I’ve never subscribed to a design channel so quickly. A lot of design UA-camrs give off a very condescending/arrogant vibe when explaining technicalities and their design choices, often sprinkled with a bit of a superiority complex… but Abi… you’re so approachable, lovely and a pleasure to watch. Love your work! Looking forward to binging this channel’s content 🦄
Your videos are therapy for me. I really feel motivated to create something after watching you. I am following your guidelines since two months definitely can see changes in the designs. Once again thankyou so much Abi!! ✨
Hi, I don't speak English, I see your videos with Italian subtitles and I had never followed a youtuber who doesn't speak Italian, you are the first time because I love your videos and I can't find anything like you. I would like only two things, that you were my colleague and that you spoke Italian! sincere congratulations.
Sou brasileiro, e mesmo sem entender bem o seu conteúdo eu assisto todos os seus videos, sou simplesmente apaixonado pelo seu workflow e pela forma que você apresenta seu conteúdo, estou migrando de profissão, eu era arquiteto, e te uso como inspiração diária para continuar no caminho do design! Muito obrigado pelo conteúdo! english (google translate) I'm Brazilian, and even though I don't really understand your content I watch all your videos, I'm simply in love with your workflow and the way you present your content, I'm changing professions, I was an architect, and I use you as inspiration daily to continue no design path! Thank you very much for the content!
You deserve wayyyyy more subs Abi! I’m a graphic designer based in Australia and I love all your videos! I’m starting to learn the pencil tool, YOUR FAVOURITE! ❤❤ you’ve inspired me to continue on my journey and I really appreciate all you do for the Graphic Design UA-cam community. Love you! ❤
Your channel and teaching methods are amazing! I learn a lot from you way more than I've learned at university. And you're helping me to be a better instructor myself, teaching my students branding better ❤❤
I mistakenly came across this video during a search and I can say it’s more than perfect. It’s fantastic. Can you create a kind of Course, maybe udemy or any of the educational platform you like, giving a detailed lesson of some logo design you’ve done from start to presentation. THANKS FOR THIS ❤
Abi, to say your channel is amazing is an understatement.😍 You teach so well and it has inspired me to also learn the design part of web development. I'm only 17years old and I see myself going far ahead with the knowledge you teach.😍😍 I'm from Botswana 🇧🇼, a country in Southern Africa. And the way you edit your videos keep me engaged and are a reflection of your beautiful personality. Amazing animations that are so much fun! Keep winning! ❤❤❤
I have been following your journey since 2021. I am now 23 years old, and I honestly feel like I have grown up with you 🤍 Thank you so much for being one of my biggest role models. I hope I get to meet you in person some day and give you a big, warm thank you hug. I am so happy that a precious soul like you exists 🩵
Aww it’s so great having you on this journey with me!! Really appreciate you being here and always supporting! Thank you for your kind words, they make my day! X
Ive been doing a project in AI for school with about 2 weeks of experience in the APP and its incredible to see how fast you can work. This would have taken me weeks!
Thank you! Bear in mind though I've been doing this for YEARS. It's taken me a long time to refine my craft and speed up in the process. You'll get quicker with time :)
Hey Abi! Love all your videos. You're my new mentor, wow!! Umm...Where do I find the board that you've been using to a manage goals, creative directions, pros & cons about the client company, and more??
😂 Before me and Jack (my partner) start the process of any video we always write down one comment we want to receive and for this video is was something along the lines of that! 😂 chuck in a random meme to have people thinking twice about what they just heard 😂
Hey Abi, your videos are super helpful, i'm pretty new to visual identity design, so it's a big struggle when you try to make a visual identity without a lot of knowledge, but could you make a video where you cover the full design process (including discovery) with a few tips and tricks?
Thank you for making my tuesday complete! You've done so good editing and filming, I'm loving how much effort you've put in creating this content for us. Thank you so much! And branding/designing for a service company is exactly what I was looking for from so long😍✨If you don't mind, can you tell one thing that the project board and the final brand presentation is also important in passion projects? 👀
Aww, I really appreciate the feedback! Really loved the edit on this video!! I think treating passion projects the same as you would for clients is important, so if you create presentations for clients use the exact same process as you would for passion projects!
