Abi, may i ask for you to do a content idea?
Everytime i watch your vid, it seems that you love to use the pencil tools..
Would you mind doing a tutorial / tips and tricks to use pencil tools?
It is a bit tricky to use for new designer..
Thanks..
Or if you have a vid already made, or a vid suggestion from other content creators?
Nvm abi, sorry my bad.. i havent finished the vid, and wrote this.. thanks..
@@rag_dsgn haha no problem! Here's a video on it: th-cam.com/video/ows4mzaD0hY/w-d-xo.html I also have a course just on the tool as well if you are interested: www.abiconnick.co.uk/pencil-tool-course
@@abiconnick oh thank you..
i might look the course later, but as of now, i dont have the fund for it..
thanks tho, your content have helped me so much in the past few months
Please, if possible, more videos like this one! It's so interesting to see the different solutions. The observations you made were totally coherent. The learning potential from this is huge. Thank you so much!!!!
Absolutely! More to come, just make sure you vote! Thank you, I appreciate it, and I couldn't agree more, there is so much to be learned from this! 😊
@@abiconnick I have already voted and commented it. I think it's so important for people to know how other people see their work, so they can have another perspective on it. They all are amazing designs.
@@momonatu4998 Yes you're right! Thank you for doing that, I know they will appreciate it!
I said wow out loud for Pedro's ❤️
It's just so well done, and unlike anything I've seen before.
Pedro's colour palette was on point! Think it worked so well!
Matt's design is so freaking cool and clever. The use of letters and the colors used are just amazing. I love it.
That was my initial impression as well! Really smart design.
🫶🫶🫶
Abi, I love your design, especially your logotype solution. The one-color design makes it more economical than the others to produce. That said, after comparing it to the others, I would have liked to see your design in tropical colors.
Thank you Mark 😊 I can see that! A few more colours would of made it feel more Tropical.
Matt's design is for me the best. But all of them did a great job ! It's amazing. ❤️
They all did but Matt's certainly was good, really creative!
Abi, your design is so much fun! I'm curious-do you freestyle your patterns, such as the one on your design? Or do you sketch your ideas out beforehand? They're amazing!
aww thank you 😊 And I'm a freestyler aka I play around in illustrator until I create something I like 😂
You were all great. Now it's up the client to choose what he prefers for his brand. Great job!
Thank you, appreciate it :)
I love to see your videos. I always improve my vision about design with your help. Thankssssss
Happy to hear that! Glad I've been able to help 😊
This is so cool! I love seeing all these different interpretations of the same brief. They're all really beautiful! And you're very brave to take on such a competition and put yourself out there. I love the 'S' in your logo and that sound bar is subtle but really clever and clean!
I feel like as long as every designer thought well about the concept and made conscious decisions, then it eventually comes down to what you (the viewer or the client) value most. I find myself weighing the pros and cons of every design and of course personal taste plays a big role. I take inspiration from all five of them, but my winner would be... (drum roll) ...the flamingo design! The scenery just takes me there and the dark green and orange tones give it that premium feel for me. Great video. Love it. ❤️ I'm gonna vote now. 🙃
It's so intriguing to see how different designs interpret a brief! Really appreciate your positivity and kind words 😊 I couldn't agree more with you about personal taste, design is so subjective! Joanne's design is great, I really like the art work 💛

Either JORGE or JOANNE. JORGE has a really clever logo with a slick logotype while JOANNE has an interesting logotype and captivating use of elements and colors. Overall, I can see Joanne's BRANDING far more applicable if you're going to add other new scents.. and for that, I pick her.
Really good points! They were both top tier! Shout out to them :)
I wowed at Pedro's! 😅
Pedro's was great! I love who everyone has different favourite!
I think Matt had a great concept
He did!
Amazing!! Tbh my ranking would be:
1. Abi (totally not biased)
2. Pedro (I think it would improve the design to do more fruity shapes like you did!)
3. Matt, he got the vibe and loved the creativity on the i-m-m-e-r-s-c-e-n-t
4. Jorge
5. Joanne
haha well even if it is biased I appreciate it 😊 Overall I think the standard was really high!
why i just love your design? i thing i learn a lot form you. maat's design go for this brief.jorge's design too minimal.joanne's design looking great music element i like most.pedro's design also stand at good position.
