      I hope you make a course. Most designers that teach aren’t half as good as you. I think you’d be doing everyone a disservice if you don’t make a course. Your material is really the best I’ve seen and most helpful. You teach not techniques but how to think with design.

    I was really hoping that you would have had the amateur, pro and master levels of the same design to show how they would have done it differently, instead of showing totally different designs that made it harder to compare. I also agree with the person who said about the different materials. For example, it would have been cool to see what the amateur and pro could have done with that "lens business card material". Good to see what you consider the different levels, but making the playing field equal would have been a better video for us to compare apples to apples.

      Completely agree. Far more beneficial to see the same design taken through the three tiers and what could be considered to take them from amateur, professional to master.

      I would also like to point out, having professional photography shot assets for the design. The "amateur" ones might be done by someone underpaid, have short deadline, have to utilise cheap assets etc. resulting in more basic/dated looking designs. I would suggest you compare how long it would take to make each design and how they would look if you remove pro photo shots.
      Amateur Designer =/= cheaped out materials/assets, sped up process
      Pro designer =/= whole PR, QnA team, UX analysis, photography and time to put in
      Poured money to have result doesn't simply define designers level.

    This is an apples to oranges comparison. All these industries have vastly different audiences, industries, and goals. It also uses examples more suited to each designer’s level. I want to see 3 designers do the same brief, same product.

    The "amateur" business card is the best in my opinion because you know what that thing is supposed to be because it follows certain conventions. Just like a movie poster follows conventions. I think most companies want exactly that and not some avantgarde stuff (which doesn't mean that there is no niche for that). I think this is the tricky thing when it comes to design. It's not easy to create something extraordinary that works within the given constraints. Similarly, a fancy user interface is useless if people don't know what to do with it. There are affordances - i.e., expectations - that an artifact or a stimulus must evoke to fulfill it's function effectively. If everyone would subvert expectations, we would not have any expectations at all and we would not even recognize a business card if we see one.

  • @RandyVie86
    @RandyVie86 6 месяцев назад +8

    I strongly disagree with calling the last business card a master-level design. It's fancy, for sure, and it will be fun for 5 minutes. It's a toy and not akin to what good graphic design should be, I think. It's bloated with graphics and icons that have nothing to do with the actual message. You get distracted by them and need extra time to find what you're actually looking for. Besides that, it completely ignores the costs of the thing. It looks and feels cheap but is probably very expensive to make. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome! But a MASTER-level design works on its own without being a gimmick. A master would just need a piece of paper and some good typography.
    I also disagree with some points about the logo levels. You are talking more about the presentation than the actual logos. The logos you picked were clearly not equal in business level. I think the pizza logo had a much better appeal and clear messaging than the second one, which I already forgot. But the pizza logo was for a small business, and the others were for big industry brands.
    However, my biggest pet peeve is probably the intro text and showing the process. Who are they for? The intro text is not for the client because they should know these things and probably don’t care, and potential portfolio visitors don’t care either. And the process-this is something I hate. I don't feel anybody cares how many rules of the golden ratio or special grids you used. Only the person making it cares, or maybe us, professional nutcases, want to see this. Clients really couldn’t care less, so why waste their time with this? Showing it deffenitly does not makes your design pro or master level.
    Nice video though!

    To me, aside the most important design principles, as an artist every mistake can be design as well. I think it is relative and as well depends on the theory we follow. However if it has to do with design principles such as consistency in colour, font, spacing, icon etc I do agree this must be done for a design to be really good. A good design should be simple and not made to be complex.

    IMO, the amateur designs all tried the safest ways to get their point across. They did look a little boring but got the job done. However, the pro designs I had the most issues with (the Nike one in particular). If I saw the Nike ad while scrolling, I'd just pass it without thinking twice. There wasn't anything to catch my eye there besides a hoodie. No catchphrase, no call to action, and the text was either too small or vertical. Also, the translucent business card with the super miniature contact info was a no for me. Being translucent was a perfect touch but it makes legibility more challenging and reinforces the need to make the fonts bigger and/or more legible. Personal opinion.

