Omg it would be such a good idea for you to do a series where you redid each assignment that was in your portfolio and see how you would approach them now
Aurelia Moore yes this would be incredible!
!!!!!!!!!
i feel like this is what pam beesly would be like if she had stayed in art school lol
holy shit why does that actually make sense
yes.
Aww soft edge art school Pam. Yass
YOU'RE SO AMAZIIING FOR COMMENTING THIS, you'd still be awesome if you didn't. This is jskahwikak
yeah this is so spot on but so sad that pam's career took a big L in that small town. Keep doing art folks dont kill ur dreams!
Dang I feel like there should be portfolios and portfolio classes for other majors too
darcipeeps ikr? it’s super helpful and preps you for reality
@@KelLauren u should redesign the Target logo.
What am I going to put in my physics portfolio? The most beautiful differential equation I ever solved?
We have it for music,
most arts do! when i applied to creative writing programs i had to assemble one :)
This is great inspiration for anyone looking to get into graphic design! You should do a video where you revisit some of the work from this portfolio and show how your style has progressed over the years.
Yes! That'd be so cool
“This is Karl, the designer who can’t get his life together”
_Karl is a lanky ginger dude with glasses and a fringe. I am Karl, Karl is me, and I am stressing over deadlines, projects I haven’t done, and things in general at half past midnight._
“And Harry!”
_I am Harry. Is this existentialism? I don’t know and I’m scared._
I took a 4 year art program and majored in illustration- I just landed my first entry level designer job (over a year after graduating) and i am PUMPED I feel like since I focussed mainly on illustration I still have a lot to learn about design and improving my work as a designer and I cant stop binging your videos while chillin and sketchbooking. You are great I love you
i dont even wanna be a graphic designer these are just interesting
I started teaching myself how to do graphic design when I was 15, I still do graphic design as one of my main sources of income and have kind of lost interest in designing for myself and as a hobby. After watching this video I feel inspired again, thanks, Kel! Love your channel.
Oh no! So sad you lost that spark but happy that this video inspired you! I hope that you can enjoy that passion again - some other design RUclipsrs I watch for inspiration are Abi Design, Will Patterson, MADE Channel, The Futur, Flux, and more!
holy cow it was super cool to see how much your style has changed compared to your work now! love ur content dude
I'm putting together my portfolio for my resume and its killing me. I judge my stuff so harshly and it's hard what to pic to put in it. I just hope my portfolio and resume is good enough to get me hired as a video editor at Tesla, wish me luck 🤞
LilBytes good luck 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
dont sweat it! just go with what you feel represents you best
LilBytes update us!
Good luck!
Good luck! I'd suggest having not high or low hopes for getting the job though, it might crowd your judgement
You'll do amazing!
i’m an interior design student and honestly watching any of your videos helps my digital work improve now that I’ve seen your advice and knowledge !!! a legend
I just love the aesthetic of you and your videos. I look forward to seeing my growth as I am starting school for Graphic Design in January
this was helpful and calming to watch. Im graduating with an interior design degree in May and finishing up my portfolio and getting ready to start applying for jobs. its nice seeing someone else who knows what they are doing
I found your channel yesterday and now I'm binge watching you. I am thinking about going into graphic design and this is so inspiring. Keep up the good work!
I recently started a new job as a graphic designer at a print shop. I wanted to thank you, I found your channel through your soda logo redesign video. Watching your creative process has reignited my love and passion for graphic design! I’ve been really out of practice until I started this new job. Thanks for sharing you passion and creativity!
Portfolio videos like yours really save people who need portfolios, like me, but don't go to a portfolio school or have a portfolio class (that I know of) to take. so, THANK YOU
I’d love to see a video redesigning the work in your portfolio
each one of these designs are so wildly different but they are all amazing.
Have you ever talked about your portfolio you used to get into college? the process and tips to help people transferring from high school to college. Thanks Kel for all the awesome and helpful videos!
you should do a video series redesigning your work in the portfolio!! it would be so cool to see a then vs now comparison and see how your skill and style has changed over the years
Your portfolio are actually so good! I graduated Fine Arts major in Advertising earlier this year, and I hope to continue to improve with my designs. What I think with my designs are actually kinda basic and so-so. Everytime I look at my portolio, I always feel like I could do better.
I just started my design classes this semester and your vids are really inspiring and motivating! :)
Check zimri mayfield for some logo help and do the 30 logo design challenge for your portfolio! Good luck
I would watch the hell out of “Karl the graphic designer who can’t get his life together”
I hope there would be a movie about it ❤️
the album art is so pretty omg
I just finished self studying all the basics of design such as color, layout, and typography. I also have lots of knowledge of the software applications used to design, but I don’t really know what to do next. I didn’t go to an art school and no one is guiding me through stuff. Until I saw this video. Gives me a bunch of ideas so I can work my way out and start making my own portfolio. Thank you very muchhh ate Lauren!
