Man ! You're a design school. well presented valuable informations. Golden rules of layout design: 1. Negative space. 2. Proximity. 3. Repetition. 4. Contrast. 5. Alignment. 6. Focal points. Smile ☺, be happy and spreed the love.
Dude this is so great! I am a self-taught designer and I've been using these rules for a long while but without noticing. It is so nice to be able to list and label these rules in my mind and sort of create a checklist to never break a rule.
I see many comments complain about clients which are against that "rules". I am no designer for myself, so I can make a statement in point of view of a client: "The best explanation are *examples* of very big companies"
first example: the logo looks kinda lost up there. you could do that with, i dont know, a whole word with nice letters, but not with this kinda logo with this kinda layout design. the big S looks better to me, since it fits the blue design more. just make it a little smaller and put it between the white stripes, a bit to the right or so. or if you keep the small logo version: the big blue part takes too much space on the page. make it at least 1/2 of the page´s space. NOW it says "hey look up here. heres much to see". but then theres only this small logo. if you make the actual WHITE space bigger, the attention goes to the important text part even more since its easier to see whats important here (the small logo, the big blue part or the text) and i would consider to make the text go 3/4 and not 1/2 of the page then. my opinion.
My fellow designers, when a client tells you to fill that sweet empty space with something, it is your job aswel to tell them that they don't want their brand to look amateur. Clients are not designers and when you explain shit to them most time they agree and end up having an even better opinion about you. Stay firm, you are the professionals not them, clients say the most absurd stuff... teach them a bit.
I use the "in my opinion thats gonna make you look amateur, but you're the one calling the shots ..." all the time, wich is something they don't want (to look like amateurs). But don't just say that and not give an alternative, you gotta give solutions. I'm not a "sales persons" and I used to struggle with dealing with clients. I used to think like "Well if the client is paying then he is the one deciding", but I learned that is not true! I will never make a piece of design which I don't like and if you're paying me you gotta trust me, period. Ofcourse we have to accept suggestions (and not all are bad) and you have to be able to explain if and idea works or if it needs modifications. (I'm not trying to sound smart or anything, just a simple dude giving his personal opinion and I hope it helps some people, many thanks for the likes fellow designers, God bless you)
@@SB-gy2vx Be less artist mentality...more graphic mechanic mentality. Your job is to fix a problem. Not whine and complain about white space. I've been in the biz for over a decade. The ONE thing that clients hate most is designers whining about clients "not understanding." And I've seen some of the work by supposed "artists". Its terrible. If you're good at your job...it'll show.
Yeah, you're a designer. The same as a doctor giving patient solution (although they might get emotionally deny it), it is the best for them. And you as a designer, know how to treat your clients.
I feel like this is probably due to the fact that 90% of clients out there are not using proper monitor resolutions, have bad eye sight, or just can't be bothered to think about how design affects a user's behavior. I don't like either of the 2 options in #1, the first one is TOO big, and the second one is just a tad too small imo. You could show the same design concept with a bit less exaggeration imo.
Many times my clients want the logo bigger because of they are emotionally attached to the logo (like having spent big bucks on it) or the lack of contrast with other elements rather than just to make it bigger. Making it bigger is a solution the client proposed. You decide how to approach the root issue. The same goes for giant texts. Normally it means the client loves a higher contrast design. You then decide whether it suits their brand. Like in this video, the white space example can be easily rejected by normies. I would compromise to increase the title font to be 2/3 of the page width while maintaining the width of the body paragraph.
@@ryanekapanjisuhartanto7167 A doctor can give all the advice they want but in the end its up to the patient, it's the same for clients. Ultimately it is their call and if the majority of clients like a thing, there's probably a reason for it.
I hear make it pop ... whatever that really means. Color psychology goes out the window and everything has to be bright and neony from one client .... Fill every empty space. I just stopped trying
Your videos are absolutely top rate. They've helped me greatly develop as a designer (even though I've been doing it professionally for 30 years). And you absolutely have the most soothing and pleasant narration voice any of us have every heard.
Honestly I really see the left design is better than the right one in the negative space rule. But even the left is wrong then the right design is much worse, the words are too small and seem like too much negative space to be a good layout, the types in the left just need a bit smaller. Maybe just a bad example right there.
RULE 01. Interesting, but when you work with a client, 80-90% will pick option A. They want logo BIG, the text BIG, all the text BIG if possible. And I worked with more than 500-600 clients (sometimes even with big clients). I saw the same idea of using negatice space at John Mc Wade
Agree man. Clients percieve negative space as an empty space that should be filled f.ex. bigger logo or graphic. " I'm not paying for white/ empty spaces. Put smth here" they say.
