I've felt lost and confused for so long. I just couldn't figure out why I haven't been able to get to the next level as a designer. Wow thank you for putting everything in a different perspective and for being a mentor!
I *completely * agree. Also: I couldn’t help but chuckle at 0:45 where Chris suggested that Maslow described his hierarchy of needs, “a couple thousand years ago.” (In fact, it was published in the 1940s.) After dozens and dozens of hours of learning from his videos, this is the first time I’ve ever had to fact check Chris. I’m sure it was a slip of the tongue, but it still struck me as funny.
@@riledmouse4677 Chris was referring to Thales, an ancients Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago, who said, "the most difficult thing in life is to know yourself."
This six minute video will require six months of self-reflection to absorb. Could I do more good for my clients than I am doing now? What are their problems I am not seeing? Thank you for helping me not just be a better designer, but a more worthy human. V
Your channel Totally reshaped the way I conduct my little side business, photography. Thanks to your videos on how to pitch a concept i secured ask important job with the university of Helsinki (3.5k€). Thanks 🙏
I join Newpix. As a copywriter, I've learnt a lot from this channel, and I'm not even in a "creative" business. My artistic sense is subzero. But the videos are truly brilliant.
I’m always seeking for the right questions to ask because I’m believer of if you ask the right questions you get the right answers! Thank you for this one!
There's a lot of great advice in this video. I dig it. My only concern would be the really high value questions, the "why" questions. I'm going to lay it out there - I strongly dislike 90% of "why" questions because they tend to get abstract and ethereal. Maybe I'm not applying them correctly in my consultations. But for me, most "why's" tend to take the client out into the cosmos. Good identity questions are going to be abstract and specific - ie - they have at least some specificity to keep grounded in a context. Who is defined by values, values give shape to a mission or goal - so when I start with a client - I want to get at the heart of who they are and what motivates them in the morning first - then move into ok - how do those values look when materialized in the form of branding or storytelling.
"Why did you exist?" is such an important question. I first learned about this question from Simon Sinek, a brilliant guy who talks about the WHY in business. I highly recommend you to watch his TED talks.
Thank you so much Chris for this, I've been doing some free seminars here at home Tabora ,Tanzania helping people to discover their life purpose, I've been using a framework of questions to help them figure it out. This video motivated me to restructure the framework of questions that I've been using to help other discover their life purpose Into helping clients find the purpose of their companies, projects and products as way towards creating meaningful and impacting businesses. Thank you again
This is so fulfilling and so valuable content I think was left off out my classroom while I was studying graphic design. Most of the professors focused more in other meaningless stuff instead of advice like this, to prepare the new generations of graduates (no matter what you area is) and have the resources and foundations needed to face the real life out there. I really appreciate you all sharing this amazing advice. Thank you all, greetings from Mexico.
I have always studied realms of commerce & often say my perspective is my gift because of my ability to offer fresh ideas on a whim & help individuals & brands cultivate their purpose & potential. Your channel helped me to see the value of having the ability to have creative business conversations. It's a rare skill. I'm excited about adjusting my price points 😁
I just recently found your RUclips Channel and I found so much value from it not only for the Designing part, but how to treat and collaborate with your own customers. Thanks for this wonderful video, really made me think more in depth over things.
WOW! ... wasn't expecting that Nugget of Gold thought i'd be getting strategies on how designers are charging more for same work ... like from their fame etc ... but what i got was DEEP ... you become More Valuable by *ACTUALLY DELIVERING TRUE VALUE* to the client
As a secondary teacher of design in the UK we are taught to make use of Blooms Taxonomy to develop questioning and exploration in our students, and in our own professional development. This can be applied to the themes in the video also, its worth a google to develop the techniques. Great video and channel, thanks 😊
Hey Dan! I recognize your comment is two years back, but~ Would you be open to sharing more about how you apply Bloom's? I've been interested in this Taxonomy for some months now, but haven't had the opportunity to learn how people apply it, in practice :)
I think this is by far one of the most cohesive articulations of value I've come across. And this not only applies to designers but all individuals at any level. Splendid Chris DO!
The value you bring to your videos is outstanding, partly because of the fact that you think very deeply. I really enjoyed this, looking forward to more of your content.
you have an amazing analysis on the art world you ask simplistic questions but explain it in a comprehensive undesrsandable standard that is proofed by examples of evidence i am a big fan originally was a hater of you not gonna lie but after watching your work you help me this is important for people like us i appreaciate this and ur work
I am really happy that I discovered your channel. I cannot say how thankful I am for your videos. I am new at the design but these videos inspire me to learn more and more and your way of thinking is moving my perception of the design world to a whole new level. Thanks a lot Chris:)
It’s sad to see dislikes on great information . I feel like too many people are looking for the “miracle tip” but when they see the actual work involved they become upset because it just means more work for them .
This channel is what i needed all along. It hits on so many things i did right/wrong. Plus i'm gaining knowledge on things i haven't come accross yet. Seriously, from the bottom of the bottom of my heart; Thank you for sharing! For free even. --Greetings from the Netherlands
Always so great! I found out about the futur a few weeks ago and it's been one of the best resources I've seen. I've starting going from the beginning of all the videos taking notes. I'm going to sign up for the pro group as soon as I finish the win without pitching manifesto. Thanks
I'd buy you coffee and dinner and an ice cream sandwich, just to listen to you talk about design. As an aspiring design student who's currently building his portfolio, I'm nervous beyond doubt. But watching your videos puts me at some odd ease. I fully grasp everything you talk about. I just have to over come the hurdle of being able to draw well enough to get into design school. I have a million ideas, I have tons of ways to execute cool things for different brands, but where the good lord put a billion ideas into my head, he ran out of magic potion when it came to my drawing talents. Great videos and I'm definitely going to sub. I'll need something to watch in case the rejection letters come rolling in.
This is a great channel. I just started watching some of your videos and so far it has changed the way i think and they way i approach my clients. As i grow in my designs capabilities and skill set i believe that this is good food for me. Keep the videos coming. I appreciate them. You're Doing great things!
