Web design has been something I've experimented since I was 13. I really love it. I'm currently in my third year studying Computer Science, and I would really love to go into front end development instead of back-end. However, because I'm studying Computer Science, I'm obviously only learning the coding side of things, not so much the "design". I really want to know more about the design side as well so I can understand the best of both worlds. Your videos are incredibly helpful to me! I draw a lot, and love that, I'm hoping that will help me a bit too. You're an inspiration to me Charli, I really admire you. :)
Chloe Rose that's awesome Chloe!! I'm trying to get my head around 'teaching' videos like this one so that I can start to make some about design principles and stuff because it sounds like it will really come in handy for you to learn design thinking alongside your development skills. drawing will definitely help a lot, cos you'll be instinctively thinking about composition which is a HUGE part of design :)
You're honestly a great teacher, that's why I enjoy your videos; you make things easy to understand. That's incredibly kind of you, yes they will come in SO handy! I enjoy every video you put out there :) Thanks for putting out consistently amazing content :D
Great tutorial! I appreciate the clear and concise explanations of the wireframing process, as well as the emphasis on the importance of creating a solid foundation for website design.
I usually don't leave comments, but I had to this one time. Your video was extremely helpful for my course project! It was straight to the point and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
So glad I stumbled on your videos! Just getting my head around wireframing and so far haven't found anyone else who doesn't go straight into techy talk I don't understand!
I'm training to become a web design/developer after teaching design for the past 6 years. The "crazy 8" technique is something I used to use with my students to encourage them to explore design concepts and generate a range of ideas. Great stuff.
Here 4 years late lol but great video! I am an SEO Specialist that started a Web Design and Development firm and our designer didn't like being committed to a company so I watched this to understand what goes into a wireframe of a website! Thank you!
Very useful. Ive been procrastinating building me a website for a while now, not the least bc I couldnt find anyone to explain important steps in a digestible, quick manner. Love your vids, thank you
Paige Boyd that's awesome! If there is ever anything you'd like to hear a video on let me know. I'm sure if you're wondering about it others will be too :)
If you're ever in the states. I owe you lunch ;) I"m a Sr. Industrial Designer but am just starting in UXUI and was so nervous about making this transition. You've helped to take away the mystery and concerns that I've had about UXUI. Thanks Charli, You're my Shero!!!
Hi Charli - I really liked the way your helped us think in the designer way. For a long time, I was struggling to find the right design for my product, I am lucky to find your video. I especially like the idea of having 8 or more designs to a single page. Loved it Thank you so much.
Really good information with lots of helpful tips, all in a concise order. No fluff and I learned a lot. Really upbeat and a superb example of what a tutorial video should be.
Thanks for this!! Trying to complete an assignment for OU module and needed ideas on Wireframes and what to include for 'rough sketch'. This really helped. Very clear and concise!!
I always find it interesting to see how people come up with ideas, I really like the idea of almost "emptying your brain" of all possible ideas in order to find the perfect one :)
Smay Prangley yeah! You feel silly at first when you come up with something that is obviously not going to work... but it isn't obvious until you put it on paper so it's good to get it out of your head so you can move on from it!
Really great process. We're redesigning a page, so I am going to audit the content and then work from that list. The Crazy 8s idea on tabloid paper is fantastic for brainstorming! The bigger the paper, the more space your brain feels it has to get those ideas out!
Very, really, very much grateful to you for this video, it helped me a lot and allowed me to organize information in my head, as well as see how others do the same.
This is really helpful for me rn. I have to design a website for school and my teacher didn’t explain anything so here I am watching tutorials on UA-cam.🙃
I lovvvvvve your design vids! Once I am done with my advertising degree, I will go for graphic design, and your vids help me understand and know more things about it. Thanks!
sheldon johnson that's awesome! Your advertising degree will give you a head start in learning graphic design I'm sure, because you'll already have that solid base of creative thinking :)
Loved this. I've been really caught up on the idea that I need to find the right wireframing software to use and have kind of let that blind me to the fact that the process is much slower if you don't start by hand (which also would discourage me from exploring alternatives - an area I have problems with already). I've got a small series of notes from this that I think will help me out a lot.
nevarware that's SO good to hear! Honestly, comments like this are why I make videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I'm so glad you found this video useful :)
Fascinating! Very similar to the process I use in print design. It is helpful to realize the similarities as I'm considering changing sector. Your tutorial style is great!
piney silver yes you're right!! there are definite similarities :) I too switched from print to web design (and still do a bit of print). it was a fun change to make! Wishing you all the best if you do decide to make the change :)
Thank you I learnt something new today. I'm a newbie to web dev and this really helps me figure out the designs... btw you look super cute when talking about stuff lol
i'm glad you found the video useful, but it's really degrading to say I "look cute when talking about stuff". My value as an educator is not at all connected to my appearance and when you comment like this, it tells me that that is what you value.
@@charlimarieTV Your video was indeed helpful and when I said "whatever I said" that was a form of complement to you as a person, you are content creator and being one of your viewers and followers I personally think there's nothing wrong with it and if that bothers you imma just take that back and no I value your content more than your appearance so that's not what I'm after nor looking for. Anyways its entirely upto you how you percieve it, just smile and get on with your day. Anyways cheers. Stay healthy and safe. Adios!
Obsessed with your videos :) Binge-watching :p Just love the way you speak and explain bcoz I m a bad listener but I can listen to you whole day, does not irritate me.
A brilliant K iwi designer I love your stuff. you really inspired me to design in a more real way. Id love to do you tube videos too but I just dont have the face for it. Keeping Kiwi's on the map. priceless
Thanks so much!! And don't be so hard on yourself, if you think you have some stuff to share that people would benefit from you should totally make videos!
hey Charli, so happy to have found your channel. learning a lot. A video on process of a webpage design would be great... illustrating how you start and end your webdesign would be great... or do you have a any references. I'm a graphic designer who mainly works in print, but am now crossing over to web.
It's an definitely important step of design! There are a few times for assignments I tried to jump right into indesign and it always seemed to take ten times longer to come up with something that way.
Hi! I'm from Brazil and just arrived on your channel following tips from Roberto Blake on his channel and I'm appreciating your knowledge! Nowadays I'm preparing myself to move to New Zealand with a objective to work on design too and I must to say thank you so much to being and share all these tips! = )
Simplistic but at the same time great wireframing approach. Is it good advice if one knows at three 3 different types of proryping tools and if so, which would you nominate?

I love this! I am definitely guilty of skipping straight to the design stage way too often, haha.
Karen Kavett Don't worry I think we all are!!
Great tutorial! I appreciate the clear and concise explanations of the wireframing process, as well as the emphasis on the importance of creating a solid foundation for website design.

To draw as many wireframes as you can first seems like a very effective way to get inspiration. Thanks a lot!
+LuukS iewers super effective! give it a try :)
I'm training to become a web design/developer after teaching design for the past 6 years. The "crazy 8" technique is something I used to use with my students to encourage them to explore design concepts and generate a range of ideas. Great stuff.

+CharliMarieTV for sure! I think this just made my week
If you're ever in the states. I owe you lunch ;)

Good tip on wireframing; I'm just getting into for prototyping - like the sharpie and paper approach.
sometimes simple is best right! :)
