[@JesseNyberg]

This is a long one but I tried to pack as much value as possible for y'all hope you enjoy it!

[@abel3244]

Thank you so much Jesse!

[@pilotgfx]

amazing content! only critique is you do this annoying pronounciacion that all young americans do where you have to pulll out the last syllable to extreme length. bodoniiiii, garamooooond, styyyyyle, which makes you come across as slightly too american (no offense intended!) thanks for the video.

[@mackgorman5659]

Thank you mate, really appreciate this type of content

[@ItsMeTheMoon]

[@nessa3840]

One niche you didn't touch on that I kind of stumbled into is book cover design. It's similar to album art, often utilizing illustration and photo manipulation. But you also have to play with typography for the title and blurb on the back and even typeface design if a series is looking for something unique.

[@TehGoRy]

and so editorial design, data visualization, etc...

[@ksenianarodovska1731]

I would also add Film designers like Ann Atkins. They recreate a lot of period design and make many different stuff from posters to lettering, newspapers and some other props. So it’s a mix of poster design, datavis, typography, lettering, packaging etc.. Oh and also Packaging designers.

[@iamabeets]

I’m pretty sure he said that this list isn’t all the niches.

[@flodging]

as a designer, it’s kind of hard to pick a specific niche to follow through with. it’s also good to know that you have unlimited options to choose from, and that you can master each style if you choose too. it’s a fun world to be in. the world needs designers. go for what best fits you, and showcase that talent to masses!

[@mika-mika153]

Do you think the world still needs designers even after the AI taking control over the world?

[@rankings727]

@@mika-mika153I hope so, or else I’m cooked 😔

[@MozwGamer]

When I was 15, I used to make music covers and logos for my dj/artists friends, and I just suddenly stopped doing it, now I'm 23 going basically back to everything I wanted to really do. This video is awesome because now, I struggle with the decision.

[@shaheen4765]

Shit same...ig its just how life gose

[@BenedictAllen_]

The amount of value you provided in this video is actually insane. Thank you so much, I'm sure that this took an insane amount of time to compile so know that your work is greatly appreciated!

[@JesseNyberg]

Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the love!

[@kujokev]

This was probably the biggest challenge that I just now got over recently. I’ve been doing graphic design for about the same amount of time, but I’ve found that typography and visual work give me the most fulfilling projects. PS you inspired me to start a newsletter myself. Keep up the great work Jesse

[@JesseNyberg]

Goodluck on your journey and I'm happy you started a newsletter!

[@daphne_ortiz]

I am one semester away from getting an AA in graphic design. It took me some time to decide what I even wanted to do but once I decided I knew there would be opportunity for me anywhere I went. I really didn’t know much more than “I want to study graphic design” so this is very helpful and puts me in the perspective of what is to come and the opportunities I can act on, thank you!

[@biancaa.252]

As someone who's going the self taught route, this list was really helpful! I had a basic idea of what I wanted to do in design but this breaks it down further. Thank you! ❤

[@Retrospectyt]

Never seen a well rounded video around a subject like this one, my boy dropped a video with everything you need to know about visual design. well done

[@terrijdavis1953]

I discovered how much I enjoyed creating graphics design during the pandemic and it truly has become a passion. Thank you very much for this video!🎉

[@Dantesdivinedesign]

I’ve just learned I really like motion design so I’m about to deep dive from now on!

[@3nyx]

Can’t believe how much resources was shared, this is what parents mean when they say we’re blessed to have access to the internet. Thank you

[@BlazinStar5]

Woooow this is so good! I wish this video was available when i first got into college to study graphic design, it would’ve given me so much clarity way back then. However, recently, after much experimenting, I decided that i want to pursue motion design :) Keep it up Jess! I appreciate you putting out such inspirational content!

[@edgykatrina]

omg thank you for featuring me 🤠 honored to be part of this

[@JesseNyberg]

Of Course!

[@MilliMoons]

I just followed and bookmarked so many new designers, thank you for this video! I'd love to see more about editorial design i.e. books/magazines/publishing industry if you ever get a chance to do something similar on that! editing to add that Abi Connick was one of my biggest inspirations too when starting out as a designer

[@riteshkamra5074]

I recently discovered Abi and I agree, her work is just..wow!

[@joangrant5248]

I find your videos useful as a would-be client. I imagine that if clients don’t understand how much thought goes into design, they won’t value your work correctly. Getting well informed clients who will pay properly for work seems key.

[@pinkbalem]

yo wtf! this is incredibly valuable man, it Also made me want to create stuff right now so it even worked as motivation. new sub and thank you for this content, looking forward to more inspo and designers shout-outs from you! cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@andreprotti6275]

my boy dropped a complete class!! Dope content!

[@nonshole]

Wow, this is one of the most value packed videos I've ever saw on the internet! Thanks man, it's awsome!

[@morganneborowczyk]

Thank you so much for the mention Jesse!! I loved watching this, so many cool people to check out

[@JesseNyberg]

Of course, your work is awesome Morganne!

[@anonymous4yah]

I'm unsure if it was this video or another, but your video helped me get my first internship! Thanks!

[@listoparacristo777]

I just watch your video I have been out of the loop for 13 years I was a full time caregiver for my parents. I want to get back into this because this is still my passion however a lot has changed in 13 years haha. Thanks for the information.

[@UncleCatfish]

As a musician, I can guarantee you that we always need album art, cover art for singles / EPs etc.

[@saadkhanmalik]

Thankyou for the list. Love the fact that you've added a short personal take one each and every item.

[@Lilly-ki6gh]

thank you so much for this, i just stumbled onto your page a few days ago and i can already tell im gonna learn sooo much from you!