Hi there! I am a graphic designer and I have found your videos very helpful. I was wondering if you could share how you deal with clients who don’t like what you present or who request changes to the design? What’s that process of revision like? Thanks for sharing!
Hey I was wondering if you could make a design with this character please make it so the arms are crossed and you don’t need to do the exact eyebrows just try to make the eyebrows have an happy expression and if you could add some color when your finished that would be nice thank you (please do it with the arms crossed)
My name is Jeff 🤓 😅 Love the icon for the brand! You did a really good job in capturing the technological aspect to the brand. Hope the brand loves the logo mark cause you killed it 🎉❤
Hi Abi, great video!! can you please make tutorial how you do your grids for a brand design? and how your Client Presentation is built up or rather which steps you follow... maybe you already have a tutorial on your page, i just couldnt found it yet, then sorry in advance, if yes :D
Thanks Abi, your channel is amazing 🤩:) I would like to know if you could share how do you create your brand videos that you present after you designed a logo ? Thanks :)😄
Omg your illustrations are fab I loved the style, I love you just go for it and the style is so fun, over the years I felt resentment to ward design annoyingly pushing away from it on a job wise but would live to get back into it as a hobby for fun again, as the fun element went a while ago along with imposter syndrome
Thank you 😊 This is actually just a concept brand, so no it doesn't. Would be cool if I made a fake website for it though! Just so people can see the design elements in action... maybe next video!
Hey Abi, I like your work and your videos. I've noticed that your style is rather playful and illustrative which is a good thing if you design logos for specific industries like restaurants, flower shops, etc. in that context, but I don't think this style works well for more serious and corporate brands as you always tend to use soft colors, swirls, waves, etc. and that might have a negative impact over the company as it might be outshined by the competition which will look safer. Don't get me wrong, I follow you since last year and watch every video, but I just wanted to share my kind opinion. Cheers!
I appreciate your opinion Martin! I certainly do have a style, but I've always found niching down has helped me attract more clients because businesses come to me when they want that style. You're right I don't really work with corporate company's, but I wouldn't want to as that kind of style isn't what I enjoy designing. Instead I find myself working with a lot of e-commerce businesses (currently working with a businesses that sells high end clay accessories) :)
@@abiconnick That's exactly what I wanted to say. Thank you for the kind response :) Something off topic, what is the typeface you use for your personal brand? Looks great.
This is amazing! Just last week my class project was to design a brand for a cloud computing company called dinocloud! That was crazy haha. I've always liked designing for a product based company, so that was new. Thanks for this video Abi ❤❤❤
Hi Abi. I need to copy a logo and make it on illistrator but having a hart time doing it. Then i need to create 3 files -- .eps, .png, and .jpg. Can you help me do this? Happy to pay up. SInce we already have the logo, all that needs to be done is literally copying it from a snip and making it in illustrator. If I knew what I was doing, I don't think it would take that long!
Hi Abi, I'm a huge fan a nd i really admire the playful tweaks and colors you use. However i had this question on mind since a while so i thought I'll shoot.. What if the client doesnt like the curves and colors you choose, wants a logo thats sharp and not so personalised or creative but classy and to the point.. how do you deal with such clients ? Shall i suppose you don't go for those projects bcos you like adding personality to brands ?
I love how dramatic your video with some sound effects haha, but still packed with lots of things that most of the designer needed! I have so much fun watch your channel. Subscribed!
Thank you, appreciate it 😊 A few people have mentioned the lack of contrast, I think it's a good point, if I was to go back and do this project again I'd adjust the colour palette.
Thank you 😊 So I use 2, one for project/client management (Here's a video on it ua-cam.com/video/9Rt6EuGNZbg/v-deo.html) and the other is Milanote, just to dump ideas into. Both are free to use!
