I feel vignettes went out for a bit during the flat design era at first, but it's always a handy resource
Because of your channel, my design skills have improved significantly and I just got my 1st job as a designer for a weekly newspaper. I try to watch every episode I can but am currently working on completing one of your logo playlists.
Because of your teaching/communication style, I've been able to internalize the lessons very well. I enjoy it. One area I'd love to see you do is some of the more tedious stuff, like file management systems. Filing multiple versions, the use of the history panel for referencing different stages of designs and even layer management. For the paper I work for, a huge part of my day is managing our giant database. The system is good, but college did not prepare me for how to think about storage systems and archiving or even some of the technical aspects / basic computer science. College taught me a framework for design thinking pretty well.
Most of my designs are for basic ads for our layouts...not a ton of opportunity to get super fancy...but I think there is opportunity to be a unique communicator through design with these ads. There are lots of opportunities for clients ad work to get a fresh new look which I hope could lead to rebranding opportunities. I notice that many of our clients think they aren't getting moneys worth if there is any white space without realizing that breathing room is actually working FOR them. I'd love to change this.
Mostly I'd just like to thank you for your contribution to the design community.

wow hats off to you for gaining that job position. I'm sure you're going to learn a lot while in that job too. It's a good starting point where you can gain industry experience and see how businesses operate.
Thanks for the suggestion, and wish you all the best
Great tips video. Another couple steps I like to use for designs are: 1) Word mapping 10 key words and ideas 2) Applying the typographic scale - and only using notes within that scale on a layout.
I love your videos. I'm looking for useful, professional, info that's easy to digest. Found it. Thank you!
Hi again Lauren lol. Thanks for your support and I suggest checking out the playlists on my homepage if you want to continue learning. Cheers 👍
Really useful, thanks for sharing!
As an illustrator….. designers are like wizards to me idk what kind of magic is being worked here, but it looks good? Wild
It was fresh sip of air in design. Simple rules, but really efective. Thank You Tom.
Your loyal viewer.
Very welcome
Helpful video as always, thank you! ✌🏾
My pleasure!
The vignette style was very popular in the 2010s. Used to love them and applied them to my high school yearbook :D
One the best channel for graphic designer to learn thanks
Hey! I have been watching a few of your videos and find them 🔥 Love how you explain everything so clearly.
Hey thanks a lot SunFlower, have a great day 👋
I still learning english and im using your videos to improve my english skils while i learning more about graphic design. Thanks for this content , its so helpful
wow that's really good. Learning two different things from one video.
Great!!! Again, exactly what I needed! Love your channel 🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey nice video! It helps a lot. Can you be more specific on the word "Rag"? I didn't understand
Rag refers to the uneven “edge” to your text block created by lines ending/breaking.
If you align your text to the left, then the right side of that text block will be “ragged.”
If you align to the right, then the left side will be “ragged.”
If you justify your type in an area, then there will be no “rag” because the text is aligned to both the left and right sides.
Thank you! Simple and useful, nice
Happy to help!
More content like this please. I want to improve beyond mastering the fundamentals. I want to both master the basics while at the same time have an advanced application of graphic design.
Noted and more to come in the future
This is the kind of stuff I’ve been struggling with in my still life work. The 60, 30,10 very helpful !
happy to hear that!
I am literally blown away by this video plz more sir
Love this, the bag looks like brown canvas as paper = trees, love the detail in these videos so much.
Glad you liked it, thanks :)
great vid thanks, love the font tips I don't have any patience for fonts
Learning so much from your videos. Thank you.
Glad to hear that :P
I’m going to use this guide to improve my personal website! Thank you!!
Fantastic, all the best :)
Don't know how I missed this video?! But this is great content as always. I love how much time and effort you put in these videos! Thank you for educating us for free. I would love to see some sort of graphic design course/masterclass from you. Keep it up!!!🔥
thanks Janis, hope you have a great day :)
I second the masterclass idea.
Do More Videos Like This, Satori❤️
Thanks.
More to come!
Another great content, Thanks 🙌
Appreciate it!
Thank you very much for this tip. I do many things wrongly when designing. With your help, am going to improve. Am sure.
