This video made me realise that i want to be a graphic designer. All these tips are exactly the way i automatically think when im creating a presentation
its the best job in the world, go get it.
I already have a graduate degree in nutrition yet creating flyers, educational handouts, and presentations for clients and students made me realize I really enjoy these aspects of graphic design. Perhaps in my next life I'll be a graphic designer.
@@karenmai1384 You already are.
@@karenmai1384 I graduated in Microbiology and I'm willing to pursue Graphic Design bcs life's too short also Covid just ruined all the plans but oh well
I'm 15 and it's been my dream job since 7th grade... I'm still reluctant because my parents aren't really supportive about it :(
I agree with Emily so much
take homework down!
Elyssae HW is so anti childhood.
Hahaha this made me laugh
Emily knows her stuff.
Hopefully my client doesn't see this or I'll be out of a job.
This is the best graphics design beginners video.
What other people
are blabbering about
for hours on youtube,
you have made it precise,
easy and understandable in
just over 5 mins.
Thank You!
(See how I use Alignment, proximity, and white space in that one comment? lol)
You are so right!
Yes your right
yup!
Absolutely Right !!
Uh yeah... motion graphics have a tendency to do that.
I have a degree in graphic design and used this series as a little refresher to keep me sharp. This series is very well done. It never hurts to keep the basics in mind.
Cool, thanks!
Every element of these videos are so well done! As a designer, this makes me want to share this with the people I work closely with that don't have the designer role, so they can get a better understanding of the work I do, the attention to detail I give, and why it all matters. Great work, and thank you!
Chris Hanline Any tips you could give me as a new graphic designer?
Thank you so much for this! This really helps me a lot! I may be no graphic designer but I am a high school student sick of passing sucky brochures, posters, and presentations that give me failing marks. Thank you for making the complex graphic design stuff all across the internet easier to understand for people like me 😊

This presentation is so cute I can't even...
As someone who works as a web designer full time for several years now I didn't really expect much watching this. But it is actually well explained, short and I think fantastic for beginners.
I personally ever saw a perfect & the most easiest presentation on Design!
As a Designer, this video always makes me feel Happy & provides me a Happy Sleep!
Thankyou so much guys from The Bottom of My Heart!☺️😊👍👌
I love all your "Beginning Graphic Design" videos. It's easier to understand the basic elements of design. The colors used in the video are not overwhelming. I love the narration, it perfectly fits what is shown in the video. I can tell how much work the people behind this did. Kudos to all of you.
Thank you! Cheers!
It takes a lot of time to finish this kind of video. I salute all motion graphic designers and editors out there.
Having jumped into "Layout and Design" for a school class, it's nice to know that I got most things right!
My use of hierarchy could use some more improvement, but thanks to your team I now know!
Thanks for these wonderfully informative, and concise videos!
note for self:
Five basic principles for layout and composition:
1. Proximity: grouping related items together to make it easier to understand at a glance
2. White Space: negative space; help define and separate different section
3. Alignment: if things are aligned, it makes the composition easier to navigate
4. Contrast: to catch the reader's eye, create emphasis. use color, size, shape, visual weight, or styles of text
5. Hierarchy: make important items more eye-catching
6. Repetition: things should have a consistent look and feel
0:40 i was so uncomfortable with the position of "alignment" haha clever!!
Beginning Graphic Design series are the best thing i've ever seen. I keep turning back to these vids when i need help for my art work assignment! easy, clear and short, and fun to watch!
Glad you like them!
studying for creative digital media exam and your video makes it so much easier to understand than the lectures from collage. Thanks a lot for the video!!
I cannot express how much I enjoyed this series. Thank you so much
Her voice is soooooo calming
Wanted to thank you for your awesome "beginner" videos. As someone who's looking to pursue a major in graphic design, I found this extremely helpful and easy to watch. Keep up the awesome work!
Your videos are a gift to mankind! Thank you so much for your work!
I'm rooting for you, Emily.
This explanation is simpler and explains a lot in Graphic Design.
Easily tackled than when I was in School and a must when you have work.
Wow, just wow. Enjoyed the entire series.
Where has this video been all my life.
Drop-in from gamedev industry, thank you so much for these... I guess it takes a TON of time, experience and knowledge to put such a rich in detail and knowledge video and animations together. Thanks a million!!!
Can we appreciate how clean the art style is! and how high quality all of it is!! :)
Wow, thank you!
Every time I watch a good video/animation made in After Effects, I think, "Man! I need to learn After Effects!" Then I remember what a challenge that is and that I don't have the time currently. Very nice set of videos made in AE you guys have done. "One Long Strand of Pasta, $32"
Thanks for these videos. I want to be a graphic designer when I grow up, and these help me to get a kick start. I have seen other videos trying to explain the same stuff, but they didn't get the point across as well as you do. Keep up the amazing work.
I like the style of this channel. Simple, modern and using the correct or perfect colour palette for the channel. This helped to make my profile picture. The pictures isn't that vibrant or that saturated. Thank You! 🙂
I love these videos! I've been doing social media posts for my freelance business and my church and these have been helping me a lot. Things I've been doing that I didn't have terms for / didn't know how to explain to others that are doing social media posts for the church are getting explained! These videos are super informative and I even have fun watching them! I love catching little things, like the "One Long Strand of Pasta" bit. LOL. Thank you for these!
short but very informative and precise. i just started watching your videos and i find it very useful, even though it's the simplest things i know of, I hope you do more of these with a variety of topics and it would be really helpful if you could do tutorials on tools / apps / frameworks / trends for beginner's to use in reponsive web design.
One of the best tutorials I have watched. Very well articulated and it was a visual delight ! Thank you
Colors, Fonts, Music, Simple Content & Simple Animation = Great video!
I've worked and studied in design for over 10 years. This very well said and one!
No words can express how grateful i am..
Informative , straight forward , and clear as the sun.
ThankYou , Shukran , Salamat , Arigato. :)
Mail Jadid Blagodarya, Danke, Merci, *however I'm supposed to spell Thank you in Korean, lol
i dont get tired of watching this video. So simple and intriguing
Attention all Graphic Design fans: We've rolled out another video. This time: Images! goo.gl/WkZadv
A short video with good animation and well synced voice over. The principles are enough explained.
This is an equivalent of manna to every self-teaching artists out there. Thank you so much for these videos...they were more than helpful.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for giving some actual, concrete principles to follow. I've tried to find lots of videos and texts on the subject of good graphic design that I could apply to video game user interface design, but nearly all of theme never get to the conrete material and instead keep repeating the same cliches of good interface being "intuitive" and "unobtrusive" with no clear illustration or examples of how to actually achieve this.
One of the best presentation, video, audio, and contents explanation. Just amazing.
I really really appreciate this. I go to a school for graphic designing and things related to that and this really summerized what I learned
This has to be the most satisfying video series I've ever watched in my life. It's just ... so ... good.
The graphics and animations are just amazing. Top class.
