Hi Satori, thanks for the great content! Can you please make a video about designing with grids, the best practices, tips, and all that good stuff? That would be of great value! Peace!
As always I love your videos. It's great that you have a variety of topics within your content. Outside of logo design these tip videos are very helpful for me. I've been using Illustrator for a few years and certain things have become natural to me but these tips and tricks have shown me faster and easier ways to execute a process. Thank you, peace and blessings!
I have been meaning to ask you : Is your room really that cool and neat with all of this gradient new genrational style or that it's just a super cool editing of videos ? lol seems like you're into a low key techno music and somehow this kind of lifestyle is integrated into your design. very cool. I can see the relations between contemporary style, gradients, vivid colors but yet very slick and elegant the way this kind of techno music is delivered.
Hey Tom! I want to ask you guide me if can be a professional graphic designer without going to any institute and how long will it take? Please and thanks in advance 😊
*don’t learn the necessary software, start with whatever helps you create anything and build up universal knowledge about design. When you do know the fundamentals, you can start getting into more advanced software and then start building knowledge how to execute whatever you can think of digitally. Look at the projects of some great designers, try to understand what makes it work. Then start building up your portfolio. It doesn’t make sense starting to build it with half assed projects where you couldn’t execute what you wanted to or you couldn’t understand what feels wrong about a project. You don’t have to start your portfolio off being professional, you just have to start it when you feel like it’s your work rather than a worse version of some else’s work. Also look for places where you can get good and relevant critique over your projects. It took me 3 or so months to feel comfortable in illustrator. It really is not the hard part. Being a professional graphic designer doesn’t mean you have a particular set of skills in software x, it means that graphic design is your profession. If you mean creating professional level work it’s.. complicated. It depends on how fast you learn the theory behind design and how to execute it. Might take anything between 2 months and 50 years to start producing high quality work, most people seem to start creating portfolio worthy work after they 2nd or 3rd year doing graphic design as a hobby.. if you you’re ling ling and you practice many hours everyday ofc this should take less. But of course, all i said here is relative to my own experience and observation. Perhaps Tom can give an answer of his own, as he most likely has more experience than i do.
You can learn a whole lot here on TH-cam. Start by looking into the graphic design principles such as typography, balance, colour, line etc. TH-cam and Google are your best friend, simply search 'graphic design principles' into both and start educating yourself on those. Once you are familiar with them, you can look at existing designs and see where they have been used in a good way or not. From there you want to start to looking at your own skills and passions within design. Do you like logos, typography, illustration? And then start to formulate an action plan around those skills and or passions. It is best to be within a niche so you can start to build a portfolio and client base around that niche of design. Start making micro goals to build up towards having a portfolio and client base, some of those goals will be to set up business accounts on social media as example. I should have a video on Thursday that goes through 7 tips on being a successful designer in 2020 :)
SIMPLE QUESTION HERE. I AM NEW TO THIS Ai AND WANT TO ASK HOW DO I ACTIVATE THE MAGENTA FLOATING GUIDES TO ALIGN OBJECT, TEXT, ETC OTHER THAN RULERS AND GUIDE??????
Like where i am with this programme, like the way all my past computer design tools lead me here, like how this kind of precision had moved into my work years ago... Moving onto shoptalk: I'm a continental designer therefore my creative flow is in MM (millimetres) however I recently noticed that although I set my artboard's measurements to mm there are other elements like the smart guides and keyboard increments that are configured in Inch? I.e. 0.238mm < thats inch talk man? it does has an confused effect on finer details that I've recently decided has to be sorted out? ⚠️ For instance i set out a pattern at 10mm its kern at 2mm, to duplicate (the Grid activated and set to mm) however it's near impossible (with the smart guides and keyboard increments set in Inch) to Alt drag this pattern to 24mm ahead and then Ctrl D, because it's always out by a tiny amount.. AND i kind of didn't want to make too many Preference changes to my desktop Ai at home, because if i get any studio work i know all there computers will just be running default........ 🤔
Hi! I've watched many great videos from your channel, wondering if you have any solutions (maybe a future video??) on how to deal with smart guides when you have a very complex drawing. Basically I wish that smart guides could ignore certain parts of a drawing, or vice-versa, only reference certain parts of a drawing. Thanks!
Hey there. Sorry but I have never attempted to design something on a phone. I suggest searching in Google 'best graphic design apps for android' and there will be many hits and web pages offering their opinions
My smart guidelines are not showing although I'm not hiding them, I checked every thing on the preference smart guides settings, the color is magenta so it's visible and the tolerances is 10 and still nothing, it's just showing the diagonals when I'm drawing rectangles and circles while pressing on the shift button, that's driving me crazy.
Can someone help me? i just downloaded illus 2020, and mine cant snap and i cant see those pink line everytime youre within the same position to other object. Ive tried to change the setting to tolerant of 1pt, i check snap to every object possible (snap to grid etc.)
Smart guides suck. Cant even snap a proper intersection without fifty different smart guides showing up in in the same spot. Adobe, you got some splainin to do