Big fan Sir you helped me Alot to stand in this field ❤️
happy to hear that, thanks :)
Your transitions are so cool! Please provide a tutorial if you can
No tutorial because I simply download them from Envato Elements and place them onto my editing timeline
I love how you approach designing
Thanks :)
Hi I wanted to thank you. You've helped me so much... your videos are the best out there keep going...🔥🔥 I'm an architect that loves graphic design and thinks that it's a major part of architecture ❤
hey thanks a lot Lana, much appreciated and all the best to you :)
I like the balance of your video between theory and practice... you don't spend too much time into the software or explaining the theory with useless details but focus on the core concept that make a design great, and these golden nuggets come in handy for both novice and seasoned professionals. Good job!
Wow thanks a lot for this feedback :)
perfection!!!!
your thumbnails are getting creative day by day...keep it up sir
hey thanks a lot, and I wish you all the best with your channel too
This is great!!
Cheers Sue
I really appreciate your uploads man just so i can steal information from them and post them on Instagram in a different words love it
If it helps you out then sure lol. How many followers do you have?
Thank you 😊 💓
Thank you!
Thanks for the comment as always Sunil
Insane tips!
Appreciate it!
Hey Tom why don’t you make tutorials like this one bro we really need these type of tutorials I mean this is just a blow man this was really helpful and enjoyable for me I really love that how you transform that simple design to look more professional looking design 🔥🔥. Thanks for every tutorial bro I really get something out of it every time 😘😘
Hey I really appreciate that, and hopefully more to come soon
Hi Satori Graphics! Thank you so much for your excellent tutorials, your explaining style is just fantastic. So many GD concepts flew over my head until I found your channel. Do you have any tips for adapting PS tutorials into GIMP ones? Although there are differences, they often use different names for equivalent functions. Vector graphics concepts seem easier to transpose from program to program, but not so much raster ones.
Great to hear that Suz. I've never actually used GIMP so can't help you out there sorry to say. I would have a search through RUclips though if I was you
Some of these advices is just a matter of tastes, style and time. Imho such designs can look like millions others. Be creative! Have your own vision and style!
Very very perfect 👍🏼
Thank you very much!
Wow, this really upped my thumbnail game for my channel!
Glad to hear that Kat 👍
Peace - love it.
👍☮
We can also play with gradients to make an object prominent.
Indeed. There are many things we can do, that's one of them
I feel like I learned more in 8 minutes of watching this than I did in 2005 when I was in college for Graphic design
happy to hear that Holly
6:02 you missed a big one. the map icon is not random, it points down nto a map Norway-sketched in white. Which tells a big part of the story. it's a Norwegian wild salmon.
Great video and easy to watch 😊 one question what does the term “rag” mean? 😊
I also came to the comments looking for the definition of "rag."
I would really want to implement most of the things I learnt from your videos but I don't have a laptop
hopefully you can get one soon
thanks bro
No problem
Please make a video about how to make things look aesthetic.
design your future today ☮ ... dop insp. on my eyes ❤ we love satori from our deepest heart
Thanks bro and all the best
@@SatoriGraphics it means a lot ! Brother ❤️
tnx boss
What do you mean rag to the right?
A year ago and still great advice ❤
Thanks for the feedback, thanks!
Using smart object filters to make a vignette.
Daaamn it. Why didn't I think of that?!
lol.
Lovely👍
Thank you! Cheers man
Looking online I have seen beautiful pictures from fishes, flowers and I am wondering if I can use the colors from those pictures and use it on designing art or applying it on art found in Leonardoai of mid journey?
Hi Satori, i think that the whit background work really well for the first image due to the highlight one the pepper, maybe change the color of the font ?
Contrast of the chilli on a white background does work well, but then the design seems sterile even with a change in font colour. A lot of that is personal opinion on your part and my part. The point was showing how to make the effect
@@SatoriGraphics okay thanks !
What font did you use for the chilli ad?
For design hack 3 I understand align to the left but what do you mean by rag to the right??
5:53 i can only see this salmon as two legs and a target on their vulva
how do you make those kinetic gradient background?
Question for a travel advisor logo, would you go green? Or blue? I noticed that every travel logo has the same theme of blue, airplane, palm trees, and some sort of arrow direction.
I designed one some years ago and it was red. We wanted to make a statement and stand out. Colour theory isn't always set in stone in terms of themes, it can depend a lot on the target audience and the marketing strategy
Would definitely go with red. Yeah!
0:25
But my first thought was exactly the opposite. To not match but complement the chili with some kind of bluish-greenish hue.
