Amateur / Pro / Master: Graphic Design (Shocking Differences)

What separates an amateur, a pro, and a master graphic designer? Wel today we find out what makes an amateur design, a pro design, and a master graphic designer, when concerning 4 different and interesting categories. This video will help you become a better graphic designer, while also learning something about how master and pro designers approach a design situation.
We look at how a master or an amateur graphic designer might think about white space, also then personality on a graphic design, consistency, and then simplification. I use real graphic design examples to illustrate the point about how a design can look and feel very different, simply by changing a few things or thinking in a certain way as a graphic designer. If you do in fact understand the principles taught in todays video, you will surely feel more confident as a designer, and make better artwork that's not only functional, but looks great too!

Think of this more of how designs can be improved, rather than strict labels of 'pro' 'amateur' and 'master'.

As a graphicdesiger student I can say everything said here is absolutely true! Even When you study graphic design they don't show you exactly how you can be a master, the show you and learn you all the rules of design and everything of knowledge about graphic design, but you (I) have to become masters by yourself. Its up to you if you want to be a master & for me its actually very easy to understand so just want to tell you with knowledge and by yourself mastery is very easy. Just give your best for everyone project and put your self in clients business and see their view. Imagine you are them and do the best work like you would do ut for yourself. Never give clients a project where you are not happy with 100%. Make sure its your best!

[@glormond]

For me, the first example with orange website header is just WOW! I watched and clearly understood what you were trying to explain. But then I suddenly caught myself thinking that this example (unintentionally, subconsciously) may force me to think this way: "Always put an image on the left side, because you have seen a master example!". I'm not sure how to avoid such way of thinking.

[@casdragon_5939]

In this case, if you look at the amateur and pro examples, the image itself makes the navigation bar a bit harder to read (or it did for me). So, I would've moved the image over anyway just to fix that. It also depends on the picture and if that's the first thing you want people to see. The idea was for a drink company, so there would be a logo or label on the bottle. So that's what I would want people to see first (what they were buying). This was the same thing with the chicken ads. If the image wasn't trying to sell something, I'd go with the copy first. Of course, this is all super dependent on the project.

[@thiennguyenminh9052]

can you tell my what is name of your fonts use in the video? Thanks a lot!

[@surinfarmwest6645]

Nice one Tom, I have 3 colours, or should I say tones, throughout my website and as much "space" as possible. Reason being I'm a lazy bastard who likes to have minimal css so all my colours are var() ;-)

[@denzeldevereux1619]

whats the name of that ending track, its fire

[@user-pf4ed5gp6s]

All I can see with some of these graphics is low contrast on some text. That what I can see from an "amateur designer" from an experienced one. If you can't read the copy, is the viewer understanding what the graphic is trying to communicate?

[@7moodnasser]

Hi, what is the best way to get in touch with you?!

[@gihnih]

how to code that design?

[@CyanCooper]

I've noticed that each of your videos go through a wide range of colors/layouts/imagery/etc. Chris Do's channel does the same thing, displaying little perceptible consistency between motion graphics in different videos. As someone who designs motion graphics for KZbin channels I've always found it an interesting choice. Any chance you'd be willing to share your reasons for going that route?

[@SatoriGraphics]

sure.. I don't design the motion graphics in my videos. I wouldn't possibly have time to do such a thing, alongside every other aspect of KZbin content creation, being a designer, a crypto/stock trader, and the few other things that I do.

[@Cod3zP]

It's great that new designers are learning graphic design from you, but some of these interfaces have different target audiences, different purposes, different user experience research. And most UI mockups from Dribbble have poor UX.

[@schweizerjoenzsevero4716]

Hey men. PLEASE HELP. I have a question. How do you deal with clients that are persistent on cluttering your design? Like for example, one of my client said, she wanted all the spaces to be filled in coz it's a waste on printing if I don't put anything on the spaces. She also wanted the text to be bigger. She wanted multiple font faces. And she also gave me purple and grey color. In my mind, that's a total disaster of a design she wanted me to do. As a designer for 4yrs, I can't really do what she wanted coz it will ruin my identity and I hated being directed on my design. But most of my clients are "directors" who wanted me to just do as I told even if the results are totally crap. So what should I do or what should I tell them?

[@SatoriGraphics]

I have a video on this, but in short, it isn't always a good idea to convince them. If they are stubborn to the max then just go with their idea and get paid. However you can try and make your design, put it side by side with their idea, and explain why yours is better. Here are 2 videos that you may find interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onTdiKqia5qqbKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJKygZZ8etOfba8

[@dr.zahidpintuakond4869]

What about design process like double diamond or research, brand guide, grid, design principles etc.? I am never shooting blind, I cannot design without any concept. When you know how to.use grid and design principles like balance and contrast or typographical hierarchy final design will be fine. I also think, that the Hen a egg DHL layout was part of marketing campaign, there is more that one designer involved, but whole marketing team.

[@angrypoppins]

The thing is quite often times u'll be required to provide what is called "amateur design" by clients even if u r already at pro or master level. The theory in the video is rather spoken in designers words not the business standard. So u also need to learn how to convince ur clients to go more professional direction as well as trying to get closer to master level as a designer.

[@SatoriGraphics]

Depends what tier of clients you attract

[@angrypoppins]

@@SatoriGraphics True indeed. My most recent client and I have just fired each other all due to the issue I mentioned in the comment so I'm right now quite nervous on this... Thx alot for reacting anyway. Love ur works. Cheers all the way from Tokyo!

I'm just knowing this, so there's one greater than the pro. I think the pro designer is just an intermediate designer🤔🤔

yeah that's basically it. These categories are not rigid, it's more of a way to explain how designs can be better and better
