[@immabeast78]

[@doppel.M]

Damn, didn`t know that metric kerning stuff. Thanks a lot !!

[@sketchbook.05]

No words can express how much gratitude I have for your videos! I too really love typography and you've taught me more about it than I'd ever realized. Most of these tips are something that you have shared before and I can finally say that I can feel all these rules and tips completely etched into my work. Thank you for being a great teacher!

[@ging3r333]

Very helpful, I always wondered why my logos never quite looked professional, kerning might have been the answer!

[@soulfulsatyam]

Literally wanted this one ... Loved it ❤❤

[@paulwillard81]

I feel like that “e” after the K in kerning was still too far away. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Akosah419]

kept bugging me 😆

[@hallowedground4101]

100%. I was sure he would pick it up when he flipped it, but no...

[@lucarapisarda3517]

Maybe he left it there just for us to go nuts about it 😂😂😂

[@bctld]

😂😂😂

[@gangimathar]

Same

[@thewebstylist]

Wow 20 yrs in Photoshop and graphic design etc and never thought of kerning focus until now! I’ll never not consider again sir Will Big Ups!

[@chrismills214]

Great video. Doing some other skill share classes but I’m working my way to your class 👍

[@ariepnuralam5123]

Learning to use the pen tool professionally really has blown my mind! Fantastic video and very well explained Will!

[@alikadirozer6702]

[@shikharchawla1605]

[@mohamedben3983]

[@baraan7351]

WOW that was just amazing. Thanks a lot!

[@SudarminDamir]

[@gibbie0415]

I can make Illustrator do math in the dimension boxes? I don't need to work it out on my calculator first? Mind. Blown.

[@simohammedidrissi6006]

i love it

[@arkaries1386]

Thank you very much Will, this video really helped me. Will you make videos like this again?

[@naomipaterson1097]

🔥🔥🔥

[@tylercommons6479]

Did anyone else see the word tomato when he pulled up the shapes?

[@joe2grand]

surely the gap between K and e in Kerning needs kerning ?

[@abkartsdesign9082]

Bro tho 💥 boom sound is very high it's scared me while listening 🎧 this video.

[@newgamers8028]

which software have you used at 14 min? for calculating font

[@F5_cena]

👍

[@edwardhighlander9799]

I understand what everyone is trying to say, but the first version of the circles and triangles didn't look smaller than the squares! and when you resized them, they were very clearly larger than the squares. Yes the theory is true, but the example given is not very successful

[@hallowedground4101]

It's funny how how your tip headings have way too much leading. When you go all caps, squeeze up that leading.

[@kevynlevine]

No hat.

[@expectationlost]

titles are beyond silly

[@elianalia1082]

The Kerning is not Kerning 😂
