No matter how long you've been in design or any media arts, it's ALWAYS a good idea to learn and be inspired from others... it's amazing to see what people create! :)
ABSOLUTELY! I am studying hands and feel and perspective with an artist even though I have been drawing for years. We can ALWAYS learn from others - younger or older - and when we think we can't, then our growth has ended!
Hello, My name is Luuk. I am a young classical composer who wants to share his music to the world. It would be amazing if you would go to my channel and listen to one of my compositions. My best so far is called: New life. Please subscribe. It really much to my I will doing a giveaway at 50 subs.
This is by far the most helpful graphic-design related video ever. I learned more during these 14 minutes than during 3 years of design school. Thank you so so much, Matt. 👌
Love digging through "older" videos. Thanks for leaving these videos up. Very informative and helpful. I like that Matthew provided multiple examples to really enforce the concept across topics.
Oh mannn, I was so down with myself about composition in my photographs. It's dull, boring, and more importantly, I don't know why. It feels like when I put the camera to my eye, I am stuck to the rules and I don't know how to break it. The wolve and the elk explanation, I was like Whoa!! this is good stuff. Please do more of this.
4:10 not only is it in 'danger', it's pushed into a tiny corner which creates an intimidating feeling and makes this character appear vulnerable! Great
Love this channel man... I have practically learned so much and have had so many questions answered that have been unanswered for so long. Trust me when I say almost every one else out there trying to make videos are just blabbering and basically saying the same thing everyone else is saying and before you know it, you have wasted so much time waiting to hear something you don't already know. Thanks alot and hope to see more "get to the point" and practical videos.
These type of videos really helped me a lot in terms of designing and its aspects than other resources. This channel is amazing for startup artists like me, thank you for bringing us great content, I highly recommend this
I asked some time ago and you guys delivered! Thank y'all for cooking up some Motion theory and visual treatment! Can't wait to see more Motion Design Theory!
Thank you for taking the time to explain, how contrast is a gamechanger in a design through a simple way. Matthew, if you can do the same video with how to construct better layouts in design, that would be something of high value 🙌💯
love it! pure practical application of theory coming from designers grinding in the top end industry. a new dimension of design knowledge. not the same old same old software tutorial, which is also important; but point is there is not enough of these
I agree, there really isn't enough theory of design out there (atleast good stuff like this). It's amazing how something so simple can drastically alter your work for the better. I really do hope you guys make more of these - i was blown away by some of the type layouts your other designer showed in one of the last vids and secretly wished i knew how to make something like that lol. It was also pretty cool seeing how this was applied with the xbox ads.
Matt is a great in making stories and telling them. I have impressed by his work in a video about pitching design (a couple of slides in Russian about an event -2013) This channel really help me to think about design. Thank you very much for these amazing videos
This content is pure gold. I'd love Matthew to give us some tips on how to direct motion graphics sequences. I'll be more specific: After I'm happy with a shot I've composed, I struggle a bit with figuring out if the next shot should be a close-up, general or mid shot; if it should include some sort of camera movement and such... In my head, I'm thinking of Cinema 4D projects, but this applies to any kind of audiovisual piece, really.
Such a wonderful and one of the most educative piece I've seen. Absolutely loved watching this and all the futur videos. Loved Matthew's cold play experience!!
That was amazing. Just simplifying it to simple b/w flat shapes to illustrate how to inner mechanisms works for these concepts. A brilliant strategy, thank you!
Fantastic examples, thanks for sharing, I have to say that the intro was cool. I like the way the out takes were used to lead into the lesson. Nice work. I am looking forward to useing contrast in a more extreme way.
really helped me with my dynamic composition task in my graphics class , thankyou . As a mature student I find all the technology etc a bit overwhelming so anything that keeps it brief and accessible is great
great tips! Matthew is a great teacher.. Made it super simple. I like watching these topics in general to refresh or catch quick little tips. It's nice to see how designers think and approach a problem. I would love to see how Matthew tackles color in his frames. Thanks
Thank you for the video! Definitely would like to see more of this. Theres a few thing you pointed out which will help me with my next illustration project. Thanks again!
+The Skool Network Ok great! I've dabbled with AE using Element 3D plugin and have gotten some great results and really enjoyed it. My goal is to dig into it some more very soon!
I usually prefer video, but I found both to be very effective. The print version was well organized and contained a ton of info and graphics that helped illustrate the point visually, and the video was well organized, paced and communicated clearly as well. For the subject of teaching a design theory, I found that the print version with graphics and images more effective of getting the point across. For tutorials such as "how to 3D track a camera" or "how to manipulate the curve editor in AE", I definitely prefer video!
Great episode. I would like to learn how you organize a motion design project in After Effects. How you break them down into shots and also manage assets. Also talk about your favorite tools for 3D, cell animation etc.
You're welcome! Thanks to you! For now there isn't a specific topic I'm looking for (the videos cover so much already) but one topic I consistently face is what makes "good" or professional graphic design? Good vs poor design? As an intermediate-level designer, I'm still faced with those questions sometimes!
No matter how long you've been in design or any media arts, it's ALWAYS a good idea to learn and be inspired from others... it's amazing to see what people create! :)
thanks Jeremy. you are right.
ABSOLUTELY! I am studying hands and feel and perspective with an artist even though I have been drawing for years. We can ALWAYS learn from others - younger or older - and when we think we can't, then our growth has ended!
Wise words...
Wise words...
More of this guy.
Yes. Matt is great.
More and more
More like, more of everything really. this channel's great.