I've designed for more than a decade for layouting magazine. One golden rule that he missed out? Is margins like ROWS and COLUMNS. This is the very key of effective spacing and equal distribution of elements. This is basically the backbone or the skeleton of layout. If you can't master it - a layout will wobble. And also do layouts with Indesign please.
Oh god don't write future like that, It just confuses people. Please have the bloody text sit in a straight line at least. Even a diagonal line is fine... Just don't do to much to disrupt the flow of reading...
For the first rule, I just wanted to say as a visually impaired person the logo is just slightly too small. It's small things like this that stop things from being inclusive.
In ui design now there's some good tests that can be quick and easily done in Adobe xd you'll be happy to hear automatically show the best and minimum contrast et
Using slanted angles as a contrast to straight ones may be a very good way of separating something. However, you should be careful about putting photographs in a tilted angle. ESPECIALLY for something like an annual report. Tilted angles in photographs and video can convey a sense of instability and is very often used as an effect to show that a character may be feeling very scared, nervous or somehow imbalanced. It's called a Dutch Angle. Using a dutch angle photo on an annual report may subconsciously give off the impression that your economics aren't stable, and I would avoid putting horizontal lines on an angle in general unless you want to convey that something is off or wrong.
Even if, like here, the actual photo is right way up, it's just the frame that's tilted? (or it's a diamond frame!) I'm not a graphic designer, so genuinely curious
I think it is cheesy or gratuitious; a cheap thrill. "Let's rotate the frame! That would be kewl!" It seems not to add to the composition. Actually, too much pointless clip art is easily seen for what it is; "gotta fill up the page with SOMETHING! Clipart to the rescue!"
This is a good tutorial on graphic design, but you overlooked the #1 Golden Rule of video tutorials… DON’T use background music! It make it too hard to hear and becomes so annoying and distracting that the viewer (in this case, me) actually stops watching. This is the 2nd video today that I have left because I couldn’t hear well enough with the background music.
I am not a grafic designer. But I need a logo for my herbal eats & applications business. Can you please help me. I am from Sri Lanka. How can I do the deal about it. Thank you.
The saving negative space for breathing is just doesn't work if you doing commercial art. Most of the boss want the word to be super big so everyone can see it extremely clear without wearing glasses
Client: Make it bigger. I want brown and green. Make it pop. Text is still to small, I want to read from the other side of the street. Put more text... more iformation. Make the background red or blue exactly like the colour I have on my car. Edit. Everything you know or learned about design... will be erased by the client and you will make a huge crap because that's what the client like.
At the end of the day, it depends on the class and taste of the client. There are some who want graphic-heavy and busy designs and there are some who love modern, pleasant designs.
For content online ui and ux designers now use scalable designs that fit best to phone and desktop but it probably won't be common place for a few more years
I agree totally...and ask the opinion of several non-artists. Everyone chose the one on the left. And in the end you are trying to sell something. Minimizing your logo and text is counterintuitive.
Customers don't want to get it because they are thinking about the wasted space TIP: change the direction of the topic to their customers, tell them that their customers want simplicity and readability!!! 😄
But not too much wasted space either. As a user, I lost count of the amount of websites where I had to do lots of scrolling to get fragments of information in an ocean of wasted space. That's not a good user experience. There's such a thing as too crammed, but there's also such a thing as too empty. Avoid both. Conveying information is the primary goal of any webpage. So if it's not conveying information competently, then it doesn't matter how pretty it looks, it's still incompetently designed.
On your space is a secret video time stamp 4:48 you say negative space and white space aren't the same. On here you start off by saying negative space is often referred to as white space. When in the graphic design world did this concept change
RE: Rule 1, in my opinion the first design looks a lot cooler and more interesting, especially the top/logo part of it. The second looks a lot more boring and plain, and just, not good. Although perhaps the margins could be a bit larger around the main content, overall I actually like the first design better than the second one. I'm not quite sure what to take away from this because although the second is more "correct", to me it actually looks worse overall... I guess I will make sure not to fill things just for the sake of filling, but... probably not THAT much empty space as a solid colour; it's just too much flatness for me and does not have enough visual interest.
The first example with the giant S is way better than the second version. IT looks better, it's easier to read, and the attention is on the information (where it is supped to be) not centered around the blue and white which convey no meaning. The eye is drawn to the words, the headline calls for reading. In the second example full of white space the eye is drawn repeatedly away from the meaning of the words and towards the empty space.
The first part, I really I agree and think I actually think the first example with the large 'S' is more effective.....the other one has my eye wandering around wondering where I am supposed to focus....
