This guy has so much substance and personality.
Most graphic designers do lol
and seems like a really good person, it pumps me up
swearing doesn't mean he has personality. He's unorganized and unprofessional, and politics during a live broadcast? I don't give a shit about Trump, but he's insulting half his countrymen, half his clients. He seems a little slow to me, either slow or he's in a massive bubble out there in Portland and Seattle.
this is true graphic design
as a passionate Designer myself this guy makes me so motivated it makes me cry.
Met him, hugged him, learned from him
way to go~!
Draplin is so pure! He's a true graphic designer
This has been the best thing I ever seen about design. My goodness we need more of him.
I am easily distracted, definitely not goot at paying attention whatsoever. But he got my attention 100% for whole 29:37 minutes
not true because you didnt put seconds at the end :P
I'm guilty to of that!
That was 30 minutes??
That's the end
same here!
Artists have a special kind of charisma
The way he goes to junk sales and finds old things and brings them alive again is incredible! I remember watching videos about him a few years back, a true design legend!
This speech is a diamond in the rough. Definitely needed to hear this ❤️
So happy to have met and hugged this man! He is so genuine.
So much animation and passion. Loved every minute. Thank you for your transparency and sharing your great personality.
This is just about the best presentation I've ever watched.
Thank you Aaron! Few years ago you've teach and inspire me how to do my logos work the right way. Great speech!
100% badass lovely person. True talent and gifted speaker.
Wow, what a speech. I think I'm going to have to watch it again. What a great guy and a great talent. Feeling inspired now!
Wahhh I got emotional washing dishes while hearing about his dad story. Thank you for this gift Aaron!
Always fascinating to see his talks, his cadence, his passion, the sensitivity. You can just tell how great his father was, even if he didnt talk about him.
Aaron is an artist who deserves every bit of praise he gets, not just for his work but for lighting a fire under everyone's ass everytime he shows up.
It's always nice to listen to Draplin when I'm feeling stuck in my career. It helps me remember why I started.
Never heard of you until I sat down and watched this video. I needed some inspirational for my channel. I've been feeling really unmotivated. This was what I needed. Thank you man! Love your energy! Love the dad stuff!
Man I love this guy. Loaded with inspiration and creativity. And skillshare courses too.
Really enjoy the book and his personality!
Thank you for uploading this talk here @awwwards!
This was truly inspirational! Thank you for sharing it online!!
I love Aaron Draplin! He is just totally himself! Love it! Got his book
Man, I love your speech. You are very down to earth, and very talented designer.
Came in thinking I’d be bored after a minute or so, ended up staying for the full 29:37 of it. Shared it with the boys and took it to heart. This is a true designer and I am forever inspired. This man showed me what I already knew deep down about design, I had my doubts but I’m gonna keep pushing through. Design isn’t a career it’s a lifestyle.
This is one of the most inspiring speeches! ❤️
This is one of my favorite talks ever....thank you
he's got a pure soul.
he spoke his heart out.
this world will be a better place if we all spoke our heart out.
"among other sketchy things" love this guy already
Inspirational.. especially when you sometimes feel down in the dumps, creatively.
Loved every second of it :D Thank you Aaron!
This is excellent !!! You are a story teller if there was one & I really enjoyed listening & watching this - I was intrigued the whole way through!!! Your dad looked like a rad man!!! x Loz (australia)
This man is real, raw, and 💯 and got major skills 😊
This inspired me so much! Such a gem!
WOW Aaron you are an amazing man. Passionate about what you do and looks like so much love. Made me cry about your dad. Lots or respect for you.
And On this day I became a fan of you! I am not a graphic designer or anything I just clicked play and became in Awe of you! Thank you for your story keep shining your light!
Wow wow wow. This guy just changed my entire life.
He is GOAT, wish I can apprentice under him.
You are a beautiful person, thank you!!
25:35 "The universe is expanding in every direction right now, so I made a frisbee." hilarious line
That was one hell of a weight off your chest Draplin. Looking forward to see more of your work.
