[@CandiceGoddard]

You must be very young then. Before computers became cheap so everyone could afford one for casual use, people used to use fonts in the right context because computers weren't toys like they are now. Comic sans only got raped to death after people started seeing it as a font that was easy to read for dyslexic people rather than as the name implies for use in comics or for children's stuff. The fonts never actually looked bad, it was just fashionable to whinge about them being inappropriate or overused. Clearly they look good, that's why people overuse them.

[@cerebrummaximus3762]

I love the one at 13:43, because he gave actual advice. He explained how a product should stand out, but the three fonts he used are commonly used and are also meme fonts and would catch less attention. He gave criticisms and tips and how to fix them. He advised the on the last one he should add "weathering" to the font to make it look more ranch-like, and that is absolutely ingenious! Usually you should be careful upon adding texture and stuff to the titles, as they should stand out, but in that specific one, cowboy-esque weathering would have given great effect and would have looked so cool and made it look very professional!

[@insertcleverjoke8383]

It's so obvious that these took an insane amount of work and it's a bit of a shame that people were so blindly critical of the fonts.

I think Papyrus really doesn't look that great in this context. (It does look good as the Avatar title tho, imo). Maybe it's just because it's a bit too thin/fine. The Comic Sans example looks great tho. The strongest "objective" argument against Comic Sans in all contexts that I've heard is that it has pretty crappy kerning. Him manually arranging the letters sidesteps that. Also, Impact does exactly what's on the tin.

The Long Horn one is so over the top, I love it. "Extra Caffeine" is hilarious, but it also makes the branding make more sense.

[@Squish_Squash]

I feel that the fonts really work for the designs because you used the designs of the fonts themselves to your advantage, like using comic sans, a popular font for comics, in a design the aesthetically matches a comic book feel; that's one of the reasons I think the fonts were shunted in the first place, people started using them everywhere despite it clashing, and stopped working with the fonts altogether

This is the first video I've seen from you, but WOW!! I love how you include the viewer in every step of the process, it really helps me understand your choices behind certain elements and I'm definitely gonna have to try using more bounce light. My favorite has got to be the long horn, it's absolutely gorgeous!

@@honeydays i don't know why people hate it

[@DarrinCalvinRoenfanz]

@@honeydays The problem lies primarily because it's a default "playful" font, lots of people, mostly in office environments, would use it when posting some sort of office policy as if it magically toned down the message. Basically it got used for everything except for it's intended purpose.

I absolutely love your design content! Even though you don't upload as frequently as some other KZbinrs, the quality of your videos is unmatched. Every time you post a new video, I know it's going to be worth the wait. Keep up the amazing work!

[@BrandonShep]

I'm working on getting a more regular upload schedule! Once every 2 weeks is about my max right now, while I create my design courses. Once the channel gets bigger, I'd like to hire an editor to help out, which would really allow me to make more regular content :)

[@MrFoxInc]

Thank you for this video. Didn't really know what to expect, but it got me real nostalgic! When I was just starting out as a graphic designer, learning at an ad agency, I used to make mock-ups like these in my spare time too, because the challenge (combined with the absence of a client's pointless requests) was just so much dang fun. As I got more professional and had less time on my hands (and grew more and more burnt out on client work), I eventually stopped altogether - and completely forgot about it until this video! Seeing you create these packaging designs took me back to that time, and how much fun I had. And it's amazing how you turned these fonts around, too! I hope a lot of young artists see this and realize that the fun and challenge is not always in using amazing assets that already look great, but to take something barebones and mix it up to fit the need of the design goal. Both the Blast-logo and the Long-Horn-logo blew me away when it slowly became apparent what they would become! The Seadog-logo is great too and I think you could have even taken it a step further (like using drop caps and slightly changing up the sizes and baselines for each character to create a more organic, handwritten feel). That's what I also like about the video: It's not destructive ("this font sucks!!"), it's _productive_ ("let's see what we can make with this!"). The comic-sans-bad-meme is such a superficial take, especially by people outside of design. Yes, a font with nothing else to it, no adjustment for kerning etc. can look pretty boring and stupid. Comic Sans is objectively just not a universally "bad" font. The point is that you have to do something with it! So yeah, thanks for this video! Looking forward to more!!

“And now to bring Captain Seadog to life, we’re gonna start out with a skull.” “And now to metaphorically give the one known as Seadog life, we will start with the representation of death.” Lol! I LOVE this artwork!

[@strawberryhopes2937]

I wonder how did the reditors look at these professional looking designs and thought that the designer doesn't know there is other fonts that aren't the 3 most hated ones (imo the fonts aren't even that bad, maybe overused but not bad ). My favorite design was the one with the impact font, I don't drink beer but I might reconsider it after seeing that can in a store haha

Haha that was my exact same thought!

[@Otacanthus]

These were so cool, seadog was my favourite, it was really fun to see you making the composition then just sketching it out to make it look so cool

[@SuperiorBeing]

people are able to find something bad in everything, but their definition of a good design is "don't use what people think is bad, they can't be saved." what is good and bad is up to whoever sees it. in my eyes, these are the best things I've ever seen, and i would never notice they use any of the three fonts, and i wouldn't care either. all that matters is if it's good, and has actual work put into it, and all three fonts fit the design perfectly

[@chair.k]

Woah! you actually made me realize how much effort company's actually put into there logos/designs its really cool how your passing of designing can bring entertainment to others and even want them too make a design themselves!

I hate Comic Sans as much as the next person, but I REALLY like the vibe you went with for it. It actually makes it work really well, and that's one of those products that, if I saw it on a store shelf, I'd be more drawn to it than any of the other choices. Really just an amazing job with that one.

wow, genuinely shocking results honestly! I get the impact and especially papyrus, as you didnt do as much to alter those. but im really surprised the comic sans ended up being recognizable enough to get called out! I was honestly worried you had altered it so much with the overlap and coloring that no one would recognize it. Guess that just goes to show how far disconnected from the design space i am lol

[@BttlBlastR]

if the comic sans design was sold in a convenience store or a gas station i would genuinely buy it

[@JomaXZ]

When I studied graphic design, I made it a point to use comic sans wherever I could get away with it in a joking manner (on my presentations and faking my in progress pictures to make it look like I'd actually used it during that part). I wish I had the skills to make them actually work like you managed to.

I’m no graphic designer, hell I think I’d be downright terrible at it, there’s not a chance, no matter how deep you are into graphic designing that you’re this pressed over what font someone uses. Some fonts look better than others sure, but these are 3 separate badass designs, even with the most hated fonts of all time. Anyway, 12/10 designs, if I saw these on the shelf I’d buy all of them, especially Blast.

Fun fact: In the hit game undertale that we all know and love, the comic sans font is used in Sans’s dialogue, while the papyrus font is used for welp- Papyrus.

[@RAndrewNeal]

I was wondering how you were going to make Papyrus look good, and you did it. It's all about knowing when to use what for the aesthetic goal. They all look great, especially the one with Comic Sans. I actually like Impact, though; it's so versatile. But that's probably the reason it's so overused; which, in turn, is the reason I wouldn't use it myself.
