Whoever designed this video is a monster. Beautiful visuals.
I would say that there is a lot of hard work behind 6 minute video design, Thanks @A.M. Arteaga
that's right
........ why monster
and there are still people who dislike, like wtf
@@bluenekostudios901 - Just slang. Back in the day, there was "bad" "off the hook" "groovy".....
so much value and knowledge in this short video
Hey friends Graphic is Here!
The editing is spot on
Imagine if school was like this. Every subject had visuals like this. Holy shit education would be effective.
my dream :))
Is it not already-
These visuals are time saving for teachers but ineffective for students in some practical subjects
@@hassan.abbas69 for 6 to 10 year olds it would be 100% effective, because it would catch children's attention for sure.
@@jutyubxD it will for sure but in such an early age we can't play with their health
This is so satisfying to watch.

I thought we learned this in middle school

I'm now convinced, of all the skills you can learn for free by watching TH-cam videos, graphic design is the easiest. Because the people making videos teaching graphic design aren't making a bland Powerpoint presentation with bad audio and perhaps a guy who barely speaks English, but a show case of good examples of graphic design alongside the lessons.
The lessons aren't just being made, but they are being designed for the viewer.
agreed
True

I’m a law student and my exam is in 3 hours and I’m watching this 🙂
Nothing wrong with a brief study break, haha. Good luck on your exam!
Unpopular opinion-if it's not your passion get out if you can :) speaking as a law grad
Did you pass?
@@mariatariq5095 its been 5 years since I've been working as a lawyer and this video has me seriously contemplating my life choices. Is 28 too late?
Sidhart not at all. Sounds cliche but it’s never too late to go after what you want. These days it’s common to go through career changes anyway, especially with everything going on in the world now. I’m 31 and in the process of starting over.
I’m a freshman who really aspires to be a graphic designer…I really had no idea where to really start, but this video was so appealing and simple yet easy to understand. I learned lots from this, thanks!
I'm so glad!
Same here! I really want to change my career and become a graphic designer as I love creativity and art
Omg it teaches you my 4 years of university in graphic design right away! I’m jealous! ENJOY!
You mean there is a degree in Graphic Design only??
@@innocentanderson2830 basically a bachelor in design, but in your second year you choose which stream to pursue. This person may have chosen graphics, but you can also do product, fashion, interior etc. depending on where you go
Fortnite nuts
Viewed in 2020, In 7 months from now I will begin to learn everything that is needed to become a graphics designer.
Thank you for the amazing video and I hope I can do cool stuff like that in the future.
Hi dex. We can achieve this.... #2020
you go human!
I’m on the same road as you brotha let’s go!!!!
5 more months to go lad :)
Same here! Seems like plenty of us are on the road to graphic design education in college :)
Just wow. Amazing video. Clean, simple, straight to the point. I love it.

Wish yu good luck mate 👊👍
I would not miss any of my lectures if teaching was this creative...such a visual treat
Thanks! We are glad that you enjoyed it!
I tried to find on TH-cam the best tutorials in graphic design. I came across this one and I'm so glad I did. In such a short amount of time, you have presented and explained the theories that I have been struggling the most regarding to graphic design. Now, I have a better understanding to why things are the way they are. Thank you so much for the wonderful visuals. Indeed the best graphic design tutorial. Great channel.
Easily Understandable, Clean, Clear, and easy to follow. I use this video for my Introduction to Graphic Design class. Just Awesome.
My whole design course in 6 minutes
lmaooo you must feel cheated
I do want this series to continue...

u have worked harder than my whole art institute and i get all this knowledge for free. I didn't learn any of this in my class. also it's so satisfying to watch, makes learning fun. kudos to the video editor and the narrator
never knew a tutorial could be this perfect
I'd love to be a graphic designer but I'm quite bad at it. Your videos are encouraging and make it appear simple.
thank you so much!
Klumb Dolt - Sometimes simplicity is the most difficult thing to do so it's alright
Im a full-time designer, and self taught. My advice would be to watch videos like this to learn the vocab, also the different theories involved in graphic design: such as color and Gestalt theory. And no matter what kind of design you're interested in, look at all types! Even if you are only designing posters currently, still look at website design because you can learn so much just by looking at good design. Pay attention to all the little details that make the overall design beautiful and effective: typography, hierarchies, color. Pinterest and Behance are great sites to browse modern and trendy designs. A lot of people start with Photoshop, but don't limit yourself to just PS, Illustrator, for example, is amazing for clean crisp design and vector based graphics.
Hi! Im 15 years old and im interested in going into Graphic design. Ive done alot of research and some of it is hard to understand like what subjects do I take in college (uk) to go into graphic design (the internet doesnt specify) and what does it require you to do? What are the things that you do other than design for websites? Also how much does the work pay if you dont mind answering :) (based on your experience or incentive?)
Thankyou so much
@@Munooy I am currently undertaking a degree in Graphic design, I would like to first congratulate you for being so young but yet knowing what you would like to do career-wise.. already you are way ahead of the game so relax for you there is no rush. For what I can see its a good job to have and the money is good, so career-wise a good choice. I am a mature student and I used to be a street artist, when I went to the University open day I took a portfolio of street art - and spoke in-depth about how long it takes me and what each piece meant etc.. this impressed the course rep, but as you can tell this wasn't academic. I had previously got a National Diploma in Media Studies and it was equal to 2 a-levels - which is what is needed to get on the course for year 1. I would recommend when you get nearer the time, to check what is needed and complete the required course or a-level beforehand. I want to encourage you to take an interest in art - draw and sketch and look at typography - this will just give you a slight upper-hand when starting the course.. I wish you all the best, J

