I’m a colour blind graphic designer (mild protan), yes i know that sounds dumb. When I applied to my graphic design school they invited me for an interview, they were concerned that I couldn’t be a professional designer with color blindness. I explained that I think there is more to design than just color and I think that my disability is not severe enough to limit my ability to create good looking designs. I also explained that there are solutions to color blindness like screen alterations and special glasses. They decided to let me in. Teacher where often surprised by my work and the use of color. It was exceptional from other students and it looked good anyways since only hue is effected with my color blindness. Today I’m running a profitable graphic design company and I’m designing may creative and good looking assets. Sometimes I struggle with a colorfull design, but this is often resolved by using technology and help from other designers. Moral of the story is that I don’t think a disability should be seen as a disadvantage and in today’s time we can use technology and the internet to our advantage. Keep fighting until the bitter end or until the sweet success!
Ooo did you know that there’s color blind glasses? Maybe you should get them? Not that you necessarily need to of course , just sometimes for when you’re struggling too much with color!
Unfortunately the B&W adjustment layer is not the most accurate B&W transformation. There is another very common method by using a black solid on top of everything and setting that to the blend mode "color", thus removing any color. But that's not perfect either. The best way is to use the sGray color profile. Just go into your Photoshop settings and set your color proofing profile to "sGray" (instead of CMYK). Now you can toggle it via Ctrl + Y, it's more accurate and you don't need an extra layer! :D
@@YVZSTUDIOS wow I loved the b&w tip, and being able to set it to sGray and hit cmd-y (on a Mac) is so easy and awesome -- TY guys! (btw to all those that want to do this, proof setup is in the "View" menu in Photoshop 2019
By far THE most helpful breakdown for understanding color I’ve ever had. I’ve heard the terms a million times and just was always confused, but now I feel as though I have a solid understanding of hue, saturation, and value! Thanks guys!
A small tip about using a black and white adjustment layer for checking your relative color values: by default, a black and white adjustment layer changes the value of your colors based on the color's hue and *will not* give you an accurate relative value. The Black & White adjustment layer is meant to emulate black and white film, where different hues would appear to be brighter or darker based on the type of film used and the different processes involved in developing it. To get a value-accurate desaturated image, either use a 50% gray layer set to the "Color" (or saturation) blending mode, or use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and turn the saturation to -100 in the Master channel.
Life is amazing ! 5 years ago I wasn't even thinking about product design and how to use color. Today I stumbled across this video and I LOVED IT! It made me want to learn more .Sending love and light. Thank you so much
Been following since I saw Jose and Chris explain how to extract brand values and use them in a branding exercise. It helped me become a successful designer. You guys came a long way and the content just keeps getting better and better. Witty, tons of value and cool editing! Nice job guys! Much appreciated!
love your video editing skills man!!! and the cool creativity while explaining things!! like changing the contrast of the word contrast !! just brilliant way of teaching
Thanks for this great video. I never really turned my artwork to black and white to check the saturation for illustrations more so just for color overlay but I am definitely going to try it next time! Thanks for the great tips!
Man, another Greg Gunn classic. Been doing this design thing for a long time now, but never felt like I’ve mastered color. This video breaks things down in a way that helps bring it all home. Sharing with my team.
Love the video! Your sense of humor and presentation are outstanding! My career has been in backend coding. Over the last 3 years I've tried to add web and graphic design into my workflow. Coming up with the proper color palette and how to apply it has been absolutely driving me nuts. Thank you for all that you do to put these videos together!
15 years deep in design and still learning. Thanks for the reminder, sometimes I forget how fun colours are, especially when all your clients are wealth and financial companies
OMG thank you very much for sharing this kind of CLEAR EXPLANATION!!!! i think my eyes or color taste has gone bad with my age all the time.. now i know why my coloring is really bad!!! wow!! what a revelation!. thank you!!!
I don’t know if you a natural or if you struggled a lot and insisted on it, but you have become an outstanding communicator, Greg. Thank you for your videos!
I would have loved for the timelapse part to be in real time and to have heard your thought process during that part. I feel like that could have been the most valuable part of the video.
Thank you for this video. Color has always been intimidating but if I want to be a successful Mograph designer, I need to get out of this fear box and experiment. Thank you for this awesome video.
Thank u very much, this is so helpful. I really suck at color picking. If the drawing that i have looks good ,i would ruin it just beacause of my coloring. Gonna try to practice more with colors cuz i just found out that i can't use colors well :0 This video is so helpful !!
Insane video, great information, I'm actually watching every color video and I'm impressed, there's so much of this info that I didn't knew about. Thinking seriously about tthe color course.
Greg should do more videos. I love the care-free style of his videos. Btw great tips for trying to suck less at using colors xD Would love more videos on colors or similar topics :)
I have seen videos of an hour long about how to use color and they all show the color wheel and how color schemes are made from color wheel or they will tell websites for color schemes which is not helpful at all. This is one of the best videos on how to use color well done.

