Someone called you the Bob Ross of photoshop, and I couldn't agree more. Your videos are so relaxing and informative, 25 minutes feels like 5. Cant wait for the next upload!
Hey guys, some of you wanted a project that I went a little deeper into my process on, so I've been working for the past couple of weeks on this new in-depth video series! Would love to know what you think about this style of video. It's a little longer than normal, so I hope that's okay. Don't forget to share this series with someone who could benefit from it!
just blown away at the mastery of your craft. Your talk-through of WHY you are doing things (composition/grouping/hierarchy/focal point/highlights/shadows) is where the knowledge nuggets are for me. Don't stop!
I have been in a design rut for awhile now, seriously like on the brink of quitting design altogether…but after coming across your video randomly, you made me fall in love with the art all over again, thank you! I now want to learn more and be a better designer!
In my trade, I had to design a logo for a hypothetical brand. I like to think this channel helped me understand hierarchy in design when it came to that project. I’m not even a graphic designer yet I’ve sat through this series in full multiple times lmao. You’re amazing, Mr. Shepherd
Thanks for your videos. I’m a senior graphic designer/art director and sometimes we just forget why did we choose that carreer in the first place. Refreshing and revigorating, you make me wanna do better at work
😍I LOVE YOUR DESIGNING at first I didn't even like designing but after watching you I love it.Your the BEST designer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Insanely good, this is so underrated. Idk anything about package designing but I think syrup over the main focus "pancake mix" would make it even better, but thats just my opinion with no experience of package designing 😅
You are by far the best RUclipsr in this category. You’re genuine, humble, informative, thorough and you don’t gatekeep anything. I am grateful that the Lord has blessed you with these wonderful gifts because you are helping so many of us see what’s possible within our own ability and potential. Keep up the GREAT WORK and may you continue to reap any and all the benefits of your hard, honest work ❤ Cheers!
Thank you so much Parker!! Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I'm happy all the content I'm sharing is doing some good in the world. I wish you the best of luck on your design journey! 😄 Really appreciate your support
@@RealFaodail You can't sharpen something that hasn't been given to you. God gave Brandon this desire to be artistic and it's been Brandon that's been diligent and devoted to increasing and growing that seed. Now look at the fruit Brandon has produced through his relentless hard work. Hallelujah, to YHVH be all the glory!
@@RealFaodail Why mock something you claim to be non-existent? Look how wicked you are to come here and intervene in a friendly display of appreciation between two people. What a miserable life you must live going around into the comments of loving, thankful viewers, that give God the glory, mocking the very God you ignorantly and arrogantly deny. Wicked and shameful. I don't remember this conversation including you, yet you're so desperate for debate and attention with a man of God. Only foolish display foolishness so it's fitting coming from you. Goodbye.
This is brilliant Brandon! 👏🏻This kind of presentation of the design process of a packaging design brings so much value. Keep it up and we are waiting for more videos 😉(moving on to part 2 & 3 🏃🏻♀️😁)
I'd like to learn more about the small tricks you use - like blending modes, masks, shadows etc. The way you make flat objects sit together so well. Can we get tutorials on that please?
Usually a logo needs to have an invisible border without any elements comming into that said border (safe zone is what it's called). Although I like the pan over the logo this would highly not pass in the real world. Also the logo will be cut in half when the package is oppened. I would suggest placing the logo either s bit below and resizing the pan or even placing it on top of the word "pancake" (of course reduce the size of the text). Lastly the overall look and feel is a bit to "happy" and less "handmade". I would add either a grainy texture to the overall design as well as desaturate the colors (especially the red. It pops a bit too much imo). The rest is top notch 👌
@@GeoStuff555 lol I'm very aware of that. I just wanted to share some changes I would personally do to Brandon's design accompanied with justification :)
amazing design !!!! nect time when you use the light direction circle i found out if you adjust it exactly in the middle on that circle of the dot in this light tool you will get so very very intresting results and more so so so slow away from the center, see how it goes
You are amazing ive been watching your videos for a while now and your really inspiring and you just keep going no matter he hate. Keep going, your amazing!
minor tip i've just thought of for the lighting on the mockup. If you put a black and white filter over the starting image without the front and back words, then make that semi-transparent and layer that on top of the rest of the image, you could keep the rest of the bag's texture, adding the folds and creases to the character of the design
i would definetly grab this pack if it was in my convience store. I´m from germany so i don`t think i will ever see this, but damn you can sell me design lessons even though i`m a painter of walls and ceilings.. think im still gonna learn a lot , like marketing and artistry composition from your videos to use in my life. love your videos im hooked
Only major change I would make is when the bag is opened, the logo will be likely ripped too. You want them to see that a remember it every time they grab that mix. Great job
that was great, but I really miss the bag photo. If there was some way to add that as a layer of light at the end, I think it would make it more realistic. But great design and video, and thought process!
when I saw that logo, I imagined it on the front of an old-timey general store, like the kind you see in westerns. I feel like that would have brought out the more antique feel of the brand, espescially if it was done in a sort of charcoal-stick style
You can see that in the logo it says “original” so it would be cool to see other mixes of the pancake mix possibly like “Mixed Berry” or “Chocolate Chip” but just an idea!
@@BrandonShep Practical videos, We want to know what the customer is asking and what we should do as if we were in the job market and thank you so much bro
I love the design, but I think that adding some shine onto the "pancake mix" text would do a better job of making it look realistic, because right now it looks a little dry, almost like animal crackers. I've become obsessed with your videos, keep it up!
Hi Brandon, I’m really liking your channel! I’m fairly new to graphic design (hobby for a few years but now looking to make it a career). I’m leaning towards packaging design...wondered if you could recommend any good online courses? Thanks 👍
I dont realize that i’ve been watching this for almost 30 minutes without even getting bored
That's a good sign :) Thanks for watching!
Same
omg same
Can anyone suggest some more design channels on RUclips like this. Please
Sorry, idk @boas Mr
Someone called you the Bob Ross of photoshop, and I couldn't agree more. Your videos are so relaxing and informative, 25 minutes feels like 5. Cant wait for the next upload!
I definitely agree! It is really easy to understand the way he explains
Not nearly as soothing tho lol
Benny productions is 10x better
@@thereale.t.9887 too ADHD most of the time. I prefer slower pace 🤷♂️
Even though he is more energetic than Bob Ross I kind of agree
Hands down the most informative design process channel out there
Too kind. Appreciate you for watching!
i would have propose you another channel that is also very good, but it's in french xd