The first rule of design is that there are no rules in design. Do what you feel works. Visual design is all opinion-based and subjective. Why did Andy Warhol become popular? It definitely wasn’t because he was a good designer.
:D ! yes! this is a basic, initial *seminar* to start the journey to Graphic Arts _leave in second the learning of software, learning the criteria will gives you one exptra point_ XD
Hi there! Is it possible to have some form of PDF of the images/text from this video, so I can print it and put it somewhere on a wall? 😀 thanks. I love your videos!
Hi Satori Graphics, I really love your contents although I just subscribed recently. I really aspire to become a graphic designer, however I do not have the skills to draw nor create logo that stands out. What should I do or where can I start?
I think there is a rule missed, and that is to know your target audience and where their eyes naturally fall on the page. From what I've been told; people's eyes fall on to the center, or top center of a page. Is that true for all people in the world? I don't know. I didn't agree with the first rule. It seemed the graphic was too large or too small. The problem was the back ground graphic and it needed to be cut in half at least, bringing the text up. You don't need that much empty space (even if it is covered by a image) in the middle of your document. I think empty space includes margins, as margins are needed for hole punches on the left, or foot notes on top and bottom.

“Can you make it bigger?” Lol
One of the age old requests lol
Obey...
These are just intuitive, don't you think?
Maybe for me and you. But not for everyone.
first example:
the logo looks kinda lost up there.
you could do that with, i dont know, a whole word with nice letters, but not with this kinda logo with this kinda layout design.
the big S looks better to me, since it fits the blue design more. just make it a little smaller and put it between the white stripes, a bit to the right or so.
or if you keep the small logo version:
the big blue part takes too much space on the page. make it at least 1/2 of the page´s space.
NOW it says "hey look up here. heres much to see". but then theres only this small logo.
if you make the actual WHITE space bigger, the attention goes to the important text part even more since its easier to see whats important here (the small logo, the big blue part or the text)
and i would consider to make the text go 3/4 and not 1/2 of the page then.
my opinion.

I guess I will make sure not to fill things just for the sake of filling, but... probably not THAT much empty space as a solid colour; it's just too much flatness for me and does not have enough visual interest.
The first example with the giant S is way better than the second version. IT looks better, it's easier to read, and the attention is on the information (where it is supped to be) not centered around the blue and white which convey no meaning. The eye is drawn to the words, the headline calls for reading. In the second example full of white space the eye is drawn repeatedly away from the meaning of the words and towards the empty space.
The first part, I really I agree and think I actually think the first example with the large 'S' is more effective.....the other one has my eye wandering around wondering where I am supposed to focus....
Graphic Designer - Negative Space
Client: If its space make my logo bigger and also add my new offers 😂
The first rule of design is that there are no rules in design. Do what you feel works. Visual design is all opinion-based and subjective. Why did Andy Warhol become popular? It definitely wasn’t because he was a good designer.
:D ! yes! this is a basic, initial *seminar* to start the journey to Graphic Arts
_leave in second the learning of software, learning the criteria will gives you one exptra point_ XD
Everything about the video is beauty until u put this knoledge in a project and the client says: BIGGER IS BETTER
The heading page word DESIGN does not meet colour contrast accessibility standards. It also fails all 8 colour blindness conditions!
Why half of the examples look ugly for me? I guess Sorting hat just sent me to Not Graphic designer faculty 😅
This video has been really helpful. Although. Not a graphic designer, I'm taking notes and applying them to the ppt I have due. Thanks ❤️
Very detailed and quite helpful.... Nice🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Hi there! Is it possible to have some form of PDF of the images/text from this video, so I can print it and put it somewhere on a wall? 😀 thanks. I love your videos!
Learn Important Rules For a Layout Design
Yes! They are crucial
only rule you MUST obey in every design field: Don't let anyone tell you, there are rules you MUST obey
He literally said at the end that rules can be broken. Also I don't like the term "rules" as much, I would consider them as general guidelines.
70/30 is Golden. non-symmetry. cluster details by biazing to one side. critical in SciFi hard asset work
Hi Satori Graphics, I really love your contents although I just subscribed recently. I really aspire to become a graphic designer, however I do not have the skills to draw nor create logo that stands out. What should I do or where can I start?
I think there is a rule missed, and that is to know your target audience and where their eyes naturally fall on the page. From what I've been told; people's eyes fall on to the center, or top center of a page. Is that true for all people in the world? I don't know. I didn't agree with the first rule. It seemed the graphic was too large or too small. The problem was the back ground graphic and it needed to be cut in half at least, bringing the text up. You don't need that much empty space (even if it is covered by a image) in the middle of your document. I think empty space includes margins, as margins are needed for hole punches on the left, or foot notes on top and bottom.