One of the best designers of this time
This guy was amazing to listen to! I expected technical details but he inspired me with his life.
From Lismore NSW Australia, your great, fantastic and great graphic designer. Fantastic story, great storytelling.
Your dad went to the party in sky the same as my birthday.
Thank you for the amazing vid. Was inspired by all u said, Aaron! Esp about your pops. I made a graphic of my bro (r.i.p.) riding his motorcycle into the sunset and it felt great to make. I will share it with you some day! Peace!
What a treat! Great talk. Many thanks.
Jeez. Amazing. No words.
When I tapped this thumbnail I was like I don’t got 30 minutes to watch no video. By the end I was like damn where’s he going? We not done yet!
recommendation: watch it twice. I've done it.
SAME. incredible.
Loved this. Such a great guy
Thank God this guy exist !
I love his energy and how pure he is
This man's personal connection with politicians is all what's wrong with the world right now. But he seems adorable.
he's like a retarded puppy dog. Lovable, but still retarded
What an outstanding human being Aaron is.
Love this dude. Great designer, better human.
So dope.
Spoke to truth.
Love this.
Love Draplin - what a guy! ✌️
There's something very awesome about your stuff.

Awesome talk. Too bad there's no graphic design profession for a lot of us anymore...
Wow, what a beautiful person!
Dude.... was that Taylor, MI. Flea Market on Middlebelt??
Does anyone know what font family he is using to design his slides? For example 9:45. Thank you!
Wow. What an amazing person.
So inspiring😍
Things that having nothing to do with graphic design. Listening to your political views. I still watched because I love this stuff!
4:23 - black pine logo on green is by Stefan Kanchev - a world-renowned logo artist from Bulgaria, and he does have a couple of books written about him :)
Thank you for sharing one of the realest video that"s full of transparency and raw talent. What advice do you have for an up coming graphic artist ? I mostly do graphics for my partner or family but my work has made it, to some prominent people page on Facebook so far? I haven't charged anyone as yet for my work because i am still learning at the trial an error stage. I am self taught via videos, notes an online courses i work with different apps to create ads, banners, videos, logos, call cards, flyers, watermark images and web designs. I really want to become one of the best within my country so i challenge myself most days, at times i very get despondent and start again. My goal is to become a web designer mainly adding other forms of graphics to my business.
Renelle Ashby you got the heart. You already have the answer. Not giving up and continuing your passion even thru the worst days. I’m in the same boat as you but I want to lean more towards my own art. Hope to see your name out there some day again
awesome
if i ever see this man in real life, i will cry
Why is this so entertaining 😅
There are few things in life that should make you teary eyed, and politicians most definitely aren't it.
How do you get to where you are now? I need to know!
I’m a highly-creative person with interests and experiences all across the board and influences stemming from both old and new designs in lots of different areas. Cars, characters, power combat, fashion, gadgets, food, you name it.
I have been stuck in entry level jobs all my life and I’ve never had a real opportunity to do what makes me feel like a breathing human being.
I just want to design everything, for the benefit of the planet and the organisms living here, real simple. Fortunately, such a vague motivation is able to dramatically expand your possible applications, which I think is good for running a business, right?
Do you have any advice?
So good - all the things - so good.
Ma bro from another mother.. ; LiVE LOnG & ProSPER!
Serious respect..
He doesn't even know you exist..reality check
@@alekosimba For what weirdo who knows u? OH i get it, getting chummy acting all cute r we here? well listen kiddo thats ok. The man will know if he has to now. don't u worry about that sort of stuff.. better keep ur nose in its place or it's not gonna be a great smelling 2020 now for ya ain't it!
@@evm6177 ok,boomer
I would love to have a convo with this guy!
Amazing shyet!
You're my hero Draplin. Fucking awesome. Miss you buddy.
Lost it at "we got it easy". Easy = more competition = more creativity you have to compete with. It all balances out.
love the passion and genuineness.
Inspiring AF
7:26 Right on!
22:00 I can't believe the Honey Bucket story!
Watch him at 1.5X speed. Even more hilarious.