Glad you like them! I appreciate the support :)
I think everyone's a winner!🎉🎉 😁😁 Design wise, I would be happy to see all of them on a retail store 🙂
Each one evokes different feel and so that reflected on their designs, but maybe if it was possible, to actually have the product on hand. I'd say having knowledge about the scent of the product would really help the Designers? Because the products scents are different isn't it and words or theme are interpret differently. But if they find the common ground of the scent and theme..and when it comes together that might be another next level design. 😄😄 Anyways I don't know what I'm talking about. No ones gonna read this anyway. If you did! Thank you!
I couldn't agree more, all were to a really high standard! I agree about being able to smell the product! Would of been really helpful, next time! I appreciate you taking time to leave a comment, they all get read around here! 😊
@@abiconnick Oh no! We really appreciate you making and devoting your time for us, replying to our comments. 😄Thank you!
Which format is best to present a design, is it jpeg, png or pdf
Png as it has a transparent background
@@abiconnick Thanks so much Sir
@AbiConnick i voted and I gave comments. But I couldn't find your design to vote for?!
Appreciate it, thank you! Yes I mentioned in the video that I wasn't going to put myself in the vote as the winner gets money and I knew you guys would have my back :)
@@abiconnick ❤💘
Amazing video, Abi! And all great designs, this was definitely inspiring.
May I ask if anyone knows the font used for Joanne’s logo type?
Thank you appreciate it ☺️ they are all great! I don’t, but I can ask and get back to you.
@@abiconnick That would be appreciated. Thank you, Abi!
Keep being amazing 🤩
Jorge 💜
Was certainly a good one!
MATT
😍😍😍
😊
I think Joanne won, because she best suits the product theme itself and there is a good association in the logo itself associated with sound waves.
Loved her design!! Make sure you go and vote😎
Cool to see how different designers interpret a brief! You see this a lot in the design community for those who do passion projects. But they always use different mockups. Seeing the same mockup, just different design, in your video really makes it easier to compare. Loved it!
Personally was my favourite thing about the challenge! Love seeing how different designers have different ideas and creative thoughts! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Jorge's design is my favourite. Love the minimalism and elegance of the package design, the different colours for each does the work, enough to imagine an extension for a potential range. The others feel too busy imo, Matt's a good second. Though I'd place Joanne's as third, hers would be the most visually appealing on a shelf, relative to what the product is (the one I'd imagine grabbing the most people's attention).
Pedro's design's use of right aligned text on the packaging bothered me, but al-in-all each are strong contenders!
All were to a great standard but the feedback you provided was really insightful and you did it in the right way ( a lot of people struggle to do this 😅) So thank you!
@@abiconnick Thanks, Abi. As a graphic designer myself, I'm interested in the 'why' and 'because' to reason my decision making towards a project.
All great designs! For me, Joanne's definitely has the most premium and tropical feel. Also ticking the "modern" checkbox. But for shelf appeal, I'd say the winner is Abi. Those designs will really pop as you're walking down the aisle. Matt certainly has some pop to his design, but it's almost too busy. All around, sweet designs though!
They were! I did have a soft spot of Joanne's, it was the art work! Appreiate the feedback and kind words 😊
I love Jorge’s design! I would totally buy that if I walked past it on the shelf. Very aesthetically pleasing
It's a very classy and minimalistic look! It for sure looks high end and suits the product well!
It's also very clean and minimal, which is how I would interpret a premium brand.
Matt’s was the best and the one I’d buy passing it on shelf vs others. It’s fresh and funky and playful! Jorge seemed monotone with the color. Joanne seems too much flamingo going on and hard to read. Pedro I really liked the design on paper but too busy on the box? Abi is good but missing something I can’t place, more colors maybe.
🥰
Think they all smashed it out of the park so hats off to all of the designers!! It’s so good to see how each designer interprets the brief! Such a mixed review about people favourites 😅 excited to see who will win!!
I don't understand why Pedro is being underrated here. That looks the best and I would really consider buying if I see such a lively packaging.
I don't think he is! A lot of people have said they loved his design! Think the colour palette is great!
If I were at a store and had to pick among all these designs, Id definitely be drawn to your design or Matt's. Although Matt's is quite busy, it screams tropical which I noticed right away. But everyone had awesome designs. Great work.
