Every element of these videos are so well done! As a designer, this makes me want to share this with the people I work closely with that don't have the designer role, so they can get a better understanding of the work I do, the attention to detail I give, and why it all matters. Great work, and thank you!

[@zeetutors8795]

This is wonderful, please keep it up, future graphic designer like me will forever appreciate.

[@shahadkhan1]

Agreed.

[@estherrai_art]

Yes, please :)

[@drawingmad4675]

Yes.... me too ....

[@harishsingh4489]

mee 2

[@iamerca8461]

me too :D

[@magnustips]

This series should be mandatory everywhere!

[@lalilukauka]

I am a Graphic Designer and somehow came across your videos. Your team does SUCH A GREAT JOB ON THEM!!!! Well done! I can't stop watching!!! 😁

[@Lyw1234567890]

God, I wish I could show this to the thousands of people I come across who resize smaller images or use extremely low quality images for their graphics because it's so annoying to see a perfectly good design ruined by a bad image smh

[@HowTosWithSaniya]

You should make a series of videos on video editing, film making etc. Loved the vids! :)

[@Shumyle72]

I'd like to compliment your videos on their simplicity and aesthetically pleasing visuals that ooze the brilliant application of colour, layout and typography that you guys talk about in the videos. Everything from the narration down to the subtlest animation makes your videos the best videos for beginners I've ever seen :)

[@iamerca8461]

i wish i can edit like this, its so calmy in my eyes

[@alipheric]

I dont need these but I actually ended up watching 4,5 videos from this channel because it's so calming and soothing .

[@kevinbroadwater9428]

With just the four videos they displayed at the end of the video I already learned so much.

[@GCFLearnFree]

Great to hear!

[@bigfoot131]

When was the last time or ever have u stumbled on something this simple and precise that ur brain comfortably consume.😃

[@sahupriya388]

Best channel ever got in KZbin 😃

[@dovonic13]

one thing id like to add is to check the the dpi (right click on image and and click "properties") a dpi of 96 is perfect for the screen and a dpi of 300 is NECESSARY for proper printing

[@liliantee_]

Just found the best design tutor channel. Feeling inspired and motivated after watching all 4 videos. You guys make complicated stuffs so much more easier to understand! Love u guys!!! THANK YOUUUU!

[@sasshisu]

I've watched all your videos on graphic design and I really appreciate the way you've made each one. They're informative in a way that makes graphic design less daunting for a beginner (which helps a lot!). Thank you!

[@fiddlesticks6146]

I'm grade 10 and get so annoyed at the people who's presentations are full of blurry pics and colors that dont match and ugly fonts I just wanna slap them😂✊*-.

[@minecraftmaster3158]

Grade 6 and same :)

[@leos444]

im also in grade 10 and it gets me annoyed because some people put so much work into their presentations and others just literally go with the default white ones

[@danimato1833]

Upcoming grade 6 and I agree. My classmates always use templates from PowerPoint and looks over used. The pictures looks like it was searched over Google's first image result.

[@kellyle8404]

I feel you on the deepest emotional level😭😭😭

[@aelula]

Yes lol

[@mohammedalshati6767]

Notwithstanding the great content, your video design and animations ARE lessons on their own merit

[@GCFLearnFree]

Glad you like them!

[@ihsserme2893]

I've been binge watching your videos for hours now. THEY ARE SO DAMN GOOD agh

[@kathh.264]

[@ramnathan5721]

[@docdoc.4500]

Awesome video... waiting for more

[@arjunmiddha]

Thank you! You have great content. And a great sense of humour too, Keep it up!

[@ThePC007]

**looks at your profile picture** And here we see KZbin making modern simplistic pictures only to save them in jpg format which creates artifacts and make the image look bad. Perfect example of what not to do.

[@philipsevarist4321]

Awesome vids... I will stay in touch for more. Simple, smart, and straight to the point.

[@dgnas]

loved the parks and rec reference at 0:14 !!

[@Gee2Smart]

[@Jello70]

[@GCFLearnFree]

Thanks for the compliments. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed it! To answer your question, we use After Effects. We hope this helps!

[@Dodgster]

GCFLearnFree.org can you do a tutorial on how to use after effects like that?

[@GCFLearnFree]

It looks like Adobe's already got that covered: helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/tutorials.html. We hope they help!

We use After Effects to create these videos. We hope it helps!

[@markiluc]

amazing quality contents

[@ryannunez9140]

Hi,great video. How many days for the editor to finish a video like this?

[@GCFLearnFree]

It depends on the video!

[@ryannunez9140]

thanks for the reply. but this particular video, how many days or weeks you work on this?

[@tonysexploresrilanka1591]

very useful

[@hagawazi2007]

very nice tutorial, thank you, this is inspiring

[@jeric555]

THIS IS SO GOOD! keep it up!

[@bojanasavic659]

This is awesome! :)

[@vinodmendonca7763]

i cant believe myself that i found this.. thanks a lot

[@RehnumaProshoon999]

The whole video is really good. How can I use vector images or share them online? because, when i convert them to JPEG they don't look like the original one!

[@GCFLearnFree]

Try saving your image as a PNG. This format usually works better for vectors because it's less compressed than JPEG (and it allows transparent backgrounds). We hope it helps!

[@RehnumaProshoon999]

GCFLearnFree.org Thanks for your suggestion. I'll try it!!! ;o))

[@RehnumaProshoon999]

When I save any vector image as PNG/ JPEG format..... Are they still vector image??

[@GCFLearnFree]

+Rehnuma Proshoon if you saved and retained your only copy as a PNG, it wouldn't be vector anymore (PNG is raster). File formats like AI and EPS are vector; PNG is a common format for exporting vectors. We hope this helps!

[@RenaldoXhahu]

Vector images can only be edited on softwares like Adobe Illustrator.

[@incacube]

great series

[@sadevmahto]

this is wonderfull

[@danielkeyhan6126]

Great work! I love the motion design from your videos, how many time do you spend to make each one?

[@GCFLearnFree]

Thanks! It takes Bronwen anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks to complete one of our videos.
