BASIC WEB DESIGN SOFTWARE: Free Web Design Course | Episode 2

[@NandoDevlop]

*Softwares for WebDesign* Image editing: *Adobe Photoshop* Vector editing: *Adobe Ilustrator* Screen design: *Adobe XD* ( he's probably a fan of Adobe lol) It's the beginning of the course yet but I've learned a lot, thanks for this course.

i trust Ran so much, that i started to question myself when he said rectangle to the circle...

Hi I want to learn web design more I can work as a VA for you 🤗

[@hanmandluhanmandlu7830]

Hi

[@hanmandluhanmandlu7830]

I want become a web designer

[@hanmandluhanmandlu7830]

What Can I do for this

[@joshuachristinajames4687]

I am just starting to look into web design. In just this video alone, I learned so much and have a better understanding on the differences between the programs and the benefits of using them. Thank you so much for making these videos, I look forward to watching and learning more!

[@kookDarling]

do you use free software??

[@uglyigor3055]

haven't been this excited to learn a new skill in years. Thanks so much for doing this series man. It makes a lot of fun to listen to you!

[@ashmitpahal]

Have you achieved anything bro?

[@RMSAnalyst]

A substitute for Photoshop: Affinity Photo A substitute for Illustrator: Affinity Designer From the makers of Serif for macOS & Windows. No subscription & very reasonably priced. No affiliate connection with Affinity. I just bought them because I can’t afford Adobe. Ran. Thank you for this course. Shalom from Netanya.

[@revoltmahesh]

No subscription life time ?

[@RMSAnalyst]

@@revoltmahesh No subscription. Major update eg 1 to 2 will presumably be a charge, but the program is yours for life.

[@Daidera91]

Suggestion: you could make a series of videos where you analyze viewer submitted web designs (preferably from people that are still early in their design journey) and point out how these could be improved. I am a programmer myself and try to get into UI / UX design because I want to work on my own commercial software. While there are a lot of online learning resources available, I struggle to receive feedback from professionals for my designs. I just don't know any professional designers at the moment since my background is mainly in IT. Also, most of the examples I see on the web (e.g. on dribble) are way above my own level and it is difficult to learn from the feedback that those designers receive on these platforms.

[@icarussun3336]

This is a great idea, its been a while but have you encountered any other channels that does this?

[@vishsingh7235]

CodingPhase, DesignCourse and RealToughCandy do this. You can submit your website/design to them and they will critique them in a video. I don't know the frequency that each does it though.

[@grim789]

I really hope he eventually does this.

[@fgcbird]

This is such an incredible resource. I am a developer but I want to freelance so I am trying to learn every skill I can, and this is really the only useful full course in web design I can find on youtube. Thank you so much

[@hersheynaik3029]

Hey. How is your freelancing career?

Welcome aboard!

[@ChavaSzpilman]

i watched half the video...then my boyfriend came and started teaching me how to use photopea. i just finished watching this video and realized that he taught me what the rest of the video and in even more detail!😂😍

[@fangbifxx]

I never use Illustrator but start using Affinity Designer and like it so much! Highly recommended for a budget newbie one time payment 😁

[@anetthorvath8315]

Same here! Though I have never tried the adobe products, affinity seems very professional for me and easy to use/learn.

[@jayaverma3088]

I am really starting to love this course the way that he is explaining things is not quite consistent or sequential but it's easy to understand if you are aware of certain terms in designing, Thank you for the course👏

[@luyolompembela175]

I'm getting even more interested with web design skill, the way you illustrate it, makes it very interesting and the fact that you paid for it but willing to give it away for free that's generosity Man

[@nikkigilpatrick7482]

Illustrator and Photoshop are must-haves, but I haven't played around with Xd yet so I'm excited to see how to use it and build better webpages!

[@SayedSudip]

We couldn't see the layers from 13:20, because there was the image of you in the circle. And yes, loving it. I hope to get a clear career path to be a UI/UX designer from the basic. Thanks a lot for your contribution, Sir.

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks for feedback!

[@williamkhomkoang6540]

I was struggling with web design and how to learn it to become self-expertise. Luckily today I came across your website and I found it exciting lesson on KZbin that is very helpful to me. I appreciate the knowledge and skills that have been shared and demonstrated to us. Thank you so much.

I am learning web-design by watching youtube videos and usually I have a lot of questions after watching a video, but here I have all my questions answered! Thank you so much!

[@calderon8757]

I recommend affinity designer and photo to anyone who doesnt want to pay monthly for adobe software. I've been super happy with them!

• As I amateur advertiser, I can suggest WASK. In my opinion, the designer is the best part of it. I can design my ad images and use them for my Facebook ads. Honestly, it is not the best design platform but I like to not pay for creating ad images. I can both design and publish from one single channel.

[@GilbertFlores956]

Wow! Your tutorials are amazing!! Good job, bud! Can't wait to dive into all your videos!

Thanks Ran, it's good to keep in mind those basic principles from the beginning. I'd like to hear about design systems. You know, when we could use Material Design or Human Interface Guidelines

Great video, really enjoy your course! One small mistake: Bitmap is not the same thing as Raster Image. A bitmap is basically a raster image that has only 1 color instead of greyscale. :)

[@alanthomasgramont]

More often now products are built using Maya or Blender. In that way, they can be positioned an endless amount of times with an endless number of backgrounds and lighting (HDRs etc.) Building a 3D model is time consuming, but once its done, you're even able to allow clients to view the product in their home, etc. Its extremely powerful.

Hi Ran.Just got a question for you. How important is our logo design skills as a web designer? Hand lettering logotype is a very specific skills which need years of practice.

[@kingpotato7183]

nobody does hand lettering anymore people just use fonts and manipulate them, also if you want to learn hand lettering it'll only take you 2 weeks of total focus and following a course. it doesn't take that long to become so good at it to impress the layman

For the future episodes: if we hit the point when we start programming our design, it would be nice if u explain how to setup a starter-kit for our projects. (github, using the terminal, nodeJs, npm, gulp, compilers, etc...) this will help for sure to understand the way of an modern workflow.

Could you do a video explaining the difference between a web designer and a web developer, and what skill sets are needed for both. I don’t know if now they have been meshed together like if your a designer you have skills as a developer as well. I always thought web developer was a high end programmer knowing back end development like php and other back end programs, but don’t know if HTML and CSS fall under that now. Most jobs I have been searching look for a web designer with programming including HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. I’ve been using udemy tutorials but still a little confused with the difference between designer and developer. It be nice to see a video that could clarify this. I enjoy all your videos thanks.

Hey, nice video. When you create those layers and text over images etc, should I export the image with all this things done to use on the web or do it with css and html?

You can do either but I’d prefer to use CSS to Crete the styles so it doesn’t become pixelated.
