Elliott, your work is such a great example of how powerful design can be without needing to be overly polished. I love how you mix humor with simple, bold designs-it's like you bring your personality straight into your work. Seeing you stay so true to your style has inspired me to be more real and embrace my own quirks in what I create. Thanks for showing that design can be fun and meaningful at the same time!
This video truly inspired me to create simply for the joy of it, without any pressure. It’s a helpful tip for overcoming creative blocks. What usually inspires me, though, are Patterns. They have always been a huge source of inspiration for me. I remember sitting on the bathroom floor as a kid, staring at the tiny specks in the tile. If I looked long enough, those little dots would start to shift and form new shapes, almost like they were alive. That’s how I’d come up with new ideas to draw. These days, I don’t draw as much, but I’m still creating in different ways-and I’m still mesmerized by patterns everywhere I go.
What inspires me in graphic design? Well, honestly, it’s a mix of caffeine-fueled chaos and the power of undo/redo. The thrill of taking a blank canvas and turning it into something that makes people say, “Wow, that’s.. okay!” keeps me going. Also, I can’t walk down the street without shaming every bad ad design I see. Billboards, posters, flyers-nothing is safe from my relentless inner critique. My friends are kinda tired of this☠. Plus, knowing that Comic Sans exists ensures I’ll always have a purpose: to make better font choices..
i'm going into a chem/science-based profession once i graduate and this channel always reminds me of when i was once a fellow creative child growing up, i think you really bring out an imaginative side to everyone who watches you :]
The thing that inspires me most as a photographer is capturing where I'm from, Darwin/ Garramilla. I plan to apply for RMIT to study arts next year and my folio will surround the beauty of Darwin suburbia. When I first moved here at thirteen, I was suffocated by the monotony and daggyness of the Top End, craving an escape to the big city. To survive, I discovered my creativity. I repositioned long days at a sweat-reeking middle school as fodder for my artistic pursuits; recreating expressions I noticed on the bus, meandering conversations I overheard, and spectacular wildlife I saw, in drawings, scripts, and designs. Eventually, I saw the beauty of living in a town defined by 80s architecture, horrendous screen-printed fishing shirts, and smothering humidity. My creativity came from finding beauty in spaces that go unnoticed in the search for more exciting things, so pretty pls give me the laptop elliot!
I mean, this guy right here, defeated imposter syndrome + procrastination + creative block & idk what else *right in front of my eyes.* I'm speechless tbh. More like inspired too.
Contest already over? anywhoo love the video feeling inspired to do for sure. I have wanted to try multiple design styles to dig into graphic design history but this feels a bit more approachable
Elliot!!! I haven't seen you on my feed since literally September of last year (if youtube history is anything to go by lol), so seeing you pop up again is genuinely so refreshing!! It's been so long since I saw one of your vids that I literally graduated college and have been in an extended creative slump, but seeing you do your thing's got me a little more inspired again :) and also, you killed it with these posters dude! This video legit had me grinning at several points. Great work as always!
Inspiring work Elliot. I have been digging through yours & kels catalogs of videos after discovering the podcast, and I feel like I've reignited my passion for design work for the first time in the last few years of my 7 year career. I feel like I'm finally making breakthrough's again. This came at an amazing time to see something new from you after that. Keep on designing
100 posters is crazy, if anything you inspire me Elliot. Other designers that have such solid identities are so great to look at for people still figuring out there's (aka me lol) 😅. Great job!
Maybe you should have drawn a sketch on top of all 100 posters and then doing each one, stick to the lines that you set with this sketch and then you would have ended up with a full-fledged poster of 100 others, anyway cool artwork
OMG WOAH IS THAT MY IDEA IN THE VIDEO WHAT A SLAY, my idea submission was not my monkeys, not my circus. Love your videos ur actually my fav graphic designer.
Big BLESSUPS in the hope that these fleeting moments of joy, when Elliot uploads, don't come so far apart. The video was pretty decent too. GDIME forever.
Elliot I love you this vid rules. I'm working on a vid right now that all started because I bought a big new monitor and moved my 2 old tiny monitors behind it on my desk. The way they were tilted up almost staring at it inspired me to make a video about one of my old monitors getting jealous and angry with me that I'm willing to throw away our love just like that.
I find my fiance super inspiring, she always helps push me creatively and if I'm picked for the give away I'd gift her the Lenovo so she can pursue her dream of being a children's book illustrator (her current laptop keeps crashing on her 😂)
I’m not even kidding, last night I was thinking about you and remembering how you haven’t posted in a good bit. Next thing I know, this exists. THIS IS MEANT TO BE LOLL
Yo Elliot if your reading this that means I'm inspired and 12:39 to be honest that hasn't happened in a while so thank you for being you Becuse that's something we've almost forgoten in todys society
Elliot I am going to print this video and put it in my ceiling so I see it every time I go to bed
everyone take note… THIS IS SUPPORT!!
Fun fact: you’re in a Gawx UA-cam comment thread.
@@jmg9509 Oh my goodness I'm in a Gawx UA-cam comment thread, I should print this.
@@skadoomosadi1411 well, if all artists are thieves, then I'll steal that idea from you.
*Graphic design* IS *my Elliot*
GDIME FOREVER
This is so epic please sell these as unique prints
hehehehe PLANNING ON IT
@@welliot LETSSS GOOO
@@welliot YAHOO
goated video. gave it my undivided attention and didn't regret a second of it.
WE ARE SOOOOOO BACK
For now, then we gonna have to wait more 8 months for a new video 😅
Stripping myself naked and watching this on all fours to feel like a hippo in the desert meeting the first rain in years
I HAVE NOBODY TO SPEAK TO ABOUT THIS
I feel the exact same way. 😔. I have to start indoctrinating people somehow
I’m right here Indigo !!
i love the “not my circus not my
monkeys” design the most personally