I think you still should have added your design to the final image so we could visually see it next to the others - even if we aren't able to vote for you. The name is clunky "immerscent" so that's starting off awkward and the concept of mixing scent and sound is a bit obscure - how exactly did they describe how they were going to do this??? Do you get an exclusive music playlist with every scent? Otherwise - it makes scents, but doesn't make sense. Pun intended. In any case - no matter what design you get you will always see things that work and things that don't - even in your design, I found the little music bar thing to be superfluous - I didn't get it. Maybe if it had a recognizable play icon like an arrow it would have been a stronger music symbol, but if I were to see that on the shelf I would just think it's a line with a dot - just another design element to fill some space. I do, however, love the way you customized the logo - your interpretation of that weird named looked the best of the lot. And while the design was interesting - very bold and stark against the white background, it just seems a little - plain. I don't know - it WORKS though, but it just kinds reminds me of a random tile pattern. Simple and super clean. I found the blobs of color around the name on the package and on the scent bottle to be kind of - I dunno... I feel some type of way about it, but can't articulate it. the design is almost so "no frills" that you would think it's something a designer would present to a client who is on a VERY tight budget. As for the designs you want votes on, if I was forced to choose one, I would choose Matt.
Matt (Winner) - The design looks bold and bright and summery. The scent sticks look thin and light and airy - like the scent just wafts through the air. The colors almost match the actual bottle (wish they had). The dark blue and light blue kind of look clunky and out of place - the light blue is too light/bright and the navy blue is too dark/bold. I wish the colors would have stayed in the golden oranges, yellow, and maybe a little red to mirror the scent bottle. And maybe tone down some of the extra elements - beating me over the head with the summer icons (palm trees, volley balls, musical instruments, fruit, tropical animals, etc). And in the middle of all of this - that stark, almost medicinal label that looks like it should be more on a face cream. Other than that - it gives me the most consistent idea of summer, scents, and sounds because it has ALL three.
Jorge (Runner Up) - It's basic, but that doesn't mean it's not appropriate. If the client wants something more "familiar" then this def fits the bill. The use of the reeds in the design in the shape of the rising sun (the apropo symbol for summer) is literally the best thing about this design. Otherwise - this doesn't tell me anything else. It actually looks like a standard cosmetic line - you might pass this on the aisle and think it was lotion. I think the dark pink background and the heavy drop shadows weigh this design down giving it the opposite feel of light, summer vibes and fun. This looks like it could actually be a Clinique brand product or packaging for Tan Towels. The reeds also look very heavy and oily and thick in this mockup - making it seem like the scent will linger and be overpowering like an old grandma with thick, floral perfume on. The heavy feeling is also reinforced by the boxes laid flat - it's like they're too heavy to even sit upright.
Joanne and Pedro (Tied #3) - Both designs look incongruous for the brand. Pedro edges slightly ahead of Joanne because at least his reeds come in multiple colors and I think that would add nicely to the room decor. His design though - is a bit too abstract and the colors a bit too muted - nothing about it says summer, sounds, or scents. The box design is playful and whimsical, but the product design is very sedate - went form curves and odd shapes on the box to lines on the actual scent bottle. Joanne's is visually (and easily) hands down the most elegant, luxe, sophisticated of all the designs, but I think that's the problem. The design is too dense - almost overwhelming for scent sticks. You don't want to feel like you're being smothered with scent. And the palm trees and flamingos are just too dang regional and specific - summer in Florida or the tropics, maybe, but certainly not summer in the mid-west or mild climates. The pink and green together - not really stretching the color combo muscle there - that's a no-brainer. I wonder what this would've looked like if the flamingo was a bright yellow instead of pink. I actually like her logo as well, the wavy letters in "immerse" do give the feel of water or movement - which is great. She should have gone all the way and made the "i" wavy, too - it looks weird standing there at attention while the rest of its letters are exaggerated. I love how she made knowing how to pronounce the name easy by making both words visually different - "immers" and "cent."
This is fun to watch. I love seeing how different designers interpret something. If I had to choose one element from each design to use to come up with a different design I would choose your logo (simple, but cool), matt's mockup (love the standing boxes), jorge's colors (light, bright, versatile palette that fits the product), joanne's layout (I like where she placed the elements on her design), and pedro's multicolored sticks.
Glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you taking the time to leave some in-depth feedback, I will pass this on to the other designs because I'm sure they will appreciate it! :)
I had this question Abi. First is why chose Shrek characters than normal people but I like your thinking of that? And two which relates to this like should I be a seasoned pro or full time. I got confused so I wanted your opinion
Just to add a little humour into the video and make it fun 😂 A little confused by you second question, what do you mean by 'a seasoned pro or full time'
I like your Orange & White colours. It makes it feel premium and stand out from the shelve. Second one is the Joannes green one that feels clean.