I agree, that's actually a valid approach. Both are valid. It depends if you want the entire design to be warm, and if you do then you can use highlight methods behind the chilli. A similar approach was used in the Tobasco advert
I died at "big shubuzzle"
Question: Do you think the skill share logo is a good logo for them?
I think it does the job ok yeah..
What’s a rag??…great video!
I should have explained it a little more in the video. You can Google search 'typography rag' and you should find out.
It all depends on the situation. Just adding a background color with your steps don't always make the images better. Its all based on your opinion.
Nice
RGB mic looks cool 🎤 where can I get one 😅
Amazon :P
HyperX Quad Cast
Ooooh, it's a position icon... I thought it looked like... something else.
I am not able to find the said font "Basement Grotesque" (if I heard it right), can someone please help me out with this, really looking for this amazing font family.

what is a rag in design?
I run a commercial label printing company. 100% of all artwork I recieve is 100% unprintable. Cannot be used on a conventional priting press and almost always on a digital press either. Presented as "press ready" the standard of artwork presented to commercial printing companies has deteriorated to such a point that we look at commercial artwork design studios as sub-standard, web concentrated individuals who's snob-nosed attidude towards the printing industry (where a lot of their work ends up) as priviledged snot rags. Your videos, BTW are brilliant, you need to educate those who produuce stuff for commercial printing - it needs to happen.
I thought the Location icon looked more like Virgina
and the changing light of your mic? ;)
Yeah I have a new MIC now. I still have the other one as well, but rarely use it.
What do you mean by «the rag to the right»? I don’t understand it, especially since I can’t see anything aligned to the right in that example with the instagram post.
I should have explained 'rag' more in the video. Google search 'typography rag' and it will explain everything.
Is there a video like this for thumbnails? 🤔
How you make Photoshop menus transparent??
I am not too sure about that..
basically - LESS IS MORE
It's a good motto to have
graet video
Hey thanks a lot :)
Anyone know where to get photoshop 2023 for free and full version?
"Jiggery-pokery"
🤣🤣
lol always
what is rag?
When do you start to appearing in the videos? Great to se u
I've done it for many years now and again, but these days it's more of a permanent thing
What does “rag” mean??
I should have explained it a little more in the video. You can Google search 'typography rag' and you should find out.
I won't lie. The layer mask in the first example infuriated me.
a layer mask made you angry lol?
@@SatoriGraphics Uh yeahhh. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the tips. Imagine how much improved the design would have been with a proper mask. It's kinda ironic.
@@jamesallred6257 what would be a proper mask?
@@MesGuided The subject wasn't properly isolated from the background and the edges were jagged. Does that help?
Your videos teach me so much can’t tell you how much i loved your videos its really help me, love from India 🇮🇳🫡
turns out I wasn't wondering "what is skillshare"
This is supporting comment!
thanks for your support!
What does "rag" mean?
"rag" refers to the way in which the edges of a block of text align within a column or page. A "ragged" text block has uneven edges, with the lines of text aligning on the left side but not the right. This is in contrast to a "justified" text block, in which the lines of text are aligned on both the left and right sides. A "ragged right" text block has uneven edges on the right side, while a "ragged left" text block has uneven edges on the left side.
@@SatoriGraphics Thank you, man!
As a Norwegian I'm gonna tell you right away.... Fish on pizza isn't a big thing here🤣
I don't know, a map pin is not at all one of the first things I saw with that thicc filet of salmon. Not even close.
Aaannnnd I just noticed the slogan.
can I confess that in that chunk of salmon I saw.... uh.... something else? Maybe I should call her.
I understand everything you are saying but the only word I couldn't understand is: What does "Rag to the right" means? I didn't understand that phrase. Also Google could find the appropriate word in greek for me to understand that phrase. Please don't use difficult english words.
I should have explained it more. Please google search 'typography rag meaning'
Satori please tell me how old are you
34 years
@@SatoriGraphics wow nice you are still young thank you, I thought like you are over 35
It was suspicious when you converted your color fill layer to the smart "filter" (not object) but then you told that the eco bag was made of paper (it wasn't obviously with those handles) and then the SKILLSHARE ADVERTISING started and I realised the reason of that mistakes. Looks like the whole video was made for that integration ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You could lurn all this by watching a color theory video
Am I the only one thinking that salmon ad at 5:52 is just straight up crass? The designer hasn't crafted it to look like a positioning icon. Yes, there's that, but we all know what it's actually crafted to look like. The positioning icon bit is just there for when they're called out on what the ad is really supposed to look like.