@@BrandonShep seriously, Thankyou 🙏
@@jayen5751how are you doing now?
The design honestly looks like a game poster. It's so detailed and refreshing in the eyes. I mean delicious.
I really love it. the walkthrough is good, the execution is even better.
Thanks a lot, Sean! Glad you liked it
You're such an amazing RUclipsr
Package designing is one of my many passions, and you give me so much inspiration ! 💙💙
Every time I thought you were getting close to something finished you kept going! But just getting better and better. This was incredible to watch
One thing I notice is that when the package is opened the logo is cut in half. Other than that though this is such a great break down video.
Brandon, your tutorials are a game changer! Clear and concise breakdown - love your work.
Many thanks, Josh! Plenty more coming soon :)
Bro this guy is crazy, i have never seen somebody use photoshop like this. W Brandon 👏👏👏
Heart of a graphic designer & mind of a photo editor
I’m not even a designer and I love when you do these vids

19:00 Yes I’m glad ur contrasting theme!! Also strawberries and white chocolate just work, same with blueberries and syrup

You are like the Bob Ross of design. Everything comes to together so well in the end, its always very satisfying to watch.
Found you on reddit and I absolutely love, love this
Thanks for heading over to watch it!
Fantastic design and the bevel & embossing of the syrup blew my mind!!
😍I LOVE YOUR DESIGNING at first I didn't even like designing but after watching you I love it.Your the BEST designer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this guy! I mean the finishing part looks like SUPER realistic. And this is him 3 years ago
The emboss part about syrup blew my mind
Excellent! 👍👍
Best graphic design channel on RUclips. Excellent stuff.
Man! the whole video is like a meditation! great tutorial!
Bro all your videos has 100 % likes because you are pro

Omg i cant believe how good you are at this.
One suggestion: put the net weight above the pankake mix text but of course make it smaller

It was so good it made me want actual pancakes
Im surprised by how good this looks

I am not a designer but I STILL watch these videos.
This is insane. What a guy
watched 2 video and now i am your fan. 😄
Awesome video and design! Great job! This channel is about to blow up!
Thanks so much! And I hope you're right. Would love for more people to be able to see these and maybe learn something from them
you sir, are a wizard.
Honestly I just watch because it's fun
I feel this should get at least 500k views... Anazing content, bruh
Me too man 😂. Let's hope it gets there!
I'm glad that I found you!
Thats soo good reminds me of camping and making pancakes for breakfast

You are great artist. thank for sharing your experience.
My pleasure 😊
You do magic with shadows and lighting. Would love something on that
I'm building an entire course on it! It's in the works as we speak :)
I really aspire to design like you one day! Your designs are amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Only major change I would make is when the bag is opened, the logo will be likely ripped too. You want them to see that a remember it every time they grab that mix. Great job
Amazing work! Thank you for the inspiration! You are such a pleasure to listen to! This channel! is on fire 🔥
i enjoyed watchin you creating an interesting presentation without geting board
This must be what sports fans feel while watching a hype game.
that was great, but I really miss the bag photo. If there was some way to add that as a layer of light at the end, I think it would make it more realistic. But great design and video, and thought process!
Oh, I see its on another video!!! forget I said that!
im glad you posted on reddit. I really like watching these kinds of vids. Awesome job, keep em coming!
Thanks for watching! I'll certainly be making more soon
thanks the result is insane!!!
This is gonna be really useful because we'll have to design a package for sometime as our project for my graphic design college this semester
when I saw that logo, I imagined it on the front of an old-timey general store, like the kind you see in westerns. I feel like that would have brought out the more antique feel of the brand, espescially if it was done in a sort of charcoal-stick style
Your so talented its crazy
Other than the drop shadow overlaying the 80 pancakes logo Its very good!
Looks so good! I hope the pancakes taste good
You are inspiring me to get photo shop and make my own designs! Ty
This is great!!!
Thanks a lot!
18:44 coolest part! I love doing this effect in ibis paint 😂
You can see that in the logo it says “original” so it would be cool to see other mixes of the pancake mix possibly like “Mixed Berry” or “Chocolate Chip” but just an idea!