The pop of orange worked down well for the tropical tones 😎!!! Think they all smashed the brief! Make sure you go and vote!!
Abi, Where can I also download that text effect from the beginning of the video?
It's custom made in after effects not a template :)
That apple logo climbed up high in the thumbnail
hahah😂
it has!
This was a fun video Abi. And out of all I definitely was drawn more to your design. However all the designs were so good! Loved seeing the different styles from each designer. It’s crazy to see how different designers interpret the same brief .
Such a fun video wasn’t it! I think that was my favourite part about it… being able to see that each designer can interpret the brief differently and create different results!
The Shrek scene tho 🤣😂
You slayed it Abi! I love how you designed the packaging and chose the colours. I love watching you create patterns and has to be one of the best and iconic moments of brand designing. Have a great week ahead ❤️🔥🤩
(I'm so tempted to participate in a coming session too if my final evaluations weren't so dangerously close 😖🤐)
Haha I can't get enough of that film 😂 Thank you so much, always appreciate the kind words, positivity and support! Hope you have a great week too! 😊💛
Matt's design is my favorite, but if I was actually purchasing the product I would choose Jorge's.
I think they were all to a high standard but Matt's and Jorge's were really great!
🫶
Absolutely love your work! However the chaotic YT thumbnails are little repetitive ;-;
Thank you! Appreciate it 😊 haha yes I can see that, just trying to follow what has worked for me! But will change it up!
@@abiconnick Awesome then! Whatever works for you :)
Overall design:
1. Joanne
2. Jorge
3. Matt
4. Abi
5. Pedro
Best color usage:
Joanne and Abi tied for 1st
Hello Abi, do you edit your videos yourself?
Hey! My partner does :)
Matt’s wordmark reads iNmerscent, with an n followed by an m, quite confusing. The rest of his design is stellar!
could you please provide other designers social media link or TH-cam channels so I could follow them, could learn or take some inspiration from them. The challenge was so good 💖
I don't have their information but I can ask for it and get back to you! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I love your videos and you are pretty 😍
@@deviprasadbiswal9779 Thank you :)
Although I love each of these designs, I find myself being drawn to Jorge's simple design. Matt's design was a favourite too.
Yes, a lot of the time simple is best and Jorge's for sure shows that!
I dont really agree with with you on the changing the black text color, I dont really think it wouldve matched with other colors as much as it did with black, other than that jorge’s work is the one that made the brand look expensive and luxurious!
If there's one thing I've taken from this video it's that design is so subjective, so I can completely see your point of view! Jorge's was great!
1. Matt 2. Jorge Really just love your design the most though!
Artistically speaking Matt or Joanne are the winners here but for the shelf appeal abi is honestly the best. Beautifully simplistic. Idk which direction to vote!
I think Matt’s and Joanne’s are really creative! But all are a really high standard. I appreciate it thank you ☺️
This video is really special the idea of it was so unexpectable and so exciting .
I think Joanne worked with the riskiest direction and still managed to make it look very good and when we put the four designs together Joanne's design just stands out and grabbs the most attention at least my attention that why I will vote for her the only question i got is why she used a flamingo ? maybe that's in the vid but im too lazy to read lol .
Anyway abi your channel is really killing it your videos are getting better and better i keep getting amazed by the quality of the videos. you have come a long way I saw your very first videos and I was like WOW you have upgraded a lot like A LOT . KEEP IT UP .
Glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate the kind words ☺️ come play agree, Joanne pulled it off! Thank your for the support!!!
wouldn't it be better to share the identity of these designers so they can get hiring opportunities from this
Something I didn't consider on this video as I wasn't sure they'd be comfortable being on camera, but I'd be more than happy to in the future!
She is criticizing their designs here too, I wouldn't have shared that information either. I see it more as an opportunity to grow, as a designer, if I was them. It's also interesting to see what thoughts people have in the comments.
@@momonatu4998 Hopefully my criticism came off more as constructive and helpful!
@@abiconnick It definitely did, no worries about that! I know, I sweat a lot when I have to tell my opinion and people nowadays have such a thin skin, it's really difficult sometimes to put it in "right" words for them. I think you did a great job and it takes a lot of courage, because I would be so afraid to tell my opinion, since a couple of times my questions and thoughts have completely been misunderstood on IG by a couple of people, while, in fact, they were only offended by my ignorance trying to unterstand more their work, nothing else. I think that all the hating that goes around is making people blind to the point that they can't distinguish between a genuine question from a hater. That's why I don't ask much anymore. These are hard times for exchanges. I am so thankful that you exist and teach us so much! It is super constructive to me.