Seeing this is the first time I really feel like the schooling I had did anything with design? The name of the program I graduated was Illustration And Design, and a good chunk of our projects were designing posters, we did a vinyl album, a board game, a magazine cover and spread, I think a beer label? And other stuff. And all those things at the time I saw as “illustrations, with consideration of the location of text” but huh. I guess that really was graphic design. It’s really amazing what a shift in perspective can do for your understanding of past experiences, which is v bewildering. So here’s a very deeply confused, but just as appreciative, thank you.
PS love the logo redesign vids.
I love how passionate you are about what you do
this is so cool. you made and continue to make amazing art!!! I also love your thoughts on art. minimal and inexpressive pieces can still be powerful! why don't you have a bigger audience?! AMAZING
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love the idea of creating concept work for a whole lineup (like your Passionpit merch & the Northern Market). It's fun seeing the branding shared on different pieces.
I randomly found your channel and I’m so happy I did! Been lacking in creativity and ideas but your vids (and Pinterest boards) are giving me some much needed inspo ☺️
Love your videos they’re so inspiring to me as a designer!
i just watched all of your videos in the past 24 hours ilysm
the 1975! that magazine spread is gorgeous, even if it is different from your current style, which i also adore. (and you had wonderful taste in music). also for borns, same.
i love ur passion put redesign!! its so good.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while but never subscribed until you said mgmt is one of your favorite artist. They are my favorite.
This was fun to see, I'm glad you made this video!
Also I always love the little artsy clips you put in at the end like with the flowers and the clouds, I think it would be awesome if you made a whole video with that kind of material :)
The Passion Pit album is really representative of the music. Loved it.
FIDM sounds like the noise Yoshi makes.
oh my god youre onto something here
Oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my ob my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my
I hope you’re rolling in the dough from how much I’m watching all of your videos🙏🏼
I’m building my first portfolio right now and this made me a tiny bit less terrified, so thank you lol
Oh goodness! I’m still in the process of putting together my portfolio for college 😅 thank you for showing your portfolio!
I was just personally attacked with my current love for Avenir
Gillian Stephenson omg me
Avenir > everything else
avenir is my everything
Dude, I haven't even listened to Passion Pit, and I'd buy that vinyl record just for how pretty it looks. Dang.
Just wanted to let you know, this type of video is really useful! Thank you x
For your next video, how about redoing your old work? That’d be cool 😎
The passion pit album art redesign is sooo cute. I love. I also really love the computer stickers you made for your Karl merchandising. When you go for job interviews now (like in theory), do you bring a physical portfolio or do you just have everything digitally?
Kel ❤️ keep up the great work.
Im in my first year of visual design, this video was very inspiring:)
3 uploads in a couple of days?! Lol Kel i feel blessed.
naser dakhel I KNOW
YESS
i want the mgmt merch, they’re literally amazing..
This made me go back and look at my first portfolio. Wow.. How did I think that was good stuff. But it's nice to know i've improved. I'd love to see you redo some of your old projects :)
it really puts things into perspective!
YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS. Just had to put it out there.
when she got makeup on her face and her hand: SWATCH
you're blessing us with the frequent uploads
You're crazy talented! The Karl project was so good and inspiring
Thanks for sharing your old folio with us Kel. Cheers.
I'm currently working on a portfolio and I'm so nervous about it. I'm creating pieces and gathering previous pieces and trying to see what is good and what isn't. This vid makes me a lil less nervous because when it comes down to it, we all grow and change as life goes on. I've got time and I will get better as I do more. Thank you for this video ✨
Nik Elberling best of luck ✨❤️
@@KelLauren thank you 💗✨
“But, you know what, art.”
If I ever make one of those digi-packs things then that would be my quote. Lol love ya
that passion pit album re design is stunning oh my god
Relatability factor is through the roof in this video.
the borns thing was so sad, I did work about him too, I had forgotten how much he meant to me... what a waste
What happened? O:
Was any of it confirmed though..? Ehhhh idk..
Loving these videos! Will definitely head to your patreon for a portfolio review
"Thanks for Kellyanne Conway, I've completely dropped my last name. So thank you, Kellyanne, for ruining my life."
lmfao SUBBED
This is cool! I surprisingly like the weird collages at the end the best thought though. Guess it’s just more my style. The passion pit project was neat too.
i'd love to see a video of you redesigning your business cards if you ever get around to that!
I could just listen to her talk about any subject for hours
I'd love to see a video of that collage type style recreated now!
You should recreate some of your old stuff in your portfolio!!
i like how you edit your videos, keep going!!