You can't spell "graphic design" without "elliot is a cool guy", welcome back dude
This man singlehandedly made me not drop out of college
legacy… legacy…
@@welliot btw I did a presentation about your social media lmao
Wow Elliot finally posting after 8 months! I wonder what finally motivated-
“This new laptop from Lenovo has a GREAT keyboard!”
guys we've been fed, time to be motivated to design
The fact that it is so casual makes the designs so much better!
Man that bass at 2:38 went hard

I mean, this guy right here, defeated imposter syndrome + procrastination + creative block & idk what else *right in front of my eyes.*
I'm speechless tbh. More like inspired too.
Kudos to elliot for using up so much ink 🙏😭
I absolutely love the blender elliot skit
he's finally back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(i love the yellow third-world tint that you added in the color grading)
how did i never know this beautiful man existed these videos are incredible
"I know I get divided attention" right after I unpaused the video - never felt more called out in my life
Yayaya I made it !!! And it’s true, I do tell people I’m in marketing because it sounds more stable 😻

This was a great video. (I have not watched it yet) 🧟♂️
This is fantastic Elliot. Beautifully crafted and hilarious mate. And the final poster is sick
7:31 I feel personally called out as I was, in fact, designing something myself while watching this video.
I think about you so oftend ur graphic design videos n style is just top notch. i love it.
absolutely adore your videos, so glad ur back😮💨🥳🥳
I am genuinely proud that you did all of these in illustrator no joke
i might sound like im glazing but im not i swear when it comes to graphic design you and your works heavily inspire me!
LETS GOOO ELLIOT, YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING
Bloody love Lenovo. Runs avid like a beast 8 hours a day 5 days a week. Such an appropriate sponsor!
Inspiring work Elliot.

god your humor each video is unmatched... i aspire to be as funny as elliot guy
4:54 clone high reference!!!
"CREATIVITY KNOWS NO BOUNDS...EXCEPT THE BORDER OF THIS PAGE" 🤣🤣🤣
when elliots return to youtube is a lenovo ad
Maybe you should have drawn a sketch on top of all 100 posters and then doing each one, stick to the lines that you set with this sketch and then you would have ended up with a full-fledged poster of 100 others, anyway cool artwork
hell yeah!! ! my graphic design phase is BACK and now there's no end in sight!!!! bless you elliot !!
I forgot how much I love Elliot's humor
Ahhh just finished my first watch through - time to go back and pause to get a better look at all 100 of these beauties 💯👌🏼
Gracias. Un video perfecto. Te admiramos desde Mexico. Thank you, Elliot.
OMG WOAH IS THAT MY IDEA IN THE VIDEO WHAT A SLAY, my idea submission was not my monkeys, not my circus. Love your videos ur actually my fav graphic designer.
elliot is like a graphic design deity to me - 100 posters is so crazy to me
genuinely i find your work inspiring, you make me want to pursue graphic design
great work elliot, adding your clone really gave it the je ne sais quoi it needed (I love clone elliot)
He's BACK
1:50 was peak humor
Final result is insane as always
That 3d model is realy chill
You have a beautiful soul and a powerful mind. Everything is inspiring
Bro just causally made a full portfolio worth of poster and make it into one big poster
Big BLESSUPS in the hope that these fleeting moments of joy, when Elliot uploads, don't come so far apart. The video was pretty decent too. GDIME forever.
Elliot I love you this vid rules. I'm working on a vid right now that all started because I bought a big new monitor and moved my 2 old tiny monitors behind it on my desk. The way they were tilted up almost staring at it inspired me to make a video about one of my old monitors getting jealous and angry with me that I'm willing to throw away our love just like that.
I think you just inspired me to make 100 posters in my style.
Who knew that an advert would go well with International Typeface styled posters for a challenge?
maybe elliot is the graphic design we were looking for along the way
I find my fiance super inspiring, she always helps push me creatively and if I'm picked for the give away I'd gift her the Lenovo so she can pursue her dream of being a children's book illustrator (her current laptop keeps crashing on her 😂)
7:29 thanks for reminding me to save my tf2 loss edit
I would like to buy prints of these posters, please and thank you. Especially the "please don't yell at our designers", definitely need that one. 😅
Eliot has like the greatest sense of humor ever of all time
I need that “not my monkeys not my circus” poster on my wall nowww!!!!!
OUR FAVORITE COOL GUY IS BACK
Amazing video, super inspiring !!!!! Simple but effective designs😁