@UC0MZkOP68vs6OXLAWJY581A Wow! I gave a feedback inside the link already. Your design amazed me a lot! I really need to stress this: it was so original and so puzzling in a good way I told you I would buy the product only because of the packaging! Ahahahah. Great design! It wowed me XD
I like your editing sister
Thank you! My partner who is within the business does all of the editing!! So hats off to him 😎
@@abiconnick ohh that's good .. I was follow you but you don't me follow back on Instagram 😊😊
What I like about your video's is the way you breakdown & explain the design process in a fun & engaging way. And all those designs look amazing....😍
Appreciate it because A lot of time and effort goes into make sure the videos are informative but also fun and engaging! Thank you 😊
Matt did very good !
Thanks!!
matt's dsgn luv it
It was a good one!
I love Jorge's font, it feels clean and premium 👌But Abi you absolutely smashed it out the park with that design 😍
Loved his logo!! Did you go and vote?! Thank you for watching, appreciate the kindness!🧡
I'm sold already to all the designs 😍😍😍
I used to compare myself to others, because i tought their skills / draw, whatever...was better then mine. Finally, i changed my perspective :D
Great to hear you've changed your perspective!
Matt - but Daym gurl, you were right about the stiff competition! Your critiquing on all entries was On POINT!!!! Honestly, your work is outstanding and I totally vibe with your entry. If I can't choose you, I choose Matt!!!! Thanks, Abi... great content as always!
Matt's was great! What I like is that everyone has different favourites in the comments, shows just how subjective design is! I appreciate your kind words, thank you 😊
Agree here! I agree also very much with the critiques! Matt has missed a bit of unity in the design, I feel, but the pacakging design was genius!!! I would choose Abi for consistency and aesthetics. Jorge and Joanne were also very very good, but there are patterns in their designs that I have already seen elsewhere. Jorge's idea is genius but maybe the fact that it is so simple, it resembles something already seen in the past? Pedro's reminds me of snow in winter.. XD I am sorry, but I can't but genuinely think of snow when looking at the white points on blue background. Wondering why he did that.
This wonderful, amazing and gorgeous woman deserves more subscribers 🫶You could tell that she puts time and effort in her videos ❤️ Your filmography skills have transformed since the beginning of your channel in an unimaginable way! You really inspire me!
Oh you’re so kind!!! So grateful that we managed to get a community of 100k!! Thank you so much for the kind words, this year was all about taking this channel to the next level and a lot of time and energy has gone into it, so it’s lovely to hear comments like this! Thank you🧡
I agree Maria! These videos are so legit! 👌👌👌
@@michaelangsten3488 Thank you! :)
All 5 designs are absolutely fantastic. How do I hire these designers for graphic design projects?
I agree, they are great! You can use the platform here: bit.ly/3KPz3Lq 😊
@@abiconnick Thankyou
Hello Abi, I kinda like the logotype and illustration. Could it be possible I get list of skillshare courses to help me with that?
Courses coming soon! But not on Skillshare, on my own website :)
I loooove theses videos! I hope you still read the comments on these not so recent ones because it would be sooo great if you brought this series back!
Yes i do! Thank you, and I will make a note of it!
I trust you're a good designer cuz all good designers wear glasses like that
haha they are just blue light blockers 😂
This Creative Doesn't miss man. In the heat of battle she doesn't miss. in the heat of challenge she doesn't miss.
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
thanks it was really usefull
All great, I think your one is the best. Your logo is great and I feel like the packaging says diffuser more than the others. Great all around though!
Thanks so much!! They all did a great job! Was great to see how other designers tackle the same brief 😅
I like your's the best and my second choice would be Jorge.
Thank you!! Jorge had such a nice colour palette! They all smashed it🥵
So hard to choose a winner, they were all incredible! ❤️
Yes they were! All different styles as well
I honestly look at your thumbnails and ask myself the same questions 😅
well thanks... can't say they don't work tho!
Hello can you design
All designs somehow looks like were made by the same person 🤔
Maybe because they all followed the same brief?
I would say MATT
That design seems to be a lot of peoples favourite!
