Be a BETTER Creative Director - COMMUNICATE!

[@spencerfoster292]

Matthew is such a great host, full of information and excitement. Great stuff!

[@kevinbishop_]

Really enjoy listening to Matthew. Would be great to see him more on the show if Chris isn’t whipping him too hard in the Blind studio! :D

[@moniquewrites9046]

This is so gooooood. This is a much needed topic. It probably won't get into a college lesson plan but it is vital for designers and creatives. I know that having a boss who's been in the field for a while can be super intimidating and tough! It can feel terrible but if they didn't need you they wouldn't have hired you. You can do it.

Mathew speaks in such a way that you can tell he really knows what he's talking about and has formal training from a top school and lots of experience as a CD.

[@gabriellahanna5594]

How can be someone be so kind as Matthew :( I swear Matthew is the most genuine and caring person ever. Honestly not so many people can do that; still being patient while everything goes crazy, Matthew I appreciate you! thank you for inspiring us ♡

Guys... Awesome video. One might consider at first «oh no, there is no Chris in this video». There is. There are strong communication values and information that is passed on to us. I must say that I was happily pleased to see this video, now. I can also say that, from what I've seen so far from you TheFutur, that Matthew can address some stuff even «cleanliner» (if that is a word) than Chris, and I believe that it is a huge compliment for both of them. So, keep up the great work, of course, and we'll be here! Cheers from Portugal.

[@mguerra79]

Mate, it was a surprising pleasure to listen to you! Congrats to you all.

I absolutely enjoy listening to Matthew! Learning so much from him! I applied to my work almost every key point what I’ve learned from him so far and it feels so good 😊

[@KaraLeonardia]

One of my fave streams so far :D I love seeing how Chris' teachings rubbed off on Matthew and how Matthew had applied it in his own way through the years. I can totally hear similar speech patterns between the two as well. I totally relate with how hard it is to articulate why something isn't working. I went through it for the first time when I tried to teach a friend watercolor. Had to take my time figuring out how to say things simply to a beginner. Shout out to the rest of the Dream Team as well! Pretty solid questions :D It totally helped the conversation along.

Love Mathew! Great host. I'm still amazed at how he just uses common sense with the process and workflow and the youngster's are like that's genius. Makes me wonder what they are learning in school. Keep up the awesome programing!

[@JoshuaEliGilley]

I find myself in a similar situation as Matthew, taking on a director role so that our design team can succeed. This episode was EXTREMELY helpful for me. It really helps me to articulate my position and value within the company I work for, thanks Futur!!

[@GoranPeremin]

Matthew is powerhouse

[@VagnerSh]

Great Video! I was wondering if in the Pro Group it is explained how to write a discovery document and a creative brief with more details. I am thinking to join the Pro Group and I am moving from Motion Designer to a Creative Director.

[@maecervantes3669]

You are amazing Matthew!

[@jakubkuik10]

L O V E I T ! So awesome session! Great job Molly and Matthew!

[@etikai9828]

I would love to work under Matthew!

[@shinsekai791]

Really awesome video..thanks matt and chris!

[@abdemed7086]

Love you Mat. 💕

[@DULGUUN]

Matthew the man!

[@robamostafa700]

This video is extremely helpful! Thank you so much :)

[@thisismelv]

I love it, very insightful !

[@JohanaTeran]

I'm so sad I missed this live stream! So good!

[@samb8414]

Mad respect yay glad to see some more smiling faces

[@roxyvelez2331]

Great content :) Loved this video!

[@michaelstancato6057]

Did Molly or Chris watch the movie "Helvetica" before doing this project and discuss it?

[@thefutur]

I haven’t seen it.

[@rizqhp]

I think this video will never come back

[@thefutur]

Sorry, we had some technical and scheduling issues. It's back now!

[@julies2131]

Great video! I can relate to multiple sections... my managers hover and point, move this a couple pixels over, change that to a darker gray. Also almost every larger project that we do changes direction multiple times. Its definitely hard gearing up for the next large project. I try to rectify my process for each project but it never seems to work out. Do you guys have any advice on how to manage wireframes and annotations for web design?

[@jonasarleth]

Matthew how many years do you work with Chris now?

[@thefutur]

Jonas Arleth 7?

[@mila9381]

great i need this

[@hrdcpy]

So is Mathew demonstrating how to be a better CD or is the guest a CD who is looking for feedback? She sounds like a designer who lacked a briefing. How does the CD title fit into a normal team structure?

[@ohyeah2269]

So fun

[@meliams5661]

"They still want to go down their direction, which is fine (my reaction : ?!). Like I have no emotion attached (my reaction : ????!)" ..... but how?

[@meliams5661]

OMG, you replied my comments. That's very kind, Matthew. I will absolutely note this down and practice it. Thank you so much!

[@joebazooks]

damn wth happened to the monogram vid i havent finished watchin it

[@thefutur]

24 hours and it disappeared.

[@joebazooks]

boooo!! i only got to watch like 15 mins of it :( u gon b reuploading it?

[@thefutur]

yes. as a course. with 5-6 more videos.

[@anthonyomariesmith2262]

Helvetica is a TYPEFACE. Helvetica light is a FONT. Helvetica is not a font Matt.

[@leonsanchez6489]

This format its terrible. It's just anecdotic.

[@thefutur]

anecdotal?

[@leonsanchez6489]

@@thefutur no just anecdotic, it's an adjective.