This is by far the most helpful graphic-design related video ever.

Thank you so so much, Matt. 👌
Wow! That's a big compliment. Thank you!! 🙏🏼
I love how Matthew explained things. It was very comprehensive and relaxing to listen to him.
Love digging through "older" videos. Thanks for leaving these videos up. Very informative and helpful. I like that Matthew provided multiple examples to really enforce the concept across topics.
You explain very well and make it so simple. Thank you so much!
@@MatthewEncina plz explain if you can, the question is how we create dynamic composition in film....???
Every video you guys make is full of valuable content, it doesn't matter if it was made in 2016 or 2020, it's just amazing. Thank you!
we try to make evergreen content.

Thanks Avinash! Appreciate the validation. There seems to be lots of UA-camrs out there, but only a handful of professionals that are on UA-cam.
Fantastic! Been in this business 30 years and still learning new ways to look and think about things.
These type of videos really helped me a lot in terms of designing and its aspects than other resources. This channel is amazing for startup artists like me, thank you for bringing us great content, I highly recommend this
Thank you. I'm sure Matt appreciates your comment.
The first example with the wolf and the elk is effing brilliant in so many ways
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen! Great for noobies like me!!
About to start my Degree in Design and your videos have made me so much more prepared and confident. Keep it up!
enjoy the journey.
I asked some time ago and you guys delivered! Thank y'all for cooking up some Motion theory and visual treatment! Can't wait to see more Motion Design Theory!
Matts working on a hands on tutorial right now. Should be a good one.
This feels like it could branch off into a separate series. Nice job.
Better believe it. This tree has many branches and we are just getting started Ramp.
bring this guy into the frame more here a good teacher
You got it.
Great short vid - a ‘bite-size’ reminder of the basics. Good stuff that will be useful to a lot of people.
Thank you for taking the time to explain, how contrast is a gamechanger in a design through a simple way. Matthew, if you can do the same video with how to construct better layouts in design, that would be something of high value 🙌💯
This is basic, but at the same time, gold.

Thanks Omar. Teaching others online is the future of education.

Thanks Joseph. We have some amazing designers working here.

You’re very welcome.
Prefect for our A Level Graphics guys! Another winner.

