Started being a RUclipsr and doing everything alone,, I found so many things to learn to make life so daunted.Yet I feel lucky and privileged because of the people like you teaching the newbies everything so generously and effectively. Really appreciated and thank you million times.
Excellent. Every point is valid and makes the difference between a delighted audience and death by PowerPoint. Just to pick a hole: in the 15th point, it should be "consistent" and not "consistant" in the box at the bottom. Which brings us to point #16: Proof read with a sharp eye.
Wow, this video was made 7 years ago but every point is still applicable today and it is a great summary of all the most important things about presentation. Great job, love it
Great list that’s easy for anyone without a design background to follow. #1 is actually my favorite thing to solve in design. Taking long paragraphs or chunks of text and figuring out how I can break it down, shorten the words, or how can I transform them into visual concepts
Another item overlooked sometimes is that you may need to print out your design. For me, our printers are just black-white laser printers so be mindful about your audience members printing the design when choosing fonts and colors. Also, we have several folks that are color blind in our office, so you need to take that into consideration too when using color as a differentiator within the story you are trying to tell.
If you're designing websites, don't ignore breakpoints. They're not just for different screen sizes. You can create a design just for print to make sure it looks good and doesn't waste ink
TOTAL RESPECT! You got across your message very clearly and succinctly covering 15 elements of design, all which are important. Newbies could spend many hours watching videos on youtube and not learn half of what you covered!
First, I love your presentation. I just subscribed to your channel. I have been creating newsletters for decades. And I agree with everyone of your points. I especially dislike it when magazines put a red background page with black text. I highly dislike it when the content can't be read. I always favor white background with black text. A good book to have is, "Looking Good in Print".
Failing do stay consistent. Fixing that a year ago made my landingpage designs waaaaay better. Thanks for the awesome list you put up here. That helped a lot.
Very nice. Perhaps we can use the same elements on both good and bad examples to really show the transformative fix that was applied. Very useful. Thanks!
Wow, it is very refreshing to see a RUclips video that gets straight to the point, has no filler, and no pandering to algorithm's (hit that subscribe, smash that bell, etc.). Just pure content and very well done. Love it. But get a better mic, haha.
I'm in my dotage, having worked as a graphic designer in the late 1960s. The most striking thing about this very sensible collections of mistakes is that it could have been produced in those days. It's remarkable. There are some eternal truths. One point; leading is pronounced leding. Line spacing used to be done by lead strip. Nice video.
Nice video and good points! I notice i'm not scaling the text enough (maybe my program doesn't make it fun, quick, or smooth enough, maybe excuses) but i'm getting better at it. Also, i haven't thought that the image could drive the selection / mood of the font. Maybe it's something i've been doing already, but now i can do it more consciously. Been struggling with text over contrasty images, but lately i've come to the realization that the images often needs to be muted (or changed), or use the forementioned color overlay. Good stuff! Often simplicity is the key. I rather use more time on simplifying the text and nailing the point, rather than playing around with fonts and colors trying to compensate. Less fonts and better harmony between the few fonts chosen (2-3) is the key. Even sometimes using nothing but the same font, but varying the font size noticeably can bring the goods. Capitalize some of the text, keep the rest normal. Bold and italic where appropriate takes one far enough. All the rest is just some nice extra, but are they essential or aiding?
6:13 The term "leading" is pronounced *ledding.* When texts were still printed with metal type, compositors would increase line spacing by adding additional strips of lead between lines of texts.
Also, the linespace between the text is pronounced 'ledding", not "leeding" because it originated with printing presses where they put pieces of lead between the characters.
I love your video, great info for design students. One comment I have is the term leading is pronounced like a lead pencil not like i'm leading you down the path. It refers to a time when people typeset with lead type. "Lead" was placed in between lines according to the amount of space desired.
The negative space...ironically, most of the time not clients but the seniors who ruin this aspect in any perfectly used design by commenting "design looks too empty, fill something to make it busy". and when that done, they come up with another point "design looks too cramped let us rethink".
Personally I think the modern web design, though it might look visually appealing the general usefulness is usually very crappy. The web is now full of sites that look good but do nothing. It's the novelty of a big full screen photo home page with nothing but a title and maybe a down arrow button. Then there is a two column alternating image on one side and meaningless text on the other, this continues boringly down to the footer which has about 50 pointless meaningless links. Then there are the mobile websites which are scaled down even further, yes they are responsive but it came at the cost of being useless. I hope trends change and websites start to both look nice and be useful at the same time. Sorry for my rant but the lack of imagination gets to me sometimes.
Since you don't like modern web design, do you have an example of a website that you *do* like? One that you think is effective in its layout and design?
The video brings essential points across. Yes, the audio quality is poor. Would anybody know a better video? At least for beginners, this one here is pretty helpful. Thanks to the producers.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial before that I am dealing with the designing a lot but now I know which points to keep in mind while designing:)
Great video. All I did was nod my head because I always keep these in mind when making Powerpoint presentations and it never fails to look good and be effective. There are times that my classmates thought that I used a downloadable template when I actually arranged everything myself.
Nice video, but the line spacing (leading) is not pronounced the same as in 'leading the the way forward', but like 'leding'. It comes from the old days of print when thin strips of lead (the metal) were placed under the letters to increase line spacing. Great information, only slightly marred by almost-distorting audio. Maybe I should make a video about common video mistakes by non-video producers?! Ho ho! Merry Christmas!
Great content presented very effectively. One correction: "leading" should be pronounced "ledding" because the word 'leading' originates from the strips of lead between rows of metal type which hand-typesetters used to use to space out lines of text evenly. The word leading is essentially a typographer's term for line spacing.
