I've been struggling with grids for so long and you made my life easier in 20 minutes)) Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing this, it's very useful!
Love your Chanel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Could you make a video on how to create pattern by rythm and repetition please?
Nice and more informative videos ❤

Thank you!
Hey man this vid was brilliant!!
Hi Frankie! Thanks for hanging around! Happy to hear you like the video mate! 🫶🏼
thanks for this reminder ❤
You’re welcome!
One thing, how do we charge for the work, is there any standard that we could follow?
Hi! Great question! Pricing for logo design, brand strategy, and visual identity work can vary quite a bit based on factors like experience, project scope, and client needs. While there isn't a strict standard, many designers start by considering the project’s time investment, their hourly rate, and the value the work will bring to the client’s business. It’s often helpful to research what other designers with similar experience are charging and adjust based on what feels right for you and your work. Remember, it’s okay to start somewhere and adjust as you grow. Hope this helps!
@@Typefool Yes, I really wish there's some sort of agreed upon standard those, there are some people in my country that are agreeing to design logos for as cheap as INR 500, which is like $6. This really affects other freelancers, wasted time on explaining the clients about the pricing, guess there's no good solution for that except knowing our value and sticking to the right pricing.
Wonderful video. Thank you for making it. How long does an average full-step process take for you - from step 1 till the end?
Hello Rohan! Happy to hear you found it helpful! Usually it takes from 6-8 weeks setting up the strategy, logo and visual identity. But it can vary when you have a lot of collateral to make.
Is there a way to do the same thing in illustrator as you did in this video?
Yes! You can draw a rectangle in Illustrator in any size, and you can go to object > path > split in to grid and define you grid columns, rows and gutter in that section! 😄🔥
Wow, thanks so much! This was a great video. :)
Thank you Jerina! I am happy you liked the video 🫶🏼
the title is misleading. it should be "steps to turn grids on in indesign." not everyone uses indesign unfortunately. i came for theory, left disappointed. rename your title!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get where you're coming from. My goal with this video was to dive into the theory of grids and show why they’re so valuable for achieving clean, balanced layouts-no matter the software. TH-cam’s algorithm also favors broader titles to help more people discover content like this. But I’ll keep your feedback in mind for future videos and see if I can include more specific tool tips in the description or in future uploads. Thanks for watching, and I hope the insights on grid theory were helpful!
Life changer. Thanks!
Thank you! You’re welcome 😄
How do you determine what grid system works best for your project? How did you setup the square gird in InDesign?
Hi! Great question! When choosing a grid, I start by looking at the content I need to organize. For example, if I'm working on something with lots of text, I might go with a column grid to keep everything easy to read. For a more visual project, like a portfolio, a modular grid with more flexibility can work well to showcase images. I also consider the style I’m aiming for: a simple, modern design might use a 12-column grid for flexibility, while something more traditional could use a 3- or 4-column grid. Experimenting with a few options usually helps find the best fit for the project’s style and needs. Hope this gives you some ideas!

Thank you! Appreciate that! You mean the font on the grey title pages? Or in the layout design near the end?
@@Typefool Oh, the title pages
Excuse me...where is the traction? why are they so little likes..

How long does it usually take for you to complete a full Brand Identity like this one
Hi there, Good question, usually it takes me ±6/8 weeks. from start to delivering the project.
Fantastic, straight to the point. Thank you
Thank you for the kind words Peter. Appreciated!
Fantastic! The logo is sooo good 👍
Thank you, I am happy to hear you think the logo is gooood! Appreciated.
Looks like algrorythm bring me to the right place.. Confusing why my design looks messy, not place properly, and vise versa.. Already thought the answer, just the source not the best i looking for.. But this, this solve my problem.. And because this too, i can see the difference the pure art and designing an art.. Thumbs Up.. Thank you for the video.. And also thanks for the examples your provide, giving how the excecution process on the media itself.. Had a great day.. :D
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm happy the video helped clarify things for you! It’s always awesome to connect with others who appreciate the art in design. Thanks for watching, and have an amazing day too!
I love the level of detail you provided, especially as you led with brand strategy which then informed your visual design decisions. Thank you for sharing, just subscribed!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad the approach resonated with you, and it means a lot that you noticed the connection between strategy and design. Welcome to the community - excited to have you here!
Why do you make the grid and then sometimes not snap text boxes to it, like "innovative design" around 13:49? I noticed that the H2 text is too long or the font is too big to be fitting inside one row or too small for two rows, that perhaps you decided to put H3 in the middle of the grid's gutter... but are these instances where you have to eyeball it a bit to make it look good or are there nice golden ratio-esque "rules" you can follow for such moments? Because of this, the first bodycopy also doesn't snap to the top of it's grid box. And it seems as if you just randomly threw in the last bodycopy (quote?) xD
Hey! Thanks so much for the thoughtful question - I love that you're paying close attention! 😊 You’re totally right; at that point in the video, I was setting up the header and paragraph styles, and I hadn’t focused on snapping everything exactly to the grid yet. My main goal was to dial in the font sizes and spacing to get a feel for how it all works together visually. Later in the process, I do make adjustments to align everything nicely with the grid. There are times, though, where it’s more about finding a balance that just looks ‘right’ - sometimes the grid helps, and sometimes a little eyeballing does the trick! With certain text sizes, it can be tricky to get a perfect fit, so I focus on overall harmony instead. Hope that clears it up a bit! Thanks again for watching and sharing such great insights!
@@Typefool Thank you for your reply and answering my question! :D It helps me a lot with my new graphic design job after switching from 3D. I don't want to realize in 2 years that I've been making rookie mistakes all the time :P
honestly jobber is not meant for designers or event planners. if they bombard you with ads, i think reporting them is probably your best next step. just a recommendation.
Hello, Thank you for letting me know. To be honest I have no influence on my ads. TH-cam takes care of all that itself... I'm sorry.
Love your logos ❤ How about this grid: Go to View > Show Grid or press Ctrl + " (Windows) or Cmd + " (Mac). This will display a grid over your artboard.
Hi Kate, thank you! I know :). But I can't get used to this default grid, it makes me dizzy since it is over the whole page xD
wow too great thank you bro !