As always, top class content. Not only for "work", but for life. In return, considering myself a valuable Designer, for the 0:50 close up pyramid, i strongly recommend using a vector file (continuously rasterized) or an exported vector shape in After Effects, to avoid pixelation. Thanks a lot.
thanks Chris for this sharing this with us as this goes beyond having great design skills. You're taking us with with you to look at design work on a different level. Lots of valuable pieces of advice here. God bless.
Hi Chris the reason I really like this video is that it speaks to me in a different way. Before a lot of the videos on portfolio and passion were more when I was in a student mentality and I was just trying to get my foot in the door. Now that I'm a little bit more established professionally, what I'm trying to ask myself is what is the next step? How do I become a good designer to a great designer to a designer that is legendary?
Glad I stumbled across this channel. Ill just watch an observe for a while then no doubt will have questions. Thanks to Phillip van Dusen for directing me here. Cheers.
Holy shit, this is mind blowing. I've thought about those things for many years and how to communicate it to company leaders. Chris Do nailed down by communicating it in a few minutes.
I absolutely love this content. Thank you for your insights and commitment to delivering profoundly meaningful, and actionable, content. Question. Can you provide more videos on this topic of working with a client to mine the company/brand's purpose, and deeper insights on the discovery process. This is where the magic happens. It differentiates an "order-taker" from a designer who positions themselves as a strategic partner in their client's business. Thank you again
Sometimes when I ask the higher value questions that are about purpose, I get 0 response (or seen on facebook) and they just pick the one, who most likely don't ask. One client had told me that the questions I gave were so deep (to clients perspective) that at first they thought I was wasting their time. A week later they looked at it again said that those wore good questions, but initially they just didn't think I was a pro with these kind of questions (it was an ad agency). Should there just be types of projects you take this "purpose" approach or am I just doing something wrong there? By the way, great content, I love it. Thanks
I find that this has to be a conversation. when you ask harder questions like purpose and meaning, few people have the ability to answer this. this is why you have to work at helping them uncover their purpose. for example, what if I asked you, what your purpose is? how would you answer that?
Thank you for your reply. I see your point, but often it is a luxury to have the time for conversation before the price offer. Usually while I get the basic answers to the details that affect the price and quality, they make a deal with someone that didn't bother with questions. Then what way should this 'chat' develop? Is it better to just ignore these situations, or should I go for making a guess of a price and then later adding the value?
So much value here. The one thing I've learned in my 10+ years as a working designer is that effective design is not so much about design itself as it is about working with your client in the discovery process early on in order to make sure you're working towards the proper purpose and solving the right problems. If you both start off on the wrong page, all the works for nothing.
I've been sat in the studio all day trying to re-design the KFC bucket [typical student work] and never once thought about these questions. They really help to find a purpose when there isn't an obvious one to design towards.
Nice video Chris but it's pretty much utopic for other parts of the world. Asking high value questions require high value clients and I'm not talking about big financial clients specifically. I mean clients with a high level of understanding of why they do business in the first place. For example in a business environment like my country (România) which is dominated by ex-communists and an ex-communist mentality you will almost never get any answers to these questions. Here most people do business to make money as fast as possible. It's as simple as that. And for these kind of clients, which are tge majority, the price is more important than value. And talking to friends from other Eastern European countries or even India, the business landscape is very similar. I've been running my little studio for the last 9 years and pretty much gave up on the high value questions unless the client seems prepared for them. From time to time we do get these kind of clients but we couldn't survive taking only the good ones and I'm sure this applies for a lot of other studios/designers as well. Anyway keep up the good work with these videos but just keep in mind you have a global audience which is pretty different from the US one. Best, Cristian
YOU CAN'T CHARGE FOR TIME: It forces you to compete with those who charge lower. It also means you will have to sell your hours to survive. Charging hourly gives the impression of low price equates to low value. It mentally numbs you to not probe a client effeciently and therefore to dive headway into a project. It devalues the charge on work that impacts the revunue rise on a client or company. It is mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually draining to the hours you must spend to uplift your well being.
Hi sir , I have 6 years of experience 2 years I have done only web design and from past 4 years working as graphic designer my qualification is 10th and had done certification course for animation my career is not growing as per my experience I am getting low payments not getting call from any MNC I have very interesting in learning and developing my skills but I don’t have any basic knowledge like BFA students I need a help how I can grow my knowledge and make basics strong please guide me I am really very passionate about my work I don’t no how to sketch and paint I cannot create Logos I work on social media ads banner in But I am good visual thinker Please help me how can I take my career ahead Hoping for your reply
0:40 Although at the very top of the Pyramid Self-Actualization can not be the most important thing generally speaking. Just try to leave out the lower levels and see what happens ;) But I must agree that if you have all parts going for you fulfilling the top most position has the greatest value. Maybe it is more like fullfilling the current level´s needs and getting to the next is top priority at that time, therefore the overall most important must be the base level.
So just for info sake, Maslow went on to add one more layer in the pyramid towards the end of his life. That comes above self actualisation and that’s self transcendence. Google it for more info on that, unfortunately this still remains the famous one.
Chris, thanks for these wise words - inspiring as always. For those who'd like to go deeper in the topic of purpose behind the brands, grab a "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek.
You man you re one of my best . I love graphic design and painting i stared this cuz i founded u always smiling and have a healthy aura . I love art fashion design painting all this stuff cuz its gives others something material and moral . not pressure them god bless u Ninja man hh or One punch man haha im kidding sensei god bless evey pot of blood in you and ur team im happy cuz i see my dream's information and good guiding on youtube thnx a lot
What if the work comes from a big company that pays bad, who knows perfectly well why they exist ect.? What type of questions would we ask of them in this case?

