Graphic Design Essentials: Free Course

[@MattBruntonUK]

Hope this helps someone progress on their graphic design journey. ✌ Lots of ideas in this video, go out and apply them!

[@nimishgahlot]

My notes (These are until 33:00, would be updated as I watch the video) The 9 design principles: 1. Focal point - The location to which a viewers eye gets drawn 2. White space - Quiet areas of the image, that gives you a breather (Not neccesarliy have to be white or solid color) 3. Hierarchy - Giving priority to most imp element, not all elements can be important 4. Grouping - Gathering things that belong together. Should be done to help reader make better sense of info 5. Scale - Having things at different scales. Apply contrasting sizes to add drama in a graphic 6. Sequence - The layout should tell a story. Each panel should be seen together other panels on the page 7. Alignment - Arranging elements on horizontal and vertical axes. Most users are accustomed to left alignment 8. Balance - Symmetry is easiest way of achieving balance 9. Grids - Breaking down the visual area in vertical grids and using them to balance the design

What wizardry is this? A free three hour course by an excellent teacher/presenter. Another gem from Flux, thank you!

[@FluxAcademy]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment.

[@owenL]

100% agree. I wish I'd watched this when I was 17 ...instead of studying 'The Wasteland' & 'Samson Agonistes' 🤨

[@michaelfarrell114]

By far, Best graphic design video on KZbin I've seen. I'm going into 3rd year of a graphic design degree and this is a perfect recap with so much new information, skills and tips. Good, clear communication as well! Fair play!

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks Michael, appreciate it. Best of luck with your studies.

[@estate0007]

An arduous task to make such a powerful video. Hats off to all who played their part in creating it.

[@hyperadapted]

for me as someone relatively new to the field this video is super valuable to get a decent high level overview over the topics. Now I know what to look for and which topics to drill into to get better a better understanding. This is great! Thank you so much

[@FluxAcademy]

That was the goal, great to hear!

[@sl5154]

Thank you for this amazing class/lecture. I will come back here many times just to hear again your reaction to the Pantone website ❤ How many designers in this planet would do their website even for free just to have it on their Design portfolio... Incredible.

[@FluxAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am the first one who commented this beneficial video. And in my opinion this video will stay ranked for a long term. And with this my comment will also rank. Hopefully ❤

3 hour video, Uploaded an hour ago, did you watch on 3 times speed ? 😂

[@Bharpurkazmi]

@@Jamonbambibon I was watching this video and while watching I commented. I haven't written that I have watched the complete. Brother all are not free enough to give 3 hours at once. And this is beneficial and I will watch it completely.

Just what I've been looking g for! Great!❤

[@architection610]

The term "Graphic Design" or "Graphic Designer" is the design of graphics destined for print. When you are designing for digital is referred to as "Digital Design" or "Digital Designer" is the design of something destined to be on a screen. Over the last 15 years, people have blurred the difference between the two.

[@playercool003]

In that case..you should design directly on Canvas or Paper...why design on Computers??

[@architection610]

@@playercool003 I'm not sure even you know what that meant

[@informaticafundamental_]

It is an oversimplification, but yes. Digital Design includes creating websites, apps, images, knowledge about UI and UX, etc.

[@architection610]

@informaticafundamental_ I wasn't asking a question but ok. Been in the industry for the past 20 years from design to web development to software development.

[@informaticafundamental_]

@@architection610 Good for you! I'm a teacher, I tend to explain things that no one asked.