FYI - The word "leading" in typography rhymes with "bedding", not "bleeding". It comes from the word "lead" (as in metal), the material used for the spacers that separate lines of text in traditional typesetting. Otherwise, nice video.
I think one of the main issus is missing design thinking, research, connotation, experimenting etc. I hope some day I will see a video talking about design rather some basic principle stuff...
I thought that this was brilliant! The tips are great. I am a Digital Developer and using design themes and styles to create the 'look' and feel of our Learning Management System and soon, learning content. Looking forward to the next episode... enjoying the script too and Slide Deck Downloads. Pity no option to download the video. I'll find a stream recorder :-)
Hey man. You can download any video off RUclips just by typing ss before RUclips in the address bar. For example, wwwdotssyoutubedotcom and follow the instructions. Use actual dots, not the word dot like my example. Duh. Cheers.
The word 'leading' originates from the strips of lead hand-typesetters used to use to space out lines of text evenly. The word leading has stuck, but essentially it's a typographer's term for line spacing. Lead as in the metal, not lead as in 'leading a team' etc.
Another good point is to go back and look at your work another day because when you look at the same document for a long period of time, you might not see something that looks off.
As a layman I loved the fonts on the rustic image. They were quite eye catching and I can see them being used to show progress from old to new methods.
6:14 it's pronounced like ‘led-ding’. As in: the element Lead. That's what letters used to be made out of. Leading is extra lead added in-between lines of text
Hello, I am a middle school and high school teacher within the Oxford School District. I would love to show my students some of your videos for educational purposes in the online component of my class if you are ok with it.
"When I got out a jail, As soon as I could I bought a computer and went in bizness for myself as a sign maker, I made a ton of money sellinig very cheap signs to everyone. I had red black and green vunyl thats it! Easy moNEY !The other shops complained my stuff was making the city look terrible but who cars, I make lot of monay! All cash money !" I really did have a 'designer' tell me that about 2 years ago. And he did make quite a few signs without spell check, just like it is above.. He covered every nook in the city with 'signs'. Then he went back to jail. Time to clean up. ' Thank you for making the video that simplifies the most common problems. Well done.
@@Stadno you missed my point completely. even when it was in front of you. check the video again and try to understand why it was not a smart example. it is not a question whether the rule is right or not. cheers.
Your „ineffective color combination“ works pretty well for the German green party. Wonder why? Probably it represents their inefficiency pretty well, too: wysiwyg so to speak.
Hi there all your videos are great. Please can you do a step by step video as to how u r at the fron of your videos and slides are back and you are still able to pin point at the right place. Many thanks
I can add more: Hard to read reversed serif fonts on four color background, using the wrong font on a given subject, designing logos with too much colors , many more.....
Design mistakes from paid designers who should know better: Basic color theory on contrast in color (hue), saturation, and contrast. -- It is a very bad idea to put two light colors together. Too little contrast makes things unreadable. White text with yellow to gold to orange to red backgrounds, or the other way around? Too thin type? You are going to lose customers who can't read that, sometimes even if it is large or bold. The same with too little contrast if it's too dark. Try to have extra contrast for more impact. This doesn't only affect people with bad eyesight or color-vision problems. It affects all users. If you want to annoy or turn off people, or just make them take a few seconds too long having trouble reading even a title, a brand name or flavor, etc., then you are going to risk losing customers. Take a trip through the grocery store and see how things are mishandled in color usage. Or any product design. Very common mistake these days.
How do vector and raster images / pictures differ? What should be my ideal rationale when choosing any one of the two for a particular purpose? Please illuminate, or guide to a worthwhile tutorial. Thanks in advance! Regards and smiles 💐
Hello! Vector images usually comes in different file or format (.eps/svg) and they can be scaled without becoming pixelated while raster images (usually in jpg/png format) becomes pixelated when the size is increased.
Designers call it "leading" as in a lead slug that was physically put between the lines of text in the printing process. They didn't put "leed" between the lines. Seems important to get right when your premise is about mistakes ;)
I found it quite useful. Thank you. However, there were some things about the presentation that irritated. You call typefaces fonts. This is wrong. It is also confusing. Examples of typefaces are Univers, Baskerville Old Face, Placard, Gill Sans, Arial, Times New Roman. The two main ways of discriminating typefaces is serif and sans serif. Fonts are different alphabets within a typeface. For instance, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Condensed, Small Caps. These are all the same typeface, but have different characteristics, such as weight. It's simple enough.
Tight leading or line-height is OK if it fills a purpose in a concept. It's not just rules but ways to break'em. Gotta know when and where to apply the different methods.
Nice. But i'm of the view that in the designers world nothing is a thumb rule actually, it is clients choice at the end which matters, if client want more or less colors you have to add/remove those, if he/she wants more or less text then you have to follow so in the designing or graphic world it's all about clients choice.
The term "leading" is properly pronounced "ledding." It comes from the (ancient) method of hand typesetting in which thin bars of metal--lead--were dropped in between lines of text to add space between the lines.
Font Leading is not pronounced leeding, it is pronounced ledding. Why? Because it's from the strips of lead (soft metal) used to add linespace in the old days of metal type. Think of leaded glass windows, stained glass leading. Short E, not long E. You should have learned that in class! Or from reading if self-taught.

Its leading as in lead pencil. Not leading as in leading a parade. This dates back when they used lead to fix typography for a letterpress.

Fantastic video thank you.
The term "leading" is properly pronounced "ledding." It comes from the (ancient) method of hand typesetting in which thin bars of metal--lead--were dropped in between lines of text to add space between the lines.
Font Leading is not pronounced leeding, it is pronounced ledding. Why? Because it's from the strips of lead (soft metal) used to add linespace in the old days of metal type.

Excellent job!
