    Excellent explanation! Going only through the things you are here to explain, is key for the viewers to stay focused on the matter. Every tutorial should be like yours. I hate it when people start arranging things that have zero to do with the tutorial making it too long for what it should be. Thanks for sharing.

    This is a really nice tutorial. I would like make a small clarification (I'm writer and corrector). For the tip of the "Break up blocks of text", there is a meaning difference between "space paragraph" and ""first line indent". When, as a writer, I want to make that we call an "active space" (like a black out or fade out in a movie film) I will do a "space paragraph". If is only a "scene change" is a new paragraph with indent. This is useful because writers can we usually both (for a book, for e.g.) and you have to know and respect the use in every ocassion.

    • @YesImaDesigner
      @YesImaDesigner  2 роки тому

      That is a great point! Just to confirm, would you use first line indent for a "space paragraph" or space before the paragraph or a combination of the two?

    • @LeanBardelliOK
      @LeanBardelliOK 2 роки тому

      @@YesImaDesigner Thanks! Glad to help. I'm talking about only literature or academic presentation. I suppose in graphic design is different. In spanish (Idk for english academy but I assume is identical because APA) we always use the first line bleed, usually a -TAB- of distance, the distance that you use in the video is beautiful. In other hand, we don't use the space paragraph (the space between both paragraphs) as you said. Only we use both at the same time in those ocassions when we want to make a "pause" without breaking the chapter, for example if you are writing suspense, and you have to make a pause without changing the subject, or there is a "time jump", like days or hours in the story. In a complete story or chapter, maybe you can find one, or two, but not every paragraph. Some editors likes to uses a line or separator, but for me using this is so much distinctive and intrusive to the text, that can break the flow of the narration and that's not the idea. Unless you want to do an "internal chapter" inside a short story, but in other case you use a another chapter. As you can see, the difference is very (subtle?, sorry for my english) but can mean a lot in the quality of the text. In any case is a thing of taste, I just use 1mm of "space paragraph" after see this video, and I share your opinion about both, just for style, is overkill.

    As always great tutorial Martin! Shift + CMND + K for big caps doesn't work for me though, it takes me to the color settings. Suppose I can change that in the keybinds, but thanks a lot for sharing this, it was the perfect timing!

    So here is an unrelated question, but I didn't know where to send this. I am sure many 'newbies' will face this.
    Do you only use you pen/tablet in AI/PS. Or do you also using for interacting with your O/S.
    Say you want to make a folder or move some files while in the middle of editing in AI/PS.
    Do you switch to the mouse or can you do it all with the pen. I am just wonder to totally dump the mouse and de-clutter.

    • @YesImaDesigner

      Grids are incredibly useful, but I would consider them more part of layout and composition. Or do you mean Baseline Grid?

    • @sergiogiovanni4440
      @sergiogiovanni4440 2 роки тому

      @@YesImaDesignerYes, grids are part of layout, but we can't speak about typography without showing those grids, they're essential. I saw in some of your videos (with light bulb variations) using a columns, there was no rows, so that vertical rhythm was missing. Also, I think the font size was too small, comparing with the heading, and it looks quite odd.
