    No matter how long you've been in design or any media arts, it's ALWAYS a good idea to learn and be inspired from others... it's amazing to see what people create! :)

      ABSOLUTELY! I am studying hands and feel and perspective with an artist even though I have been drawing for years. We can ALWAYS learn from others - younger or older - and when we think we can't, then our growth has ended!

    Oh mannn, I was so down with myself about composition in my photographs. It's dull, boring, and more importantly, I don't know why. It feels like when I put the camera to my eye, I am stuck to the rules and I don't know how to break it. The wolve and the elk explanation, I was like Whoa!! this is good stuff. Please do more of this.

    Love this channel man... I have practically learned so much and have had so many questions answered that have been unanswered for so long. Trust me when I say almost every one else out there trying to make videos are just blabbering and basically saying the same thing everyone else is saying and before you know it, you have wasted so much time waiting to hear something you don't already know. Thanks alot and hope to see more "get to the point" and practical videos.

    This content is pure gold. I'd love Matthew to give us some tips on how to direct motion graphics sequences. I'll be more specific: After I'm happy with a shot I've composed, I struggle a bit with figuring out if the next shot should be a close-up, general or mid shot; if it should include some sort of camera movement and such... In my head, I'm thinking of Cinema 4D projects, but this applies to any kind of audiovisual piece, really.

      I agree, there really isn't enough theory of design out there (atleast good stuff like this). It's amazing how something so simple can drastically alter your work for the better. I really do hope you guys make more of these - i was blown away by some of the type layouts your other designer showed in one of the last vids and secretly wished i knew how to make something like that lol.
      It was also pretty cool seeing how this was applied with the xbox ads.

    @TheSupamario11 8 лет назад +3

    Totally spot on thinking type as a shape. I wish I knew it sooner I always thought they were two separate objects but now if i want to match type to logos perfectly I just look at what characteristics the logo has , its line thickness, of it has any curves. Are the strokes rounded or pointed. This all helps to match type. Great video

      Which do you prefer? Print or video as a learning platform?

    • @Uniqleedesigned
      @Uniqleedesigned 8 лет назад +1

      I usually prefer video, but I found both to be very effective. The print version was well organized and contained a ton of info and graphics that helped illustrate the point visually, and the video was well organized, paced and communicated clearly as well. For the subject of teaching a design theory, I found that the print version with graphics and images more effective of getting the point across. For tutorials such as "how to 3D track a camera" or "how to manipulate the curve editor in AE", I definitely prefer video!

      You're welcome! Thanks to you! For now there isn't a specific topic I'm looking for (the videos cover so much already) but one topic I consistently face is what makes "good" or professional graphic design? Good vs poor design? As an intermediate-level designer, I'm still faced with those questions sometimes!