@@BowHooHoo Yes I know about the Encroma glasses. I would love to try then but I haven’t had the opportunity to buy them yet
What's your company called? Would love to see some of your work. Do you have an instagram?
do you have instagram?
I too am colour blind (deuteranomaly) but I don’t let that stop me, even if I do draw a red tree 🙂
That B&W filter was the best. Thanks for the tip.

you explaine it better than design lecture in whole semester !
this is the kind of video that makes me share in 6 different art and illustration groups
Share away!
Can you add me to the group or send me a link please?
Can you add me 😅 please
Can u add me please?
@@PerezJesuscantor let's make a community?
I can literally feel my eyes cool down when you did that adjustment.
Damn, using the technique of turning the picture b&w to distinguish the contrast is really genious! Will definitely implement it to my workflow!
Thank you Futur for not blasting loud music during the learning session, really appreciate it!
Lots of gems in this color tutorial.
By far THE most helpful breakdown for understanding color I’ve ever had. I’ve heard the terms a million times and just was always confused, but now I feel as though I have a solid understanding of hue, saturation, and value! Thanks guys!
That is fantastic to hear! And my goal for this video. Glad it helped solidify things.
I'm colorblind
This video was a fun way to get a better handle on color, and that b&w values tip is so helpful~ (used it recently 😅)
Thank you Futur 😊
Happy to hear it is helpful!

This sounds like a very useful tip but it confused me way more than it should lol
@@itsalejandroe He's talking about photoshop layers
i tried it and all of them gave the same result

Hi Futur~ Thank you so much for this video, I always have problem balancing my colors, this is really helpful!
Not that Hue lol! Greg's pacing is so cool and fun. Loved the illustration one as well big time.

Thanks, Gabriel. I learn new things all the time and am still amazed at how little I know. I'm right there with ya.
That black and white tool is dope, thanks!
Really appreciate the hard work put into making this video! Never thought something like colour theory would be so entertaining to learn :D Thank you!
Thanks a lot for your great tutorial. I watched so many tutorials but they don't explain like this. This video is really really helpful.
The editing, humor, and simplicity of the teaching is just
*kiss fingers*
Superb
Thanks, David :)

Cool video... Some of the best 7 minutes I've spent on RUclips. Now I finally know how HSV is structured.
Thanks for the great tips!
This is such a good and interesting video to watch. Didn't skip any second of it. Everyone should teach like this
Thank you so much for this. It’s so helpful 🙌🏻
Very helpful tips! Thanks!
That "Hugh" joke did made me laugh :D

This video is amazing! I love it
I'm loving these more illustration focused videos. I'm always struggling with color so I just use existing palettes to use in my work.
Color can be a struggle, but it's a powerful tool when used right.
Loving this kind of video! Please do more!!
I remember watching this some time ago. Neat and short video that teaches good info, good to revisit every once in a while hehe.
Love how this was done. Great job Greg!

Contrast is everything.

Wow Greg! Congratulations!!! This is an amazing video!
Great script, rythm (maybe a little too fast when doing the changes), and message. =)
