Someone called you the Bob Ross of photoshop, and I couldn't agree more. Your videos are so relaxing and informative, 25 minutes feels like 5. Cant wait for the next upload!
Hey guys, some of you wanted a project that I went a little deeper into my process on, so I've been working for the past couple of weeks on this new in-depth video series! Would love to know what you think about this style of video. It's a little longer than normal, so I hope that's okay. Don't forget to share this series with someone who could benefit from it!
just blown away at the mastery of your craft. Your talk-through of WHY you are doing things (composition/grouping/hierarchy/focal point/highlights/shadows) is where the knowledge nuggets are for me. Don't stop!
I have been in a design rut for awhile now, seriously like on the brink of quitting design altogether…but after coming across your video randomly, you made me fall in love with the art all over again, thank you! I now want to learn more and be a better designer!
In my trade, I had to design a logo for a hypothetical brand. I like to think this channel helped me understand hierarchy in design when it came to that project. I’m not even a graphic designer yet I’ve sat through this series in full multiple times lmao. You’re amazing, Mr. Shepherd
that was great, but I really miss the bag photo. If there was some way to add that as a layer of light at the end, I think it would make it more realistic. But great design and video, and thought process!
😍I LOVE YOUR DESIGNING at first I didn't even like designing but after watching you I love it.Your the BEST designer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your videos. I’m a senior graphic designer/art director and sometimes we just forget why did we choose that carreer in the first place. Refreshing and revigorating, you make me wanna do better at work
I'd like to learn more about the small tricks you use - like blending modes, masks, shadows etc. The way you make flat objects sit together so well. Can we get tutorials on that please?
Usually a logo needs to have an invisible border without any elements comming into that said border (safe zone is what it's called). Although I like the pan over the logo this would highly not pass in the real world. Also the logo will be cut in half when the package is oppened. I would suggest placing the logo either s bit below and resizing the pan or even placing it on top of the word "pancake" (of course reduce the size of the text). Lastly the overall look and feel is a bit to "happy" and less "handmade". I would add either a grainy texture to the overall design as well as desaturate the colors (especially the red. It pops a bit too much imo). The rest is top notch 👌
@@GeoStuff555 lol I'm very aware of that. I just wanted to share some changes I would personally do to Brandon's design accompanied with justification :)
This is brilliant Brandon! 👏🏻This kind of presentation of the design process of a packaging design brings so much value. Keep it up and we are waiting for more videos 😉(moving on to part 2 & 3 🏃🏻♀️😁)
Insanely good, this is so underrated. Idk anything about package designing but I think syrup over the main focus "pancake mix" would make it even better, but thats just my opinion with no experience of package designing 😅
You are by far the best TH-camr in this category. You’re genuine, humble, informative, thorough and you don’t gatekeep anything. I am grateful that the Lord has blessed you with these wonderful gifts because you are helping so many of us see what’s possible within our own ability and potential. Keep up the GREAT WORK and may you continue to reap any and all the benefits of your hard, honest work ❤ Cheers!
Thank you so much Parker!! Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I'm happy all the content I'm sharing is doing some good in the world. I wish you the best of luck on your design journey! 😄 Really appreciate your support
@@RealFaodail You can't sharpen something that hasn't been given to you. God gave Brandon this desire to be artistic and it's been Brandon that's been diligent and devoted to increasing and growing that seed. Now look at the fruit Brandon has produced through his relentless hard work. Hallelujah, to YHVH be all the glory!
@@RealFaodail Why mock something you claim to be non-existent? Look how wicked you are to come here and intervene in a friendly display of appreciation between two people. What a miserable life you must live going around into the comments of loving, thankful viewers, that give God the glory, mocking the very God you ignorantly and arrogantly deny. Wicked and shameful. I don't remember this conversation including you, yet you're so desperate for debate and attention with a man of God. Only foolish display foolishness so it's fitting coming from you. Goodbye.
amazing design !!!! nect time when you use the light direction circle i found out if you adjust it exactly in the middle on that circle of the dot in this light tool you will get so very very intresting results and more so so so slow away from the center, see how it goes
minor tip i've just thought of for the lighting on the mockup. If you put a black and white filter over the starting image without the front and back words, then make that semi-transparent and layer that on top of the rest of the image, you could keep the rest of the bag's texture, adding the folds and creases to the character of the design
You are amazing ive been watching your videos for a while now and your really inspiring and you just keep going no matter he hate. Keep going, your amazing!
i would definetly grab this pack if it was in my convience store. I´m from germany so i don`t think i will ever see this, but damn you can sell me design lessons even though i`m a painter of walls and ceilings.. think im still gonna learn a lot , like marketing and artistry composition from your videos to use in my life. love your videos im hooked
Only major change I would make is when the bag is opened, the logo will be likely ripped too. You want them to see that a remember it every time they grab that mix. Great job
Hi Brandon, I’m really liking your channel! I’m fairly new to graphic design (hobby for a few years but now looking to make it a career). I’m leaning towards packaging design...wondered if you could recommend any good online courses? Thanks 👍
when I saw that logo, I imagined it on the front of an old-timey general store, like the kind you see in westerns. I feel like that would have brought out the more antique feel of the brand, espescially if it was done in a sort of charcoal-stick style
You can see that in the logo it says “original” so it would be cool to see other mixes of the pancake mix possibly like “Mixed Berry” or “Chocolate Chip” but just an idea!
I love the way it turned out! It’s always such a pleasure to watch you create such amazing designs. One thing that caught my eye is that the logo at the top is a little bit to high because if you rip open the package, half of the logo will be gone. But other than that I love it!! 🫶🏼
I was thinking about making a shading series at some point, so it's good to know there's interest in it! What particular topics would you like me to cover?
@@BrandonShep Practical videos, We want to know what the customer is asking and what we should do as if we were in the job market and thank you so much bro
It really just depends on the project. I usually have 3 approaches though. 1) Start with a bunch of quick sketches to get ideas. 2) Start with a particular asset/idea I know I want in the design and then work from that. 3) Sometimes, the idea just pops into my head almost instantly (but it almost always changes to some degree as I work on things). Either way, I think it's hard to get an idea of if your concept will work or not until you try it out. That's why I tend to try out different assets quickly before I buy them, and I'll often setup the entire scene out of preview stock photos, get client approval on the content and layout, and then replace everything with the fully licensed photos. Saves a lot of time and money!
I dont realize that i’ve been watching this for almost 30 minutes without even getting bored
That's a good sign :) Thanks for watching!

I definitely agree! It is really easy to understand the way he explains
Not nearly as soothing tho lol
Benny productions is 10x better

The design honestly looks like a game poster. It's so detailed and refreshing in the eyes. I mean delicious.
This might be the most satisfying video ive ever watched
Glad you liked it, Steven 😀. What kind of other videos would you like to see?
One thing I notice is that when the package is opened the logo is cut in half. Other than that though this is such a great break down video.
I really love it. the walkthrough is good, the execution is even better.
Thanks a lot, Sean! Glad you liked it

Every time I thought you were getting close to something finished you kept going! But just getting better and better. This was incredible to watch
Heart of a graphic designer & mind of a photo editor
Bro this guy is crazy, i have never seen somebody use photoshop like this. W Brandon 👏👏👏
The emboss part about syrup blew my mind
19:00 Yes I’m glad ur contrasting theme!! Also strawberries and white chocolate just work, same with blueberries and syrup

One suggestion: put the net weight above the pankake mix text but of course make it smaller
This is amazing! Hope you do some more in depth videos like this one!
