Man did this one take a lot of work! Love to know what you guys thought of this new style, and if you liked it, don't forget to share it around! Me and my brother spent a week building that desk lol. The trials and tribulations we went through with that thing...

[@liannaquilong3802]

whoooaa. Yees. That really seemed it took alot of Work. But the HARD WORK is really rreaally WORTH IT. It came out REALLY WEELL. Big GOOD JOB to YOU and Your Brother 👏💓

[@desertfoxxx]

I kind of prefer the old style - it felt more instructive and like I was able to gather more knowledge after watching one. I do appreciate the work you've put in this though and this may be more easy to watch for people that aren't looking for that level of complexity in instruction? Either way I generally love to see the actual process of PS/AI etc. so I was kinda missing that in this one. Love the channel ❤️

I’ve never seen someone do this much editing and motion graphics. I think it’s because it’s “too much work.” You’ve nailed it and definitely proved that you absolutely love what you do!

Your hard work shows so much, the design process is explained in such a straightforward and fun way, the designs themselves are honestly so impressive, and the editing is literally the best I have seen from any KZbin channel. One of the best channels I have come across, the effort you put in is absolutely phenomenal

[@turmzfo]

I rarely write comments on KZbin, but OMG you've out done yourself on this video! I had a headache throughout the video, while thinking about (and witnessing) your endless editing. Congratilations for having the most impressive design video on KZbin 😍

[@BrandonShep]

Well thanks for the comment, Tummas! It definitely took a lot of work, but I think it was well worth it. Really happy you liked it :)

[@jfred.design]

This is one of the funnest ways to see another designer's thought process. Great job with the video! Very inspiring!

[@BrandonShep]

Thanks a lot, Josh!

[@Juanhernandez-zx7kt]

As a graphic designer, this video is accurate. People don’t realize how lengthy the process to create simple packaging that looks both engaging but is practical and what colors, font, shapes, etc. works.

[@michaelheighway8584]

Very interesting approach! Not only is this style engaging, but it removes the distraction of what program is used and rather focuses on the desissions you're making and why you landed on them. It's also fun to see how you portray adding the effects. I imagine it took quite a lot of work but I think the quality and value make it worth it. Side question: Do you use Adobe Dimension much? It seems like an application that would fit your style and workflow well.

[@BrandonShep]

That's exactly what I was going for! Haven't used Dimension that much. Might have to check it out

[@jonathonc624]

! Your other videos were high quality, but this is an incredible leap forwards! I honestly think this format is the most helpful and engaging I've seen. The delivery of the content, the journey through the design process and most importantly the rationale behind the decisions are all so well structured. You're a natural teacher, this is outstanding work.

[@BrandonShep]

Really happy you like the new format! I was hoping this would help keep the focus on the design decisions being made rather than how to use a particular software. Plus, I think showing real-world models helps to see how different decisions impact a product out in the wild.
