This could be a great Master Class

[@barituned]

Precisely

[@greggrobinson5116]

As a typical romantic teen I got way into Heraldry, and that interest is spilling over into vexillology. I wasn't much of a designer, but I loved the rules and the blazoning. And I loved pointing out to the class bully that the little emblem with bend sinister on his shirt marked him as a literal bastard.

First! Haha!
I'm writing this down here as my non school homework ;)

[@jimnicholas7334]

The information and overall pacing of the video is good! I think you just have to work on the finer points of editing. For example, I heard several clicks of your mouse throughout the video, particularly when you transitioned between visual aids.

[@flagmakerprint]

Thanks Jim! I actually decided to keep those clicks in as they reinforce the feeling of an online class, I thought they were a nice touch. I may replace them with another sound effect later

[@ruusteriv]

@@flagmakerprint I actually kinda liked them

[@phantomlordmxvi]

This looks very interesting!

[@malikalouri9407]

[@brtrains7386]

thanks for making the website i love it

[@cookiefaceyt2002]

How do I use the Flagmaker and Print?

[@nainaingsoe-ng6td]

🙏

[@generichuman8224]

honestly I didn't much of the symbolism behind flags but now I know thx for the lesson

[@justzeny1475]

I hope you guys add the Us states and previous flags dated years ago

[@andreasm5770]

Great video! Thank you so much. (Small correction: I'm pretty sure the clip you showed was Orthodox Judaism instead of Orthodox Christianity. )

[@maggo9494]

Isnt it weird that there is only one flag in existence that has the proportions of 1.618 (Fibonacci Golden Ratio). Considering the common ratios of 2:3 (1,5) or 1:2 (1,5), wouldnt it make sense to design a flag with the proportions that are known to be astethically pleasing troughout the nature?

[@heineschAKN]

Second, haha!
Also top-tier video there.

[@flagmakerprint]

Thanks!

[@leonzhang7821]

Hi. On your flagmaker, it doesn't seem to have an adjustable ratio. Am I missing something or is it just not possible to change ratios?

[@PegglemafiaSquared]

If you download the image with (jpeg space) inbetween then you will be able to put it online with out it showing

[@erikpalmqvist1991]

Is there a way to change aspect ratio?

[@eletro_godzilla]

Will you make one for android and ios

[@tridos2574]

When will the mobile version launch?

[@christophertaylor2784]

Saltire popular examples are Scotland and WALES?!?!🤔
Do you not mean the Saltire of St. Patrick of Ireland?

[@justzeny1475]

Where is a USA state all 50 of them in a update

[@sglenny001]

Third! Haha!
"Insert witty comment here"

[@mahyarqezelly5781]

I always like to design historical flags from photos, paintings, descriptions and documents. recently I found the flags of Persia in a French book belongs to 1858, the books gives me proportions of the flags. please give your email adress send them to you these flags, I want your opinions about these flags.
ty so much for this video.