@@abiconnick yess what i liked the most is that he used the letters to create the full design which is very creative, i also really liked joanne definitely an artist to create these illustrations but the branding gives me more of a shampoo or bath products vibes idk🤣💛
Thank you @@noorxkwt 😍
I think a video where you design an album or a podcast cover, I think it would be interesting. Have you ever did something like that? (Your videos are really entertaining)
An album cover would be so so cool! never done anything like that! and thank you 😊
It's really nice to see a creative sponsored video, great idea and execution. It was really hard to choose a favorite design, I can see the appeal of DesignGuru, hoping to able to join it in the near future.
Really appreciate this comment because we always push our sponsors to let us do want we want otherwise we simply won't do the video! Having that creative freedom to make it fun and entertaining instead of a sit down 10 minute long advertisement it what's important to us!
Thanks a great book behind you Atomic Habits
One of the best!!!
Matts stands out the most to me, it's funky bright and very much eye catching, it says pick me up and take me home.
Thank you! 😊
Keep giving us videos like this. 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
More to come :)
Hello Abi, i love watching your videos, and i can say the last one is super cool and very useful for any designer.
Your competation made me to work more creative than what i did before.
i really want you to be winner, but i really love Joannes design, thanks you attention
Thank you for the kind words 😊 Joanne's is great!
This is so interesting to see! I have a question tho: do you have any tips on developing one’s style. I dont feel like I have a style myself and this makes designing hard
A good designer's style will be born from the zeitgeist. Understanding trends and how to stay ahead of them. Whats the point of developing a style if its always out of date 3 years later. Illustrators need a style, good designers need to pioneer, read the room and spiral out into the contemporary. Remember a designer is only as good as the sites he is influenced by.
SO I have a video here: th-cam.com/video/QX9Niok15bI/w-d-xo.html but it is a but old. My number one recommendation would be doing passion projects! You can be as experimental as you want and find out what you're best at and enjoy the most!
How do you make these moke up packageing??
Have a video on mock ups here: th-cam.com/video/UdaZN5jA-2s/w-d-xo.html Should help 😊
Abi! I really love competition videos like these! Coincidentally, Ben Marriott just posted a motion design competition video where he competed against another well known TH-camr, Jake Bartlett, and it was so entertaining! It is really interesting to see how other designers interpret the same brief. I would love to see more videos like these, and I think it would also be cool if you competed another designer/TH-cam educator like yourself--that way we could watch both of your go through the process
It was fun wasn't it! Challenges are a really fun way to make informative content! My partner who edits the videos loves Jake, he's taken many of his after effects courses! This is a great Idea, I'll work on it 👀
I am not a designer but this is fun to watch🙂🙂
Glad to hear, thank you!
Joanne
Just a question out of context, how did you managed your eyesight while being a full time on-screen worker?
This is actually a great question and something I don't think about enough! But i take walks at lunch time and try to limit screen time after work hours!
I use Night shift on my iMac. use a good screen iMacs have great screens. Dark UI with flat dark grey as my wallpaper. Pro tips and avoid reflections. paint your study dark grey! Dont design on a cheap monitor.
awesome video abi...I have really learnt alot
Thank you! Glad this type of content can help😎
I like the last one but I loved yours the most!
Thank you, appreciate it! 😊
I enjoyed watching this video Abi, great job as always! I'm late to the party but I would definitely purchase Matt's package. It gives me topical rhythm vibes and the added abstract letters in the back is a dope move. They only thing I would do different is change the text color to a navy blue or the teal color on the barcode for a more cohesive feel. All designers did an amazing job! Yours is exceptional as always also. Keep creating Queen!😊
Can you do a video on how you edit TH-cam videos x
I actually have a video editor!! X
I think the 4th (last) design is best among all of them. Didn't liked your logotype & color choice. It's my personal preference. 3rd one is also really amazing but that green doesn't work that well.
for me u and Joanna was the best😘👌🏻
Joanna's was great! Thank you :)
Thank you for being so inspiring ✨❤️
Aw thank you, I'm glad you think so 😊💛
Absolutely love your design!!!
Thank you! Really appreciate it :)
I love Matt's with your logo and the navy font like you said! That would look amazing
🙌🙌🙌
He did a great job! Was really creative😊
@@DesignerMatt you did so good! I loved it!
My favorite is Jorge and Joana 😍
They smashed it out of the park!!!
Abi’s design was by far the best
Thank you 😊
Hard to choose between joanne and pedro !! Good job guys ❤
They are both great! Really like Joanne's art! But Pedro's colour palette works so well!
@@abiconnick yeah pedro used a very consistent palette which made the design more attractive
I love your videos , it is so helpful
Glad you think so! :)
Is It Tuesday Today?🙄