Going from zero design skills to someone I'm proud of thanks to Satori tutorials. Thank you so much!
Coming this week I have more Ai content. but also graphic design content outside of Illustrator 👍
Hi Satori, thanks for the great content! Can you please make a video about designing with grids, the best practices, tips, and all that good stuff? That would be of great value!
Peace!
Satori Graphics recently found out you can cut/shorten Ruler guides to fit in one page!
Well less confusing on larger artboards...
☮️
Hey thanks for the comment. If you search in TH-cam 'satori graphics grids' I have at least 3 different videos if my memory is correct
yes lol, you mean the cyan guides? You can treat them like any other object pretty much, rotate them, cut them, duplicate them etc
Simple and Straight to the point! I love it
thanks for the feedback! Enjoy your day
You are amazing. Thank you so much for providing things like this on your channel. You explain things so simply, thannk youuuu!! (Yay learning! hahah)
It's always really neat to see someone who is enthusiastic about learning something like design,. Hope you keep finding my content useful 👍
You sound like Christopher Walken when you say "smart guides". Good video ;)

Hey Juwairiyah, thanks a lot for the solid feedback. Good to see that you've learned a thing or 2 from my videos. Do enjoy your weekend

My smart guides are working, but my objects are not snapping to actual 'guides' that run across the screen. Can't find a fix for it :(
Smart guilds is such a great feature even on photoshop it's helped me so much
Yeah the smart guides are very useful indeed, especially for logo design and such
Enjoy your day
Very very good admin
Lol thank you
As always very useful tutorial. Thanks

Most welcome bro
Hey Tom!

Learn the necessary software. Practice and build a portfolio. Your portfolio is important. Even if you dont go to university.

@@nuloom thanks for your valuable response
@@nuloom Can you please suggest me some sources for learning the basics of design. Maybe some books or some websites.

Very useful information, believe Smart Guides are in Photoshop as well..
To my knowledge yes, you can find them in the preference settings under grids and guides

I have smart guides on all the time, so useful.
Just wondering if the "snap to point" setting adds anything, or is it a deprecated alternative?
Thanks a lot 🙏
No problemo
You are Great .... Thank you
hey thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it a whole lot
Great sir
thank you very much
Awesome Video thank you
The same process won't work snapping when creating TRIANGLE with the polygon tool. Please explain about this issue.
Thank you

Sir can you tell me some best software for graphic designing in android phone because I have no pc
Hey there.

@@SatoriGraphics thanks for giving your time
I cant snap objects if they are diagonal or 45 degrees how do I fix it?
My smart guidelines are not showing although I'm not hiding them, I checked every thing on the preference smart guides settings, the color is magenta so it's visible and the tolerances is 10 and still nothing, it's just showing the diagonals when I'm drawing rectangles and circles while pressing on the shift button, that's driving me crazy.

in my illustrator smart guide not working , what should i do ???
Press command or control K and go into the smart guide settings
What is the meaning of satori?
Try Google search 👍
Smart guides not showing even after turning it on in view settings😑
My smart guide suddenly disappeared.
I can't see it again. Even on the window plane
👌👌
💜👍
