Summary (you should still watch the video to see the examples and do the test at the end where you can quickly get all six questions right): 1. Spacing: 0:19 - don't just use open spaces, - use images as focal points or balance. 2. Font choice: 1:33 - use a clean and readable font, - pair fonts in a hierarchical way. 3. Colour choice: 2:37 - pick one colour that drives the design-forward that matches the message and the design's theme. Colours can also be used as a focal point or something used from background textures to accents. - Use two highly contrasting colours. 4. No clutter: 3:52 - Bare essentials. - Practical and visually appealing. 5. Balance: 4:42 > For every bold/heavy element in the design, look for ways to balance them with shapes, space or lighter elements to establish harmony in the overall design.
This is really good thank you, it actually clarified some stuff from the video for me. But I still don't understand what font hierarchy means..Or what exactly is the relevance, function & point of balance.. Is it just that fact that one or 2 bold things within an empty space wouldn't look great so we balance them out with lighter elements? I feel like I'm missing something out. It'll be great to get to know something that could help clarify :)
@@unnatishe-her5916 You're welcome, from what I understand the relevance and point of balance is to keep a levelled quantity of information that are treated differently (so not too much graphics or text). For the typography balance that's to enable the brain to filter information by importance and to aid in forming a structure of the information. Font hierarchy is to distinguish key/primary elements from secondary and tertiary ones.
In my experience, while that does happen sometimes, usually that just means the minimal design wasn't effective. If ever I get that input I try to rework my approach and often times without adding anything, but rather refocusing the design, the client will be ecstatic
1. Balance 2. Try to only use 1-2 font families 3. To add impact and to grab attention 4. A focal point 5. Use 2 Contrasting colors 6. Implement hierarchy aaahh i got 1 wrong :D thank you for this amazing video, keep going on this way!
graphic design afficionados: *watching vids like these religiously and thinking working in the industry must be the epitome of stylishness actual graphic designers: *still fantasizing of a world where we can apply these pretty-sounding principles that are rarely even used outside of big branding projects i like watching these videos because they show graphic design at its most romantic: theory, where you have creative freedom and no client shoving their tackiness into the work
If you're a GREAT hairstylist, you're not gonna let your client walk out with a mullet, even tho he asked for it. A designer's job is almost more communication and persuasion than pixel pushing.
A client's "tackiness" is relevant as long as it achieves the goal. Unless you're a graphic designer for no reasons other than it being your hobby. In the industry, people ought to know how to respect _preference_ and recognize the structure of supply and demand.
@@xeler8r there will be an extent of consideration for a certain request, depending on the amount of professionalism required from the designer. It's like denying someone their choice of rare steak because you think you know better. But you see, dear, it's a thought applicable in fast food chains but not in fine dining. Siiiiiigh. Idk why a lot of people have a hard time separating personal from professional.
I've always seen minimal design as borderline abstract. I've tried countless times giving options like these to clients I've handled, and not more than twice did they choose this option. With all the information they require to convey, it just wasn't feasible to do the design minimally. As an art director, I was taught and I learned to think of design to be like water, able to adapt to anything. So this minimal design, though it is great, I think is really a niche.
I think its bold to assume they just "werent paying attention" (especially since it seemed like a joke) I took a 4 year graphic design course in highschool (which was supposed to prepare me for work passed an associates), but for the majority of it they A) hired instructors who had no actual experience in it and B) if they did, they were never actually there because they were on business trips or at meetings or etc etc. Almost everything i know is from personal study. I would be EXTREMELY happy if any of my instructors offered information/advice even remotely close to this video, considering its just basic elements+principles and how they can be applied.
I like the pop quiz at the end. It forces me to review what I have just watched. That's a great idea. I aced it but that's not important. I think all designers need to take time to look at research, think about style and review basic concepts. Thanks, always great work!
Like from me on the quality of the video content itself, the way everything is structured and presentet. The bottom bar that shows the tooic keeps you in the loop, and then the final part to test gained knowledge is marvellous. This is overseen by many youtubers and should be implemented more and more. That brings the whole new level of engagement. Well done on this!
Got every question right at the end of the video! ^ ^ Not really a brag as much as a testament to your capabilities as a teacher to lay out the information clearly and effectively. I'm new to design and this was extremely helpful.
@@SatoriGraphics actually it's a good idea, helps to memorize the content that you provide

