    I just started watching this guy's videos (not flux, but this particular speaker) and he explains things in a way which finally demystifies alot of it for me. After way too many videos explaining the basics, things really "click" when he explains them.

    Not just colour, but I'd LOVE to see an in-depth video on: fonts, spacing, website/app structure, images, graphics, button styles etc.
    I feel I can design alright, but getting that theme together for me is by far the hardest part - how to transform the ideals, mission, services, target audience, constrains of a project or company into visual language. Once you get that - damn, it's just pure flow, because essentially you're reusing the same fonts, elements, structure rules across the board. Kinda like a Fibonacci sequence, where many of the basic parts add up together to create the whole visual experience.
    So yeah, please do consider a long video on that as well!

    Nice to hear explicit mention of color tone. Very helpful. The video also shows the importance of a good key light on the subject. What a contrast when it goes off. The image with the key lighting was fantastic, super professional.

    I agree with the other comments that this is very detailed and explained well. The good and bad examples really do help.
    I do have a question. If your client already has colors and they just want their site updated but wants to keep their colors and they don't quite work that well together. How do you go about that?
    I understand you can give suggestions and explain why they don't work together but they're adamant about keeping those colors.

    • @jfosterdesigns
      @jfosterdesigns Рік тому +1

      One thing I have started doing is asking questions. Like asking them why they chose that color palette and how they want it to affect their audience. What do you want your audience to think, feel, and do? Many business owners choose colors because they like them, not because they will actually affect their customers. I try to help them understand that a business is for your customer, not for yourself.

    I can't say that I agree on the colors. The "over 40" colorations for the clothing line is drab, decaying. The HIP green is too neon, nauseating. When you're color sensitive, colors are experienced in the body. My tummy is flip flopping. Also, the link for the color book drops a non-working link in my email. Tried opening the link in another tab, it just flashes and nothing. Tried open in new window. I got a window, blank. Inspected, it's an empty page. Just the start of the head html.

    • @shyamp992
      @shyamp992 8 місяців тому

      The black and green is perfect for young gen clothing, can’t say the same of other combination, needs more tweaking. Color sensitivity is a exception and not a rule, so i guess that’s not who all brands are aiming to satisfy.
