As a musician and engineer of 12 years, I absolutely LOVE all the analogies you made between web design and music composition. I never thought about it like that, just like how music needs soft and loud dynamics to remain interesting, it makes perfect sense the same concept applies visually.

[@juanchojack]

Design is deeply embedded in everything we do and the objects we interact with on the daily.

yup me too!

[@DominicVictoria]

Wow! This is well crafted lesson. I always hear these terms in design but just now that understand their connection to each other instead of separate concepts. Whitespace contrast focal point, multiple focal points can be arranged in a heirarchy. It makes so much sense now.

[@MahirAlsamua]

As a graphic designer, I never had access to this information in school. now I understand the grid logic and dynamics much better thanks to your channel.

[@shachaha]

I just LOVE that short and easy to digest peaces of information videos!

Coming up!

[@ro3843]

The quality of this tutorial is awesome.

[@redkay7969]

as a music producer and web developper all i can say this guy made a good point between both of them by describing the similarity of the design

[@jennysjourney02]

Great refresher and back to basics. I'm working with my first paying client so this is perfect. She needs more than just a website, so I love this applies to other types of design. I learned basic photography a few months ago and apply the rules of thirds to every design. Which I'm still practicing and trying to get better at. I wasn't too confident on how much white space to leave so this helps a lot. I've got a couple designs to fix. Looking forward to the other videos.

[@MattBruntonUK]

Thanks Jenny.

Such a nice explaination. One of the best place to study designing

[@michelleleadley8938]

Very well explained and very useful to know. Thanks.

[@tomimdawodu6808]

Now I personally would like to see the “How To , make a focal point? Where TO place the focal point or best places to place the focal point? How to achieve successful hierarchy and alignment? How to create creative layouts ? How to balance white space? What are some different layouts styles and combinations that are successful? “

[@zeeq7331]

There are plenty of videos for that and usually with practice, you’ll find out for yourself which principles work best.

[@tomimdawodu6808]

@@zeeq7331 oh! lead the way to those videos that answer these questions and more please 😁

[@chidorirasenganz]

I would look into learning grids. Once you learn grids it’s like building with legos

[@bonbonpony]

Wait… you expect actually useful and practial videos on KZbin? Oh foolish you! :J

[@tomimdawodu6808]

@@chidorirasenganz hey okay , I’m game would you mind teaching me somethings about grids ?

[@kebetuagency]

The Pantone website knows what they are doing. The shop Now button is the focal point. They probably noticed a problem that people don’t know they can buy straight from their site. Their designers decided to do something radical. A test of conversion rate optimization may tell them the design is just right.

[@rhionysmael135]

The pantone website design is a headache to a designer. A feeling of an autistic that can't calm down until it's fixed. However, it's just happened that the brand is already famous that's why clients don't care about the design. Also, they don't sell designs, they sell color pallets. Because of it's design, no one would trust them 😅.

Wow, I needed to see that trainwreck of a Pantone website myself, but they changed it. Now they have a "SHOP ALL" button that is not exactly centered and looks slightly different than their other buttons, they have a carousel for four items that SHOWS four items, they have randomly rounded corners or straight corners on their images, they have text as image, random headline styles, wrong line-spacing... They jumped from the frying pan into the fire, it's glorious 😂

Thank you, Matt. I wonder if I can link this video to my clients/stakeholders when they tell me to make things BIGGER.

[@MattBruntonUK]

Sounds a little passive aggressive. 😆

[@integral8420]

Maybe a better idea would be to sell them on the idea by storytelling - that the design needs to breath, that the space gives a feeling of freshness, that amidst all this calmness here approaches the "hero" of the design etc. :) a little humor and storytelling goes a long way

[@radish550]

If everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted. Thank you!

1. Focal Point 2. White Space 3. Hierarchy

[@hasnainmalik8982]

So, what I learn so far, from this video is create a focal point add a bold or sharp heading or title and very small text paragraph limited lines And a lot of white space.

Gotta say that pantone website example as an example of a bad layout was great. You couldn't really navigate and know where to go ; disorientation
