[@petegrant3251]

Abi, this is totally amazing! Very inspirational. While we have Ai as part of our cloud package...never got around to ever using as have no idea what to do with it :) That said we can achieve similar using Canva. We run a UK holiday/vacation home business and are looking at this angle to spice up carousels....while it'll be tricky to do what you've done, your video is a great inspiration. Thanks Abi 👍🏻

Could you explain a little bit more about exporting this? You're working on 300 ppi, why? Love the vid❤️

[@abiconnick]

Of course! So ppi is used for images displayed on a computer so great for graphics being uploaded to social media! I use 300ppi as it makes the image more crisp compared to using something smaller like 75ppi!

I have a question as a young graphic designer in college I’m hoping you could answer in a future video 🥺 Do you work in ux/ui design too? Like UX designers would work on products before launch, then product designers work on them after?

[@abiconnick]

Hey 👋 So no I don't do any work in ux design, I'm a brand designer, so I create brands for businesses (includes logo suit, colour palett, etc) Then sometimes clients want extra's adding on like social media templates, product packaging designs etc. If you want to learn more about how I do packaging design I have a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmbNgJxvqtOXarM that should be of help 😊 Best of luck in college!

[@joyusagi]

Hi! I love your videos they're super helpful!! btw I have a basic question on illustrator, when you import the photos into Illustrator do you have to check ppi if it's 72?? or as long as it looks fine you don't actually look at the ppi?