I believe that what we learned in the university, it's important, it really helps us, but in the moment, that moment that just blow away in a couple months, so then we get a hit of another knowledge, that really we start to fall in love with, so what we learned in those couple months back, suddenly is not that important when we get this fresh, dynamic and exquisite knowledge. So, in this video we could see all those moments in the past, we just clasp all of this, with love and passion, that's how i feel it, a continuous flow of love and passion.
I participate in a team which tries to push our company graphics into minimalistic direction. Difficult but with small steps possible. I found this video very usefull and interesting. Thank you.
@@SatoriGraphics nice you answered. I just sent your video to my boss and specualist to study for a weekend. Maybe you can support us stronger & operationally.
5/6, which isn't bad, I guess. I don't have any interest in graphic design, but I really liked the style of your video. The things you were saying all made sense, and when you showed the examples it made it really easy to appreciate the effects you were talking about. My favorite part was the test. It's not something I've seen in any UA-cam video and it was pleasantly surprising. Made me realize I was paying more attention than I thought.
Fantastic tips, thank you for sharing. A strong and great advice to designers, and the reason why minimal design is the preferred method for those who truly understand design, is to understand the content, to have robust categorization skills to create superb taxonomy of the content and provide the better hierarchy of elements.
good video! very inspiring, modern approaches and complex! Thousands and thousands of graphic designers have fallen in love with only minimal design after two days of GD school, and they try to emulate this style even for the local carpenter's flyer. Just be careful and remember: a real graphic designer follows brands, not trends.
Great video. 9 out of 10 on the test. In the current environment of covid created isolation, with collaboration and creative interaction nearly impossible, your videos are really filling the void. What an oasis of great content! Very glad I discovered your channel. Thanks,
Thanks for the concise and informative video. A great reminder of the elements of minimal design. You have a clear and very helpful presentation style as well, which added to this video’s effectiveness.
Now put your skills to practice and make a minimal logo design with this tutorial ua-cam.com/video/tHfFkXpJ0E0/v-deo.html 🧡
We need to make UA-cam the new school system. I’m actually learning useful skills.

@@xeler8r Very good point. Lots of jobs on upwork now say "open to opinions" because they don't know wtf they're doing. That's why they're paying us.

I have already learned more in this 8 min video, than in my 4-year graphic design study
lol... Sorry, I found that funny x.x
@@naono9715 Worries, It kinda is XD
Replicating formulas isnt learning nor undestanding. Your 4-years of graphic design gave you dept, not only tips and tricks.
I think its bold to assume they just "werent paying attention" (especially since it seemed like a joke)

Breadcrumb timeline along the bottom is a nice idea
I really love how you incorporated test in the end of the video.

Wish you best of luck brother. To much informative and helpful.
thanks a lot man, happy to hear that :)
I found it both enjoyable and useful!
keep up the great work!
your videos will truly come in handy to me sooner or later.

Thank you very much, your channel is amazing. I train every single day to become a better designer. Love from France
This is great, I've once tried to design such but I didn't turn out so well, but this tutorial has shown me the light. That's bro.
Great info, really loved the test at the end and the way it was implemented!
Your tutorials are impactful...you are doing a great great job!
thanks a lot bro, much appreciate the feedback
Great video, good timing and speaking. Excellent content
hey thanks a lot Lin, have yourself a great day
Great class!! I disagree about Impact, since it full black bold it creates awesome negative logos. The rest of the video is just great. Thank you!
5/6 for test. this video is very good for designers. Thumbs Up dude
6/6 🙌 Such a great video & love to see you figuring out such a solid format. Thanks as always!
Love this! Keep em coming, sure self-taught designer such as myself appreciate it! Thanks
Love you for ur passion and consistency
Hey thanks so much, design is my jam!
5:24 I also feel that the number 5 is peeking out from behind the "best wishes" message - mimicking the sunrise.
Thanks Man! Definitely made me subscribe (BTW the Test was a very nice touch.)
Cheers for the subscribe and hope you find my content useful in the future :)
Your clear voice is your usp.
6/6 Thank you Satori, will definitely be using these tips in my next designs.
Excellent!
counter tip #1: 0:00:15 - work precise. shapes do not match how they should at the left rounding. if there is less, less needs to be perfect.
The examples were sooo helpful and made each of the points easier to understand!!
Good video! As a dancer, I appreciate you utilizing dancers as focal points at the start of the video. Also got a 5/6 (said d on last question).
That's awesome to hear thanks
