when creating grids, did you need margin to breath within each box or not? because i see you didn't add margin

[@lucianmodiga815]

What about Illustrator. How can I apply guides there since I didn’t see any place to do this like in Photoshop or InDesign. I might be wrong though. Thank you in advance

[@kencreation1284]

24:21 what is this, a poster? Or something!. This design Focusing that black sketch what mean it ?. I thinking this is a black marker pen ad poster, please explain about this design to understand. Thanks

[@aramgrigorian3387]

how can I see more illustrations from myrna larsen

[@ioliveira]

at 9:20 - "the smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field meaning that the background will be blurrier" That's incorrect. small (actually narrow) aperture = more stuff in focus // wide aperture = less stuff in focus.
Also in the begining "65% of humans are visual learners" is mentioned, no serious scientific research states that. Only click-bait articles.

[@MatthewHinmanTexas]

All the timestamps in the description are incorrect!!!