[@ajstudios9210]

This is probably the longest shout out video I've ever seen.😅 But seriously, thank you for this. As a designer, it sometimes is tough to design what direction I should go to based on what options I'm leaning towards and finding inspiration. This was really helpful.😊👍

[@TravisTraps]

Didn't see one of favorites, and one the most profitable, information and data designer.

[@1MisterB]

I liked this video a lot. for itemized content like this may I request the inclusion of segments on the videos as a viewer/user? easily searchable content for usability helps a lot. It is also prime content to reference, Good stuff!

[@bvsdriver]

I could absolutely rock creating album covers. Will have to look into that

[@B.lows_n_highs.j]

As a begginer- this is sososo helpful THANK U!

[@leonelsalazar2354]

Photography or photo manipulation could be another niches?? Btw, 3d also includes low poly and voxel art niches

[@rozzztik]

It's the best design channel I've seen, very informative, and not a second is wasted, I'll keep following, you helped rekindle my passion for design!

[@xiiixviiiw]

You sum it up thoroughly ! I personally think that the punk DIY style is the most stylish and the most non-fake, artistic form of art that will endure all these emerging styles ! I might be wrong, but that's just my opinion! thank you always for the value you always bring to us !

[@akshaytaksande4]

soo informative and helpful for aspirant designer like me, Thank you jesse !

[@SatoriStudios_]

SO much good resources in this video for any type of designer, thanks, Jesse.

[@nyme2349]

I'm starting at this world, I'll proabably go with UX UI design but I like logo design and brand identity too. This video helps a lot, thanks!

[@ajg8017]

This video has an incredible amount of detail and value in it, good stuff man

[@TsfAbr]

list of Recourses is goldd! Thank you so much! Gonna follow them all from my niche and interested niche. 🙌❤

[@tsh722]

My dad was a graphic designer and did just about anything design and art could be on. He was old school when everything was drawn by hand and pasteups and mechanicals in the 1970's through 1990's. You left out a very important group of designers in design history that if you want to be a good designer they should be looked at. I'm kind of disappointed you did not cover them because most of today's design is a return to what they were doing in the 1960's through 1980's. Look at Alexander Girard, Paul Rand, Art Chantry, Milton Glaser, Mike Salisbury, John Van Hamersveld, Raymond Loewy and Chip Kidd. They set the bar and are still very relevant. You have got to know this work if you are doing graphic design.

[@rockinpatty346]

Great video as always!!! Thank you for the hard work!

[@goddammitmatt4349]

Thanks for making this video. I'm going to school for graphic design and people keep asking me what I want to do and I keep saying I don't know yet. Thanks for showing me so many options.

[@ddankkerr]

this video hold so much value i can't even express

[@springrolljacky]

This is crazy, I was researching on which path of design I should pursue since I'm finishing up school next month. This video helps give more clarity. Great video 👍👍👍

[@WestCoastSean]

Great video, Jesse! There's a lot of super useful info here for a beginner designer like myself. :)

[@aultraatx]

This is such a useful and informative video. Thank you for this

[@samraduns7756]

Solid and necessary video. I’ve specialized in Risoggraphic Print Design.

[@mariaclaier]

Great video, great collection of resources. Thank you!

[@DannyPacheco-j6f]

Its like you have one family general doctor who knows a little bit about the whole body but if need be will recommends you to more specialists doctors like heart, bones, head, feet, nose, eyes etc..

[@nirajsuryawanshi9113]

Thanks for this video. Gave me clarity for what I have to focus on.

[@viero313]

AMAAAAZING video Jesse!

[@juanlaker]

Great resource Jesse!! Awesome video it offered a great insight into the worlds of design

[@tilius.xyz_]

Thanks for introducing these... I think schools could give a bit more of an overview like this to students cause essentially everyone starts with a career in graphic design, and often I saw ppl get stuck in only doing graphic design, while like me personally found myself feeling a lot more intuitive in motion design. In the end graphic design does give a needed foundation to practice any of these nieches, so go do the hard work even tho you might not end up working so much with the core editorial/image base graphic design.

[@JacobZiggy]

This is such an incredible resource. Thank you!

[@C13los]

love the video, easy; new subscriber. The depth with each niche gives this video so much value. Thank you so much!

Would love a video with recommendations of design books for people who just like looking at the pictures like a coffee book table🥺

[@jamespatin11]

Loved this video Jesse! I wish you talked about athletics or sports though. Maybe a part 2?

[@JesseNyberg]

there might be room for a part 2!

[@aromick]

Just listening to this and it's a good as an overview of design and designers

[@reanstwarrt5115]

Hey man, super helpful video I learned a lot from it :), as a tip , I would say have some sort of lower third for the names of the sources you listed, I think me and many more of your viewers would find it very useful

[@melatonin3000]

Another great video. As a baby designer, this is super useful content.

[@xtradelite903]

I haven't seen the video, yet. But, what about: newsweeklys, newspapers, email/print newsletters, KZbin thumb pics, and book covers. Also, when I used to work for a newsweekly, they used the software Quark Express. Is this still used in the industry?

[@isis.eetherr]

Thank you!

[@3nyx]

I have no idea how I got here but this was a great video ❤

[@brusselseastside3546]

What’s the difference between in house and studio and how do you go about applying for them

Thanks a bunch, Jess.

[@ReggaeShark-rd7vf]

Hello Jesse! i am 15 and going to college to pursue graphics next year! i wanted to know what you think would be best for someone who is better at photography and editing as opposed to drawing but can draw if necessary? im thinking maybe posters, music or album covers but i am still not 100% sure.