    The biggest difference between, what you call Amateur, Profi and Master, is mostly not because of the skills of the Designer: it´s the Budget of the client. There are several reasons, why many Clients simply don‘t pay enough, to get a Designer into the process of creating a high end master design 🤷‍♀️

    • @SatoriGraphics
      @SatoriGraphics  6 месяцев назад

      @@SatoriGraphics I'm working in this branche since 1988 for all kinds of clients. Most of the clients have no clue, what a good Design means and it became worse, since people believe they simply can do it with their PC, Clipart and AI. Some come up argueing with cheap pricing they find in the Internet.
      Most of them either like your skills, but want to pay you like a beginner or they have no clue at all, what a good design is and don't understand it's pricing. I simply reject clients, that don't match my pricing.
      Also you will get start-ups who would like to pay, but simply don't have the money. So they are normally starting at smaller budget.
      But there is always a range. It's normal to adapt the Design to the budget. That doesn't necessarly mean you do a bad job, but as a Designer you put less effort in a 1.000 bugs Logo than a 50.000 bugs Logo.
      Only starters put the same effort in every job, just to get the references, which actually is another problem. e.g. Nike only paid 35$ for their Logo, when they started their busniess.

From my view adapting to the budged is limiting the amount of materials like colors, patterns and effects, for example if you have a client with a much smaller budget you go with less colors and less resources used. Like you use less elaborate fonts or use smaller fonts that are more elaborate depending on the situation and on what the client wants. Is this a correct approach and view to have or is there a much better view and approach to have in this topic?

One is a beginner who doesn‘t want to spent more than maybe 150, the other one is experienced is willing to spent let‘s say 1.500. It already Starts with the briefing. For the first one you probaly search for a nice Font you may think fits for them and maybe alterate a little bit some nice stock graphics, basicly just something that Looks nice - that‘s it (which get‘s easier the more experienced you are).
      for the second one you take a deeper look at the Ambiente of the restaurant, which Kind of Clients they would Like to reach (e.g. modern or conservativ, younger, Order, Families or Business people, etc.) you offer different layouts, custom made graphics for a proper Branding, colorschemes, Mock-ups, etc.
      Sometimes I put more effort if i Like to help them (maybe because I Like them personaly or I Like their product or I think there might be more to come cause I believe in their Business idea - but that‘s just my personal decision in this case).
      But since you wrote you are a beginner, the truth is unfortunatly, as a beginner you will have to spent more effort in your Designs Even for small budgets, because you Need references. The Problem here is, you have to be careful Not to end up just in the „cheap section“. You‘ll have to find a Balance between the Need to get references and to Finance yourself with an Option to raise prices at a certain point.

    I've really enjoyed your videos over the years but this one seems like it was written by a teenager with no understanding of how effectively applying design principles can enhance the visual aesthetic. It didn't offer any insight except "be richer to afford fancy materials"
    The second business card printed on regular paper without the foil print would look meh compared to the first one if it was printed on translucent card with foil highlights.
    Same with the second poster, it's ok for digital, but if you printed out poster 1 and 2, a standard CMYK print would make the second poster look like rubbish compared to the first one. Solution, fork out the money to get special dyes?
    Then the 3rd poster, of course it looks dope if the only legible text you need on it is 2 words and you can fill the rest with cool imagery. Not really a fair comparison, the first poster conveyed way more information.
    Everyone has their off days so no ill will, I just hope you can make a video that actually shows how different experience levels in DESIGN can enhance the same content.

None of these landing pages you have shown reveal any results like traffic results, optin results, sale results etc. A landing page would not really be changed in design until it is tested online, until it gets the results person wants. This is not print, this is internet, online marketing, very different game. I would like when you do anything regarding landing pages, websites to reveal history of testing and data with results from changes of design i.e. headline, offer, image changes etc. You cannot design for online and not to optimize for results.
