    What other people
    are blabbering about
    for hours on youtube,
    you have made it precise,
    easy and understandable in
    just over 5 mins.
    Thank You!
    (See how I use Alignment, proximity, and white space in that one comment? lol)

    Every element of these videos are so well done! As a designer, this makes me want to share this with the people I work closely with that don't have the designer role, so they can get a better understanding of the work I do, the attention to detail I give, and why it all matters. Great work, and thank you!

    note for self:
    Five basic principles for layout and composition:
    1. Proximity: grouping related items together to make it easier to understand at a glance
    2. White Space: negative space; help define and separate different section
    3. Alignment: if things are aligned, it makes the composition easier to navigate
    4. Contrast: to catch the reader's eye, create emphasis. use color, size, shape, visual weight, or styles of text
    5. Hierarchy: make important items more eye-catching
    6. Repetition: things should have a consistent look and feel

I love the narration, it perfectly fits what is shown in the video. I can tell how much work the people behind this did. Kudos to all of you.

I've tried to find lots of videos and texts on the subject of good graphic design that I could apply to video game user interface design, but nearly all of theme never get to the conrete material and instead keep repeating the same cliches of good interface being "intuitive" and "unobtrusive" with no clear illustration or examples of how to actually achieve this.

    3. Alignment: readable, hierachy
    4. Contrast: recognize each part
    5. Repetition: loyal with determined color palette and Font
