@The Futur Lovely Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - Fiymaria Graphic Gainer (probably on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for getting the best graphic design for your project minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got astronomical success with it.
I like how Matthew, as a Motion Designer, demonstrates his understanding of composition in other fields of Graphic Design, showing how universal design can be when you master the basics.
This was super helpful! To Recap: 1. Have Visual Hierarchy 2. White space is your friend 3. Direct Viewers' Eyes 4. Use plenty of Contrast 5. Look for balance -Alignment etc...
Great Designer but your ultimate gift is being a Teacher... humble & soft spirited and beautiful posetive energy. Thanks and you guys just got yourself a new subscriber...
Re-Watching this masterclass in creative direction. We are big fans of this thoughtful approach! Design is a process and part of building up the soul of your design involves learning to look for the things Matthew is pointing out. Take notes designers & CDs. Big fans of this and all of the Futur content.
Love how clean you laid out this video. So easy to digest and implement. You do a great job with that dude! Would love to see more vids like this from you Matthew!
This was suuuuper helpful. It's so easy to spend hours pouring over a design, but it's crucial to take a step back and make sure you are hitting the fundamentals strong before diving back in. In fact, starting with nailing the basics would probably save a lot of time.
Your a beast!!! Minor tweaks and the work became way more impactful. I'm impressed. Shows your experience and knowledge without a lot of fluff talk. I'd like to see your rapid visualization skills (30 min or less) from idea to concept. I think a lot could be learned. Appreciate the thorough and short video.
You have been asked by the National Eye Institute & Cantoone to create a simple color reference guide for people with Rod monochromacy or achromatopsia. This guide should allow them freedom to create color combinations, which are harmonious (based on color wheel theory).
Really glad to see you guys break down these great designs and apply subtle but meaningful changes. That “tightening” up of skill is what I’m looking for!
Great design critique! For the FIFA poster, I'd actually prefer the original poster. I understand and appreciate positive and negative space. But, it seems to me that the original artwork (country names, contrast wise) creates more legibility for web accessibility. The knockout orange block text feels weak in comparison to the white against the solid orange background. My 2 cents.
I agree. I thin you could have combined the ideas though and taken the white and made it an orange with either less opacity or just the same orange but a light color.
Matthew!! Thanks man the class helped me so much but I still have more to learn. At this point I just need to keep putting in the work but I thought I saw a comment you got something coming up for style frames?
Holy sh#8 the simple balance made the logo so much better instantly. Also I use Affinity Designer on the Mac and fell in love with it, since the first time until today. They did what chrome did to browsers when it was released.
Great video! It’s always a good thing to utilize foundational design skills. Without these, what’s the point? Thank you! You (Futur/Blind - entire staff) all continue to strengthen and stretch design community❣️
Matthew Encina it is absolutely my pleasure - it’s refreshing to hear positivity, authenticity and genuine kindness in design. Your contribution to the greater good is what it’s all about! 🔆
Love this types of videos, would love to see more examples from other design fields, like web design, app design. Also please do more episodes on Affinity Designer on iPad.
Love it! Thank you for another amazing video, I really appreciate it. I've been a professional designer for over 7 years but it's always educational to watch The Futur. Sharpen your Saw people.
The first poster I would recommend the change color of the stroke into black or increase the width of the stroke because of a thin line of orange not easy to ready, especially on outline text.
Yup! more videos like this one please! Matthew just made small adjustments on details but it made so much impact visually. super dope! p.s. way to do subtle way of doing a demo of AD, haha awesome!

Same principles, different applications.
So true! Good design is good design. I feel like a great designer can design for any application.

I love how you're so interested in complimenting the works before critiquing it. The constructive criticism is top notch

More from Matthew please!
Noted.
Agreed!
He has his own channel too

I love this type of video with Matthew ! Its so much fun to learn those little tips about graphic design in a few minutes
Creativity is the source of design. The source is enriched by experiences and knowledge acquired since the first day of our birth ...
Great post !

I am Affinity fan and user. It's good seeing a big name design firm endorsing them, it's such a great product line and company.

That's a cool idea. What kind of challenge would you like to see solved?

“Didn’t have to do much to make it look awesome” IT WAS ALREADY AWESOME !!! You made no difference
ohhh kayyyy. drink much haterade?
Yes! Please more of these! Especially when editing text to give it hierarchy
Really glad to see you guys break down these great designs and apply subtle but meaningful changes. That “tightening” up of skill is what I’m looking for!
Matthew Encina absolutely agree! I guess refining that 10% comes with time and practice. But it sure helps when you guys share insight!
More of this kind of video please. Really love how the Pro designers look at thing differently.
I mean seriously, You were great. The intro is fantastic.
The only video that actually made me learn and concentrate. Usually I would have moved on to the next video.
That's exactly what I thought! Before I knew it I had a pen and notebook out.
More videos like this one!
You got it!
Literally the only video that shows actual work my God.
Love “Before & After”, and see the process!! Learned a lot!!
Amazing video, Matt and The Futur! Thank you so much for the critique. More power to the whole team!
Liam Andrew Cura thanks for submitting the great work
Love this type of video where you provide design tips!
I really enjoy these types of videos. Great job!
Wow. A little Affinity love.
Love this type of videos! Watching the work progress is really cool.

James Chiu completely agree
My thoughts too. If this poster going to be big on a wall, the original one will look better espcially from distance.
I agree. I thin you could have combined the ideas though and taken the white and made it an orange with either less opacity or just the same orange but a light color.
Im impressed the iPad and Affinity Designer handled that file I know it was pretty big. Thanks again for the Tips!
Thanks for submitting the fantastic work Joel. You're an A+ student of the course!

Matthew!! Thanks man the class helped me so much but I still have more to learn. At this point I just need to keep putting in the work but I thought I saw a comment you got something coming up for style frames?
