[@lilianacosta4980]

I'm a graphic designer and let me tell you.. you ALREADY have a great eye for design!! The technical stuff you can learn with KZbin - it's not easy, but it's possible! (Edit: I have a degree but know many designers who are self-taught!)

[@Griz187]

Agreed. He’d benefit from someone to critique and have design convos with. Way more helpful than a structured class. All the technical parts are google-able.

[@ersimn]

right? i'd take classes FROM HIM on graphic design

[@drsalka]

@@Griz187 but it's SO much faster when u have a person you can ask immediately. i studied architecture and learning to use autocad was a steep learning curve - i took a week long class, which of course helped, but having an older student by my side to help me with all the tips and shortcuts was incomparably more useful. same goes for when i was learning to use ps, ai, id etc.

[@emilypleasance2782]

In my opinion, the BEST thing I have ever done in my education is make every assignment work to my benefit. Meaning - work to become something that is relevant to my life and practice and can help me grow in ways that directly relate to what I am doing in the world.. This makes me actually care about what I am doing! Ps. I hope one day I get to have my moment of running into you in life. With Warmth, Emily/Amalia

[@kajin6776]

Sounds great in theory, but how do you do it in practice? For instance, if you have an assignment on an obscure topic you couldn’t care less about?

[@elbellexx]

@@kajin6776 I had a design professor who told us that as we research a topic we really don't care about, we have to find something that connects with us, which then helps us find a way to add in our interests/personalities. Obviously in a design context, but I think that advice can be applied to other areas (basically good research is key)

[@thorntonphongsopa3041]

1:39 that’s me!! It was lovely meeting you 🥰

[@Songofgaiafoe]

Damon, you keep me motivated to keep going through life. I'm at an anguished age of it, where I'm young enough to not face any huge consequences for inactivity, but because of that I got NOTHING. No car, money, job, or school. Before I started watching your channel I thought I'd just be miserable, but now, I'm expanding my hobbies, hoping to meet new people, and writing and drawing a visual narrative to upload to KZbin in hopes to inspire at least one person. Cheers to the struggles and wins alike! And thank you for being transparent with us. ❤

[@elegancia6179]

Don’t fret, stay kind to yourself but diligent in fulfilling your purpose 💗

[@evercuriousmichelle]

These last two videos of his have really sparked something in me, I think I miss learning just for the fun of learning. I think I will sign up for an Italian class or art class at my community center! Here’s to us both finding a spark of excitement for a corner of our lives!

[@ededdeddy17]

[@summerwalker8826]

I love your transitions they remind me so much of those vintage educational videos they show you in school from the 90s

[@MiracleBadu]

I love that you’re such a proponent for education and learning even though you yourself dropped out of college. It’s inspiring and goes to show that everyone can be educated and knowledgeable even if you don’t follow the “traditional” path.

[@its_soops]

Babes please, you have enough Graphic Design juice flowing through you already.

[@thevisualmetaphor]

When you take a course in a group there will always be curriculum that you feel is irrelevant to your specific goals in that moment. But same as everything, the random things you learn today can ignite unexpected ideas in the future.

[@heysheba]

now this is a real and true example of someone who is hungry to improve his art and his life and does something about it. bravo

[@ketrakrelek2347]

native Londoner her re your bus thing; usually if you are sitting next to somebody and another seat becomes free where you wouldn't be sitting next to somebody then you move because it's more polite plus just avoids sitting so close to other person unnecessarily, I dunno if that actually was the situation though

[@damondominique]

Oh no it was even worse 😅 the bus was packed and he went to sit next to someone else.

[@anastasi3157]

[@JessRobynDaniel]

This video is sooo nostalgic for me! I went to design school in Toronto and everything is the same! Same long crowded commute, same experimental projects, same white walls and concrete floors that make misplaced furniture look like art 🤣!

[@HoshieFurusawa]

This course seems great to start with graphic design, maybe not ifor you but in generell. It reminded me of some classes i needed to take in my first year. They are a lot more about the visual eye than technical skills, but those are things you need as a basis.

[@atypicalaimee]

The transitions (for each day) ARE IT ARE GIVING ARE TRANSITIONINGGGGGGG ~so happy to see this upload, as always ~

[@carolinafernandes6058]

You mentioned needing a graphic design coach of sorts, the digital space has workshops to learn adobe softwares like illustrator and photoshop etc. They're super helpful! There's also critical forum thursday evenings, lectures which help a ton listening to other people's work so that's good for inspo! This collage style you showed reminds me of David carson!

[@lucymoon]

Sorry but this edit is SO good

[@Gobrooklyn57]

Part British haven’t been to London in years, may just go because Damon is really inspiring me. I’ve been scared to travel alone and learn new cultures so I stay on da blocc. But it’s okay for me to leave the block sometimes 😊✊🏽💙

[@damondominique]

Take money. London is dumb expensive these days.

[@zoww13]

As a born and bred Londoner this totally resonated - and one of the reasons I live in the French countryside now. I was back in London last week and I had your exact rush hour cross town tube vs bus dilemma plus the ensuing belongings explosion on the bus floor with my multiple, multiple bags. Feeling your pain there! Also my thought on arriving was... I've just spent my ENTIRE weekend budget in Pret on coffee and a soup! London is ridiculously expensive now.

[@atrabilious]

I went to LCC for my graphic design degree and also found it quite frustrating that it was all very theoretical and conceptual, and I literally had to teach myself how to actually use the digital creative tools.

[@gabriellehenry526]

your videos always pop up as i’m questioning what’s next for me. (i still don’t know but you give me good ideas)

[@ededdeddy17]

damonnnn I’m telling you sometimes your videos feel like they were made FOR ME - im literally dropping out of uni today and hearing you say “I’m paying to be here” was so validating - I’ve always been the ‘bad kid’ asking way too many questions, arguing with staff, challenging processes because if something doesn’t make logical sense why tf do I have to do it?? Just loved this reminder that being a self learner can be fun and effective and good and if these systems don’t serve us then we have the power to just leave ❤️ love to you king

[@larss4119]

L’invitation au voyage is one of my faves. I memorized it in French when I was learning the language. I would sneak into Buttes Chaumont during confinement because I lived on the corner and would run around the park reciting it to myself to distract myself from the boredom and pain of running and the world being on hold.
