    In regards to watching films or shows and taking down the colors you see. You may find it easier to screen shot the film and go to adobe color. There you can upload the screenshot and the software will generate the color palate automatically. Nice video Thank you

    • @4TheCreatives
      @4TheCreatives  Год назад +1

      Totally! But I like to do things old school. I think it’s important to not rely on software when you’re learning to make sure you really get all the concepts first.

    Great video! I'm beginning to learn Graphic Design in my free time (which there isn't much of lol). I'm going to put my sketchbook to use and begin doing some of these exercises. Are there any other resources you know of or videos you have that I should watch in terms of training my eye/brain to understand art better, before I start buying the Adobe programs? Thanks!

    • @4TheCreatives
      @4TheCreatives  2 года назад +1

      Great to hear you will use these exercises and that you are learning design! Here is a short video I made a while back that shows the basics of design in a very concise way: ruclips.net/video/ZhTNQFWc_qg/видео.html
      Here is a video about common design mistakes: ruclips.net/video/0cOrkt4tUGE/видео.html

    • @4TheCreatives

      My recommendation is to just start observing objects and really look at each part and without looking at the paper draw the outline. It helps to improve your observation skills. Here is also a tutorial I found: ruclips.net/video/cTO3F-G0ga8/видео.html&ab_channel=DrawAwesome

      Illustrator is very useful regardless of if you become a logo designer or not.

    Hi Lauren, I have a very simple question: Can we become successful designers without learning logo designing? The reason I ask is that I don't have any interest in creating logos.

      Yes absolutely! Logo design is an advanced skill. It’s not a necessary one.