Hi abi , i love your channel and your content, thank you so much for sharing all these details , would you please tell me what extension you use to drag and drop images from pinterest to illustrator ? Thanks
Thank you, really appreciate it 😊 I actually don't use an extension, for some reason I can just drag and drop, not sure if it's because I'm using a mac or what (sorry I couldn't be of more help)
Hi abi! Love the video. Can I ask what tool your using for your cards of the brief/project. I don’t recognise the interface! I’m looking for a new tool as my current project manager just isn’t working for me.
Thank you! So for project management I use notion. have a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/9Rt6EuGNZbg/v-deo.html and for dumping ideas out I use Milanote 😊
I have been watching your videos, You are doing better and better. That's great. I learned graphics design. But don't know why i can't generate my own ideas, like which typography should i use, what colours should i use in my project.After that, it seems like, i am copying someone's ideas and at the end of the day. I have lost my consistency and left it behind. Any suggestions for me?
Amazing process and video! I really admire you. I'm starting now the career of graphic designer, in Italy! How is it called the portal that you use for "about the client, the brand, competitors, audience, the color palette"? Thank you for your video 🥰
Hello! I just discovered you and adore your videos. May I ask you what program you use to build your project board in? With the "About the client", "The brand", and "The competitors" cards? Thank you!!
Thank you 😊 for this project I used Milanote just to dump all my ideas, it's actually just a template available on their called 'creative direction' or 'mood board'
With 2023 in mind, do you ask for % downpayment before the design starts, or what did you mean when you mentioned that you send the draft to client and wait for $$ to hit your bank account?
I love your work most of the time but this one misses the mark for me, the ball of yarn concept is a bit silly and the end icon doesn't look like a ball of yarn. I think the connecting 'R and E' make the logo look off-balanced and the 'S' doesn't work with the rest of the typeface. I like the icons but don't think they sync with the logo. I think the pastel colour palette is too wishy washy and soft for this kind of company. The whole thing lacks cohesion. I think your strength is in your playful branding for products. Just my two cents as a professional designer who has worked in a lot of agencies in London.
I want to pay for abiconnick and learn more. By the way, I am Korean. Is there a subtitle function and automatic translation function like UA-cam? If there is a translation function in Korean, I would like to pay for the lecture. Please give me a lot of answers! Thank you.
Loved your video as always abi love the way you explained everything thank you! did you get the feedback from the client yet? I was waiting for your little video outro ahah so i guess maybe it's not final yet but loved the yarn /infinity ideas! once again great job Abi !!
Thank you so much! This was actually a passion project and me designing it just for fun so I could test myself when designing a service-based business (something I don't usually do)!! Really appreciate the feedback!
@@abiconnick oh well it was a really good idea ahah!! it's true that I get a lot of product type of mission too, and once I had a service to do I went to your channel to see that you had just one for services as well ahaha. I had a client that was for an association he wanted to create, if that could give you ideas for the next passion project to challenge you :D have a nice day!
Hey Abi, great video as always. I was wondering if you have already heard about the affinity suite (much cheaper than adobe and with cero subscriptions), it would be cool if you could try it and make a review to help students like me that cannot afford to pay the adobe suite even with the student discount. Keep the good work :)
Thank you 😊 Yes I'm familiar with Affinity and their products, the only reason I'd still recommend the Adobe suite is because it's industry standard, meaning if you are looking to get a job at an agency they normally require you to use adobe products 😊(is annoying how expensive it can get though)

Hey 👋 In this video I used Milanote, just to dump so ideas down :)
What is the mood board/brainstorming app that is being used?
Awesome work Abi, you make the illustrations with your mouse? 👀

Cracking logo, love the custom icons but not 100% on the colours. Definitely unique & helps it stand out but feel it needs a punchy contrast?

Thank you 😊 I have a whole video on the client portal here: ua-cam.com/video/9Rt6EuGNZbg/v-deo.html
what software do you use for doing a project board??
