to how it’s being rendered in Excel specifically. Numerals look absolutely horridly narrow and amateurish at 11pt, and completely different to either 10 or 12pt (at least in the desktop app - rendering seems to be different on the web). And the ‘1’ numeral just inexplicably received a bottom bar, similar to Calibri, making Narrow inconsistent with the rest of the family (but again, only in the desktop app, not on the web). I was concerned all this was related to rendering just being terrible on lower resolution displays (my laptop is 1080p), but I’ve had the same experience at 1440p. So I’m hoping these are teething problems and once they’ve stopped messing around with it, it’ll look more uniform and I’ll eventually just forget about it.