So much value here. The one thing I've learned in my 10+ years as a working designer is that effective design is not so much about design itself as it is about working with your client in the discovery process early on in order to make sure you're working towards the proper purpose and solving the right problems. If you both start off on the wrong page, all the works for nothing.

I've been sat in the studio all day trying to re-design the KFC bucket [typical student work] and never once thought about these questions. They really help to find a purpose when there isn't an obvious one to design towards.

Thank you.
Its hard not to love this channel
Wow! Highlighted!.. keep doing the great work guys.
Oh My those sunglasses hahah xD
Moral " Ask questions" find out purpose by again asking meaningful questions
Nice video Chris but it's pretty much utopic for other parts of the world. Asking high value questions require high value clients and I'm not talking about big financial clients specifically. I mean clients with a high level of understanding of why they do business in the first place.
For example in a business environment like my country (România) which is dominated by ex-communists and an ex-communist mentality you will almost never get any answers to these questions. Here most people do business to make money as fast as possible. It's as simple as that. And for these kind of clients, which are tge majority, the price is more important than value. And talking to friends from other Eastern European countries or even India, the business landscape is very similar.
I've been running my little studio for the last 9 years and pretty much gave up on the high value questions unless the client seems prepared for them. From time to time we do get these kind of clients but we couldn't survive taking only the good ones and I'm sure this applies for a lot of other studios/designers as well.
Anyway keep up the good work with these videos but just keep in mind you have a global audience which is pretty different from the US one.
Best,
Cristian

Maaaan...I just read "Breaking The Time Barrier" and trust me...meaningful connections.
tell me more.
YOU CAN'T CHARGE FOR TIME:
It forces you to compete with those who charge lower.
It also means you will have to sell your hours to survive.
Charging hourly gives the impression of low price equates to low value.
It mentally numbs you to not probe a client effeciently and therefore to dive headway into a project.
It devalues the charge on work that impacts the revunue rise on a client or company.
It is mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually draining to the hours you must spend to uplift your well being.
Kind of a silly question, but what’s one way someone might answer the question, “How will you judge if this is successful?”
More customers. More leads. Better conversion.

0:40 Although at the very top of the Pyramid Self-Actualization can not be the most important thing generally speaking. Just try to leave out the lower levels and see what happens ;)
But I must agree that if you have all parts going for you fulfilling the top most position has the greatest value. Maybe it is more like fullfilling the current level´s needs and getting to the next is top priority at that time, therefore the overall most important must be the base level.
Yes the base level shows essential needs. They are the foundation.
Great video! The sunglasses at the end are pretty dope!
So just for info sake, Maslow went on to add one more layer in the pyramid towards the end of his life. That comes above self actualisation and that’s self transcendence. Google it for more info on that, unfortunately this still remains the famous one.
Nice one! Keep up with the good work.
Seriously good stuff here. Similar to why, how & what.
This is a great value content. Thank you for such a great video.
our pleasure.
motivational ....both in design and life too