Okay.. guys I’m in love 🖤
'Im assuming your wanting to go into graphic design which is why your watching'
Me who has no creative intentions whatsoever but is just here to look as aesthetically pleasing things: Yes
PLEASE FILM YOUR PROCESS OF REDOING YOUR BUSINESS CARDS 🥺💙
what you said about "if you feel nothing from the art, that's part of the art. if you feel infuriated by it, that's part of the art." is what i tell people all the time when they wanna bitch to me about modern art.
I’d love to see a video about how you take flat lays of packaging you have designed and make them into a rendered product
Please make a video on redesigning your business cards!! 💕✨
We had portfolio class in school, while it was very helpful it most of us ended up getting extremely pressured because we were asked to include a specific number of works (which most of us didn't have since we were dealing with our thesis at the time). In the end we had mediocre works since at that point we were just trying to pass the subject. Your portfolio looks really great and I wished I had taken my portfolio class on a separate semester (maybe on it's own) that I would've made better content. Props!
I am working towards becoming an architect and I am currently employed as a designer/intern at an architecture firm. Graphic design / architectural rendering is my favorite part of the job. I have considered doing some Graphic Design commissions for extra income. Love your videos so much! Your music taste and aesthetic is impeccable as well. Keep making these excellent videos and hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
You could also make a video about reworking some of your old portfolio work
Thsnks 4 showing your work .
Designers be like “I’m a designer”
Ridge Murdock they do be like that
"understanding... george. geORGE. hold on."
thanks for the frequent uploads!!
you could make a video about how to actually put together a portfolio i know its for school to teach but im only in high school and i really like your style i'd love to listen to your advice❤️😄
I love the kerning joke in Karl's logo!
i'm currently in a media course in college (UK so it's before University) and i'm really thinking about what i want to focus on - your channel is genuinely clearing my mind because i think graphic design and merch design is so so interesting and would be an almost perfect mix for a creative outlet. i'm wondering on how to focus more on it, how to really practice and find things to create so i can gain more understanding on it. i have a class for graphic design which i am working on, but it doesn't feel like enough of a project for me to really get into it.
We share the same music taste lol. Anyway, you inspired me to look into graphic design schools. I've been into art and designing since i was five, but i kept pursing other things, but now I think this is something that may be a good fit for me. Thanks!
Love it ! ♡
maybe do a "redesigning stuff from my old portfolio“ video!
Those Passion Pit posters though.👌👌
Feel like you got inspired from Flume
You can tell she was living in the “hippie is cool again” era when making this, that’s eventually became what is is now... so much better than before
Avenir is my favorite bro. I need to stop using it so much. I’m literally using it on my type project rn
i can't believe i just discovered your channel and you're obsessed too with the 1975 lmao life is incredible AAA
I llloove the album design!
thank you!
That stuff is super enviable
i love the font mexcellent!!! i used it when I designed my friend's band logo :) also, I have synesthesia too!!!!
I agree with the parents. The Karl project is very strong!
Hey loved this video, just have a quick question: where’d you get that hoodie!?
seeing all those black boards and thinking of all the glueing, money and crying I've poured into my projects so far, and how many more I still have to do for the next year and a half...
Everytime I watch your channel I want to become a graphic designer even more
"not good" wtf is she talking about?? She's so talented 💖💖
ahh.. spilling coffee in a food and drink free design lab.. I never did that, but got chastised by one of my teachers for a bottle of coke on my table. Not an open bottle mind you, but a rule is a rule mister! "And you with the packet of sunflower seeds! Take those outside!!!" Your portfolio brings me back to my portfolio! We had to design a poster for the local chrysanthemum clubs big "Mums 2000" flower show. How many ways can you style a mum for the millennium?? lol.. The head of the club decided my mum was too stylized and didn't look "inviting" enough. "That would not be an award winning species in my book.. we want to encourage only the best flowers!" I also did a brochure for the national parks. I chose the Grand Canyon as I had visited there as a teen. I could not decide pictures to use as they were all breathtaking and my brochure could not be fifty pages long. Plus we had to add in all the Nation Parks' sponsor logos and I could not place them without ruining the beauty of one of the shots, ya know? ugh.. I did learn the simple color matching trick. Why go through swatches of colors to find a complimentary one when you can just use the color picker eye drop tool in Photoshop and use a tone that is already in the picture? Instant match and tied the whole thing together. It's funny how design changes. All the little style rules I followed for myself get broken all the time these days, but yet it works!
I'd love to see a video about how to create your portfolio. My graphic design school doesn't teach us and we have to just kinda figure it out ourselves. I'd love to see what your school taught you and what do you still use to create your portfolio now.
Also, I'm struggling with knowing what to put in it, if i post only what I like to do or if I post all of my school projects