Please keep doing this, you give me leason that i would never have in my school.
That was amazing. Just simplifying it to simple b/w flat shapes to illustrate how to inner mechanisms works for these concepts. A brilliant strategy, thank you!
Liked. Subscribed. Giff me more of this guy. He knows some voodoo stuff that I need.
Matt's got more content coming. Hang in there. It takes him more time to write and prepare his videos.
Personally - color, shading, shadows and pro use of negative space.
Would be nice if you took a bland comp and using your principles you create many samples to show a dynamic comp.
I would love to see those! Thank you for sharing!
Creating portfolio layouts... grids, compositions
BEST thing I've seen all week! thanks :)
awesome Kristina. glad you liked it.
I love the recap in the end! It helped me to remember it. :)
Great video Mathew, love how you've taken it right back to basics! Definitely would be great to see more.
Very nice, I Really liked the concept of this video, the way Matthew explained it made sense!
he's a great teacher.
The Futur Yes, I agree! :)
Fantastic examples, thanks for sharing, I have to say that the intro was cool. I like the way the out takes were used to lead into the lesson. Nice work.
I am looking forward to useing contrast in a more extreme way.
Just discovered your channel and now I need to watch every video.
Chump91 pace yourself. We have over 150 videos.
this is brilliant! thank you very much - valuable information on composition is rare
So valuable! Thanks Matthew for sharing this with the community. Really helpful. Take care.
really helped me with my dynamic composition task in my graphics class , thankyou . As a mature student I find all the technology etc a bit overwhelming so anything that keeps it brief and accessible is great
Great tips! You guys have been knocking these vids out the park
The next one from Matthew is really good.
Thank you so much for the video, clear explanation, easy understand, under 15 mins video i can learn a lot and consolidate my design skills.
I liked the first two examples Very much!
Super cool tip and example. Just a little things really made the huge difference. What a great great great content. Thanks!!!
big things have humble beginnings.
The Futur I could not agree more "big things have humble beginnings" 🤘🏻
Great tips, thanks Mathew for sharing. I always learn something new or better from your videos, great stuff.
This was super helpful, I'd love to see more videos like this, thanks, Matt!!

Matthew is great. More coming from him soon.
wow...great concepts to understand Visual aspects and Storytelling
Very nicely done. Easy to understand and you made me think of type in a way that I hadn't thought of in a long time. It is just a shape.
Matt did a great job talking about type.
Amazing! 👏🏽 👏🏽
Super good!

Mayyhew is so shy here! Now lookng at the videos of 2020, he has improved his communication skills so much! Bravo Mayyhew !
Fantastic video!!
Loved it!!
I read your great article a few weeks back, thanks for making a video version!
Which do you prefer? Print or video as a learning platform?
I usually prefer video, but I found both to be very effective. The print version was well organized and contained a ton of info and graphics that helped illustrate the point visually, and the video was well organized, paced and communicated clearly as well. For the subject of teaching a design theory, I found that the print version with graphics and images more effective of getting the point across. For tutorials such as "how to 3D track a camera" or "how to manipulate the curve editor in AE", I definitely prefer video!
+UniqLeeDesigned thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for taking the trouble to make all this info available for us!
Very Useful! Thanks!
Love it! Great tips!
I NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!!!!
Happy Bday Chris! Aloha.
germ Aloha. Thanks.
Great episode. I would like to learn how you organize a motion design project in After Effects. How you break them down into shots and also manage assets. Also talk about your favorite tools for 3D, cell animation etc.
Good one. Adding to request list.
awesome video, super helpful. I design a lot of flyers and this comes in super handy.
Dear Mama and Pour out a Little Liquor in the background is dope AF
Super helpful! Continue the great work!
Best explanation ever
Great tips, great job.
This was a great breakdown. Applied these principles to a logo design I'm working on and it worked.
Nice!!! Glad to hear.
Great instructional video.
Great useful video.
Great video! Very good examples
Thank you soo much! Great video! Explained very well, simply and easy to understand! This is how everyone should teach! 😊
More motion! Loved this. It reinvigorated my drive to create great type
We got another motion based episode coming out this weds. Be on the look out for it.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks
awesome tutorial!
Excellent tutorial and advice!
yes. we agree. Matt's great. Look out for the Pitch Kit coming soon.
You're welcome! Thanks to you! For now there isn't a specific topic I'm looking for (the videos cover so much already) but one topic I consistently face is what makes "good" or professional graphic design? Good vs poor design? As an intermediate-level designer, I'm still faced with those questions sometimes!
Great content. Thankyou!
Thank you so much for making this video which explains the concepts so well and easy. Really glad that i came across this in 2020.
