[@justinworrell337]

I’m definitely on board with layout design, but I would also like to know more about how and where to draw a persons Eye and navigate through the design and if there is a certain way or if it’s open to the artist interpretation.

[@sayanbiswas7364]

@@SatoriGraphics Epic news. Looking forward to it.

[@rushilshah9924]

Till now whenever I observe a design, I used to know that something is not just in place but never found what exactly is wrong with the design. After watching these videos of before and after, I can clearly see the mistakes I've made in my designs. I can clearly see any design in terms of principles it's following. It makes me more confident when I say breathing space is less rather than saying something is wrong. Thanks a lot @Satori Graphics for making such a great video series. 🤩

[@Rockendrollidis]

In my opinion, the topic that is lacking from youtube tutorials is the history of graphic design, and how, by knowing it, makes us better designers. I would love to see that being covered in your future videos! Huge thank for the awesome content!👏

[@jonescd76]

Firstly, well done on your content. It looks good. I am going to be a grumpy old designer now and show my age! When I first started in design, I was literally drawing type, taking the photos and building everything from scratch. It's nice to see that so much content has become available such as images, fonts and other content. Using templates defies the objective of being a designer. What bugs me, is the fact that when people (not designers) change a few things around and clam it for 'their own' they have the cheek to call themself a designer. Such individuals may know how to use the software, but that still doesn't make you a graphic designer. In my mind - as mentioned - if you don't actually create the concept from scratch after following the design process, you're not designing anything. All you are doing is moving your Ikea furniture around your flat (page layout). I'm from the era when web design was a new job description and the traditional graphic designer had to adapt and learn to code HTML, CSS and Javascript - just to surive, but even then, those technical coding skills are not what a traditional designer should do either! The whole world of graphic design has been misunderstood and bundled together with the likes of operators, coders and developers. We are all part of a process. People need to underastand that, as does business. If you take your car to the garage, how much per hour would you pay? £60-100p/h? Design is no different, but with people claiming to be a designer, who use templates think £50 is a good deal for a logo, or a poster; they need to reassess what they are charging/doing. You are literally devaluing the profession of design in the process - an industry which is difficult enough to convince clients they need to hire someone to create bespoke artwork. Rant over!

[@ChicoAzevedo]

Satori i have 19 years of Graphic Design but i was thinking about how could i recycle my mind to find errors and recycling my knowledge. Your channel it is the answer !!! Thanks for all the tips!

[@faiqcreates]

A tutorial on "what" type of grid to use when making logo, and how to make custom grids. Everybody has a tutorial on grids and logo but they never tell us How they actually came up with that perticular grid for that perticular logo

[@andreipopoviciu7523]

Usually in logo design what i do first is to make a 1000x1000 artboard (in illustrator). - Then I either use the default grid from AI, or create small squares (100x100px). - Select all of them -> right click -> "Make guides". From "View" menu make sure you have selected the "Snap to point" option checked. - Right click on an empty space in the artboard and click on "Lock guides" in order to not move them by mistake. Then you try to sick to that grid as much as you can.

[@andreipopoviciu7523]

After more than 5 years of designing logos, I pretty much end up doing it "by eye", and not sticking forcing everything on a grid. It's less time consuming and most of the clients doesn't care. On big projects I still use the grid and make everything pixel perfect, but it's only 5% of the time I'm doing it.

[@faiqcreates]

@@andreipopoviciu7523 thank you for the valuable comment. I screenshot it to help in future. Yeah you are right many logos are made by balancing it visually. I tried that once. Well twice And when i reflected the logo it looked nothing like a logo lol. But it works well as it is :p

[@TD-rl7mi]

@@andreipopoviciu7523 I agree with you, sometimes what seems right to "the eye"is better than the grid.

[@andreipopoviciu7523]

@@TD-rl7mi indeed. In UI design, there's a pretty old but good example to ilustrate that: the play button, that can't be aligned mathematically on a grid, but it has to be visually aligned.

[@ngzijian14]

3:20 i personally prefer the one done by the amature designer. The one you did feels a little to harsh with big black words. The one done by the amature is more soothing for the eye, and looks a lot more elegant as well.

[@ernestoquismorio3271]

I love how each episode gives emphasis to yheir subject, but at the same time the concepts you learn from other videos can be applied to all aspects of designing! Thank you!

[@SatoriGraphics]

Great to hear bro

[@renaldgasper7070]

Well, most people try to speculate and just get a glimpse of Graphic design and be like, I want to know how to make a Professional logo or Web UI/UX, but the Subject of Graphic Design is broad. For topics I would suggest; 1. Principles of graphic design on specific categories (logo design, web design etc) for each lesson/video. 2. Videos like these showing and explaining side by side the good design (follow the principles) and the bad one (doesn't follow the principles). 3. And last one big thing I found to be hard especially to self-taught new designers is how to get the great idea for what they are about to design, see that can't be taught easily is mostly come by a long experience but I think there is a way around it also. By making videos on how to breakdown the client request into a simpler form. What I'm trying to say is, When a designer got a new project to work on it he/she needs to know exactly where to start like, "A logo design project. For a designer to make the project easy for him/her, should break it down by highlight what logotype is relevant to this project, what colors suit best (put into consideration the feel also), what font to use, and pair with what? also, how do you want the end-user to feel when they look at your design and many more (without forgetting Design Principals)." I hope you got the point. I see this many KZbinrs scattered all over the place on this 'Graphic Design' thing, not bad but sometimes I think is not the best to hit the target without telling people how to be able to hit that target every time. Sound more like free training but hey is just my opinion. Coz I was trying to learn a new skill on computer programing and find most of missing pages on the internet the worse you have no idea what page is it, is it the first pages you need to read and learn or is the last pages that need you to have good understanding? Until I found one guy called "the new Boston" who shows you straight how to reach and hit the target. So far what you have done and continue doing is very worthy and lots of education to all new and senior designers, I Congrats you on that keep it up.

In the 1st Design I believe that the woman in red was the only thing which was off-set. Colour palette 🎨 can be changed but otherwise the freepik design is just right and it's just matter of choice. Transformation of 2nd Design was just amazing 🤩 Each and every change made, took it to the next level. Changing one shape and SATORI to orange was the Best 🔥. In 3rd Design Everything is just perfect. But i think one can try completing that semi circle in the bottom left which kind of grabbing a lot of attention just because it's incomplete. In 4th Design In addition to all the changes made, one of the most unusual thing was the use of gradient. Now initially I thought it represents the gradient in data but it isn't ! It looked overcoloured and confusing. Gradient were misleading. It must be changed as per the data.

By the way developing professional designs from amateur ones is a great idea. I'd like to see more videos like that. Actually why not holding a competition? Subscribers here also may download those content from Freepic, edit those designs and finally can compare their own work with your professional version. As the owner of the channel you can decide the winner. Traffic on Freepic increases (it's an affiliation chance, traffic here increases too, while the subscribers have the most benefit learning new professional skills. Lastly if u wish some prizes may be given etc. )

2:46 the Home button state is “selected” so I would not make it the same color and shape as the CTA. Because one should hint users the selected menu option and the other that it is clickable and should take you somewhere. Maybe use the same color but for text and use a line below? 5:25 I like the idea of adding color to the shapes, I felt it muself, but I am not sure about doing it to the top right shape - because it draws user atention outside the design and away from SATORI.