I studied in multimedia applications and i can use all tools in 2 3 adobe that i "mastered" ... Now i run my own wedding card online shop...
Unfortunately, I'm not creative enough to created my own design.. I used to ask my client to rewrite or draw the design they want and I'll illustrated it and make it even better.. in the same time, it's was hide my own weakness that i don't creative enough to do my own design only based by they words.
know how to used all tools and do almost everything would be nothing if i dont creative in my own way.. Its so frustrating and stressful... but now i guess i need to learn from basic again and start learn more about element of graphics.
Thank you for this video, its so satisfying to watch and easy to understand.
Love from Malaysia. 💕
so you don't have to be creative if you take a designing course ohhh. fair point!
Fun fact: I'm from Malaysia too.

thanks for simplifying this
it's a bit all over the place, as emphasis is supposed to be part of the design principles, and this video only covers a fraction of design principles. it talks more about the usage and elements of design
This video tutorial is really informative for beginners especially for me, thank you for the video.
This is the most beautiful video I've ever seen. It is just so satisfying to watch the animations!
Definitely took notes from this. It even helped me research more and took more notes from that. Took me days to finish watching this video with all the notes I took.
Melinda Burns this is my plan too! Now I found this video and I’ll take notes separately, excellent information founded
Hi
Amazing. Always thought that learning design is like the hardest thing and I was just planning to hire someone. Now, there is a future in 6 mins. Now, I can hire and do it myself. Just efforts needed. Good job guys.
One of the best tutorial I have ever seen !! It's like learning a whole month in school in less than 10 min.
Thank you so much for this series on graphic design. I've just seen this one and it's so informative and well-made, apart from the fact that it taught me a lot of stuff. Thank you !

Every tutorial should be explained like this!
I am a second-year college student who is starting to be interested in design. While viewing, I was already impressed at who designed the video, which is why I wanted to learn more about visual design.
I really love the style of these videos. I like how you use basic shapes and light-pleasing-to-the-eye colors.
Simple, Beautiful and Precise!
Iqbal Yusra rightly said
Learned more from this video that my college intro course that turned me off from graphic design.
Holy crap...This was everything I wanted in like 6 minutes...Thank you!
I'm an SEO analyst but my childhood dream was into drawing and creativity. I just wanted to bring my passion into profession, so starting today with these start-up videos, the thing that motivated me to jump into my old passion was Gary Vaynerchuk and his words:
"EVERY SECOND YOU SPEND THINKING ABOUT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS, IT IS TAKING AWAY FROM TIME THAT YOU CAN CREATE SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF. SPEND THAT ENERGY ON YOUR VISIONS AND EXECUTE. "
P.S its an awesome video TEAM GCFLearnFree, much thanks! :)
lots of love, all the way from Karachi, Pakistan❤️
Wow, i don't usually comment on videos but i couldn't resist showing my appreciation to this masterwork, really amazing!
Simple, interactive and really helpful. Thank you, you guys are amazing.
Our pleasure!
this video explained so many tiny details which would have been difficult to understand so effortlessly, i wish i had a school like this where teachers would teach us this way.
I am surprised and amazed that how simply you can explain those topics, which I could never imagine in my career.
marvelous.
keep it up.
I subscribed your channel.
:)
This is a good video, with tons of tips! I'd like to see a practical part, like starting from scratch designing a facebook banner or something, using these video techniques!
How can someone put this much information in 6 minutes. unbelievable
this video literally changes the way you observe things around you , I started noticing however appreciating the work of art around me.
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for the positive feedback.
It's so aesthetically pleasing but at the same time full of valuable information. I'm watching this over and over again! Thank you for the video!!
A video that actually made me learn and concentrate.
I’m exploring the possibility of majoring in graphic design and this video really helped me realize just how satisfying and fun it will be!!!
The Person who edited this video is a genius! ❤️
This is very good to watch
Thank you so much for this video! I've been struggling to figure out what I want to do after I leave school. I've looked at architecture, different types of engineering, product design, even secondary education. They've all caught my eye for various reasons but there all involve some sort of element that put me off them (for example the amount of maths involved 🙃) but this... This might be my thing! I love drawing, designing and playing with composition, I don't know why I didn't look graphic design earlier! I think I've finally found my thing
Edit: Also, beautiful video by the way, it looks gorgeous ✨
Thank you so much! Good luck with everything!
So i am stumbled upon this after searching for beginner's video and this is just what i need. I feel like a professional already after seeing this video.
I know the fundamentals of design but I watch it anyway because it is so satisfying to watch

I learned so much from this short course. Thank you!
so flow
Watching your videos is always a great pleasure :) BRAVO !
Hey friends Graphic is Here!
Are you trying to promote your channel? You know, doing that actually makes people dislike you.
I’m starting a social initiative with my friends to improve digital learning for high school students in my country and I’m in charge of building the site and the social media platforms and as someone who has no background in design this video is a godsent
Thank you 💜
That´s awesome! We´re happy to help! Best of luck with your project!
I am a fashion designer and we have to learn some aspects of graphic work in college. From then on I had a great interest in graphic design, and now I am thinking of going in-depth into graphic design.

Thank you for the visual order tip, the backwards "N"
Top to bottom, then diagonally go top then down again
This is the last video of beginning graphic designing that I saw and I want to see more. I am very interested in graphic designing and I want to take graphic designing when I go to college. This whole 'series' was very pleasing to watch with the great animation and it was very informative, calm, and straight to the point. Now, I just want to go to college immediately and learn more about graphic designing.
Thank you so much for creating quality contents like this, It was really helpful and it made complex topics simple. :)
'A line connects 2 or more points and can be different sizes' Now this really is the fundamentals
Thank you for such a high quality, fun and easy to absorb video for beginners! Much appreciated. I am loving the background music.