Hello! I just discovered you and adore your videos. May I ask you what program you use to build your project board in? With the "About the client", "The brand", and "The competitors" cards? Thank you!!
Also- would you be willing to post your project boards in full?
Thank you 😊 for this project I used Milanote just to dump all my ideas, it's actually just a template available on their called 'creative direction' or 'mood board'
Great video but could you help us in creating project boards. Like the full process behind creating the project board.
Video sooon 👀
What softwares do you use for your designs please??
Adobe illustrator 90% of the time, then 5% photoshop for mock ups and 5% InDesign for branding presentations
With 2023 in mind, do you ask for % downpayment before the design starts, or what did you mean when you mentioned that you send the draft to client and wait for $$ to hit your bank account?
Yes, I get 50% upfront and 50 % after project completion, have a video on my client process here: ua-cam.com/video/OzbuxPKetIc/v-deo.html 😊
Im considering to follow graphics for school but idk
I love your work most of the time but this one misses the mark for me, the ball of yarn concept is a bit silly and the end icon doesn't look like a ball of yarn. I think the connecting 'R and E' make the logo look off-balanced and the 'S' doesn't work with the rest of the typeface. I like the icons but don't think they sync with the logo. I think the pastel colour palette is too wishy washy and soft for this kind of company. The whole thing lacks cohesion. I think your strength is in your playful branding for products. Just my two cents as a professional designer who has worked in a lot of agencies in London.
I appreciate your feedback!
@@abiconnick Glad you don't take it the wrong way - I'm a huge fan of your work & love your channel!!
Who are you tho😂
Thanks Abi For The Inspiration! You Rock, As Always. For The Graphics, Are They Drawn By Mouse? Or By Graphic Tablet?
No problem 😊 Always by mouse (I'm not very good a drawing 😅)
@@abiconnick Lol! You definetly are good, trust yourself. Thanks for replying to my question
I want to pay for abiconnick and learn more. By the way, I am Korean. Is there a subtitle function and automatic translation function like UA-cam? If there is a translation function in Korean, I would like to pay for the lecture. Please give me a lot of answers! Thank you.
Have a big course coming out soon 👀 I will look into adding subtitles to the videos 😊
@@abiconnick Thank you. I want to see the lecture because I have a subtitle function as soon as possible. I look forward to your update.
Loved your video as always abi love the way you explained everything thank you! did you get the feedback from the client yet? I was waiting for your little video outro ahah so i guess maybe it's not final yet but loved the yarn /infinity ideas! once again great job Abi !!
Thank you so much! This was actually a passion project and me designing it just for fun so I could test myself when designing a service-based business (something I don't usually do)!! Really appreciate the feedback!
@@abiconnick oh well it was a really good idea ahah!! it's true that I get a lot of product type of mission too, and once I had a service to do I went to your channel to see that you had just one for services as well ahaha. I had a client that was for an association he wanted to create, if that could give you ideas for the next passion project to challenge you :D have a nice day!
when your course will come ? and plz try to upload more videos 😅
I'm working on the course 24/7, that's why the video frequency has dropped, hoping to get it out by June/July 😊
@@abiconnick great then 👏🏼💕
What software is she using in the beginning for her prep?
Milanote 😊
Hello Abi.. Can you redesign the logo of a cadbury product NUTTIES.
love u so much
Hey Abi, great video as always. I was wondering if you have already heard about the affinity suite (much cheaper than adobe and with cero subscriptions), it would be cool if you could try it and make a review to help students like me that cannot afford to pay the adobe suite even with the student discount. Keep the good work :)
Thank you 😊 Yes I'm familiar with Affinity and their products, the only reason I'd still recommend the Adobe suite is because it's industry standard, meaning if you are looking to get a job at an agency they normally require you to use adobe products 😊(is annoying how expensive it can get though)
What do you use to make your moodboards?
I get the majority of my inspiration from Pinterest and then build the moodboards in Adobe Illustrator :)
@@abiconnick Thank you so much!
