    Useful tips.
    1. Sketch up on paper first.
    2. Choose font close to desired design.
    3. Use simple graphic editing tools.
    4. Adjust kerning and width where needed as you do each letter.
    5. Don't perfect till redesign is effective.
    6. Use more sophisticated graphic tools to finish design.
    7. Review final design vis-á-vis brand colours.

    The timer could go in the space where camera is, it will help show all the tools being used

    These videos are super authentic to the process at real studios. Study these techniques and learn the thought process behind decisions and it will serve you and the client well. Having the exaggerated timeline isn't that far off actually, from a business perspective design is all about time and money.

    Just glanced over the comments, I didn't see it mentioned... Why bother with modifying and R and worrying about deleting, smoothing and glitchy curves, instead of just typing and using a P?
    Cool video, cheers!

      @rachelhurry3449 2 роки тому +1

      Good point! However I would still have had to create the leg of the R from scratch, and I wanted to show as much customisation as possible for people to see what’s doable :) swapping out letters won’t always be possible 😁

    “could I have found the font that has exactly these sorts of serifs?”.. as a beginner you haven’t really explained the point of customising a font if i can find a similar one online.. what difference does it make in the end (from the perspective of a client)? It just takes me more time to create something that I can find online. Is this a hack for designers are able to “charge more”.. no hate fr fr just asking!!
