Been following you for almost 2 years, and these were the best 2 years of my life 🌸 I learned so much from you and I just want to say thank you! Thank you for your ideas, your smile and happiness that radiates in every single video🥹 I never felt so in touch with a stranger on TH-cam that I never met! You’re amazing 🌺 Love you 🌸
Thanks for sticking around Maria!! Really appreciate your comments and the love you share! Glad I get to share my journey with others! 🧡
I’m a designer myself and the best thing to do is to take your time sometimes you don’t get your best idea until after a few good and bad ones
I just started learning graphic design. I had a self doubt about my creativity and design ideas. But after watching your video , I feel like "I can do it." Thank you !
Glad I could help! 😊
Hey …how is your graphic design course going on ? I also just start learning graphic design and having self doubt … can you please give me some tips and idea ?
Thank you
Your videos made the biggest changes at my career, forever grateful for the amazing work, Abi!! Have a great week!
Comments like this not only make my day but my weeks, this it exactly why I do what I do, so thank you 😊💛
I'm having the same problem, which cost my confidence, and I stopped designing. But after, I watched this video. I am pumped up again. Thank you, Abi!
Great to hear!
I loved the video!
I'm studying design now and, here in Brazil, there is a lot of designers that don't make any research about the context in the briefing. Thank you!
Another big fun from Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤
Thank you 😊
Also from Ghana ....her fun as well
Ghanaians rise up!
I'm struggling with completing my Graphic design degree, and seeing this videos like these motivates me to complete it. Thank you so much 🙂

You're literally the best abi! Thank you so much for existing ❤️

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel and content! You are an amazing designer and you deliver the informartion in a way that is so easy to understand and also they are very fun to watch for the way you present the information.

I just started watching your videos and I love your content girl!! Definitely have inspired me with designing...you're teaching things I haven't even learned while getting my degree
So nice to hear, thank you :) Glad I can help!
In all your videos, you explain everything I learnt in course and still continiuing in. Im glad Im still being rubbed in the face with the process of how to provide a client with all the information 'needed' 😂oh and Im thankful so much for some of the videos where you explain about not overcomplicating the details of logos and using examples from well known brands to back up your point about sticking to the basic idea of how a logo is made and it's pattern to why it still sticks out and continues to. Thank you so much for the information Abi!! Continue with the explanation cause these are SOO NEEDED 💯 Im a young graphic designer wanting to start my own projects and Im loving your intel and experienced knowlege to help me understand the wider image of this career

Hi! I just binge-watched your video to inspire myself as a designer again and planning to redesign my old project along with your video. I really love your content and how you structure every video. If possible, I'd love to see a video about starting over in graphic design in 2023. Thank you. 🤍

Most welcome 😊
Hi Abi! Loved the video, as always they are so good!!! I was wondering what is the difference for you between Milanote and Notion? Or does it work together? As I saw you used both in your process! Thank youuuuu
Thank you 😊 I actually use both, I like to use Milanote as more of a place I dump all my ideas, then in Notion I organised everything and present it cleint if needed. Milanote is internal between me and them team, and Notion is for sharing with the cleint. (hope this helps 😊)
it literally took me 6 hours of designing infographs just bc of my imposter syndrome
you still got it done tho! Many would have quit,
Good Job!!
Thanks!
Darling,
New Subscriber From: Sri Lanka.
can you please make a video on making a portfolio for designers with not many work to show, how to organise, how to make the projects look neat and not clumsy. I find myself throwing all the projects in the pages not knowing how to keep it flowing and easy to read.
i just fell in love with your account. I've graduated many years ago but unfortunately there weren't many videos that were as helpful to answer my confusions in making designs, sooo i ended up moving away from the major. thank you for your efforts.
Sure thing 😊
Thanks a lot!!! You’re the best
You’re a gem. My brand has literally improved and my clients are now so pleased with my jobs all thanks to you! So glad I found you❤
So glad to hear 😊
This one is very related to mine too 🤣😁❤️
Well, young Abi, while I'm confortable writing (speaking) spanish, I suggest to go out and get some good ideas from nature. Be healthy and successful! PD: Thank you for sharing your knowledge and resources! 👍🏻💪🏻
Nothing beats going out in nature to generate some ideas, I certainly agree with that! 😊
Hi! Im a Brazilian designer and I really love and identify with your work, you teach and inspire me a lot! Could you please tell me if do you do any grid method for your logos? And how's the process? Thankss
So glad to hear, thank you 😊I actually don't use grids when designing logos, it's not really my style, but I can do a video on it?
@Abi Connick thanks for answer me ♡ I will appreciate if you could do a video about it ♡
This is how I feel sometimes, drained after thinking for hours and not doing anything.
cool video)
I think I know you from British council English program you used to be a teacher 🎉❤❤❤ you're Molly right!?
you look awesome!
Oh thank you!
what if I don't do this as a job but for personal or school projects. The business aspect of your video really gave me an insight of a professional designer, but what about for someone who just wants to create for themselves and or others but still has those moments looking at the blank screen 🧐
Hello, I liked the tablet you use on design, how can I get mine
❤ srilanka fan
Nice video ❤
Thanks 🤗
Dear Abi, I will starting a DIY Business, have bought me a lot of materials and my plotter, my domain and emailaccount but I stuck to begin because I want first have a Logo and a website where I can share with my clients. I am not sure if I should do a paid hosted website (if this, it shoulf be perfect from begin) or starting easier with a Linktree or something else, which is free but don't allow a much to be creative and with more functions like a paid hosting website. And I also stuck doing a Logo, I have one which I did with Canva, maybe I will do it on Ai, but it is not that what I really want. Should I use this for the beginning that I can start and then later when I redesign it with announcing it as the rebranding, or it is better to have from begin the right design?
Where have you been ma'am. Dont disappear too long please❤
Busy writing my brand design course ✏️
Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤️
Appreciate the support 😊
Good
Awesomeness! how deep do you go into their products if them? do you ask them to make everything available to you and do you have a ceiling of hours willing to invest in said research?
many thanks!
So with brand strategy I start by having a call with the client and ask them a bunch of questions about their business. Then go away and do my research. There are 3 stages to this:
1.Brand Foundations: the core of the brand. This is where I uncover a brands Mission, purpose, values and goals. These are rooted within the business and influence everything the brand does.
2. Brand Positioning -I do market research, analyse competitors and identify the businesses target audience and brand personality.
3. Design solutions - based on the information I’ve gained from the previous 2 steps, I’ll provide visual solutions for the brand in the form of Mood boards.
Ahh got right to the end before realizing the entire vid was an ad
How do we know that we are ready to give the service of logo design and our logo are good?
Lots of love from nepal .i wnna learn from you about designning.
Have a course coming out soon 😊
@@abiconnick how to get clients in freelancer .I'm fresher.
Ideas live around us
yes to this!
Hello! What tablet do you use?
Do you create moodboards for every design work you're working on or just those with branding? Genuinely wondering.
I specialise in branding so more often then not they're the projects I'm working on, but if I'm going something like packaging or social media post creation I still personally create mood boards as it gives me something to reference but also shows the client the design direction.
@@abiconnick That's true. I guess what makes creating mood boards so frustrating for me is that it takes me such a long time to do it when I just want it to end faster so I can start doing the actual designs. It makes me give up halfway the mood board process because it feels like I'm procrastinating or it's eventually just a waste of time -- which it isn't, really. Just my emotions acting up.
(Also, wow! You replied! Keep sparkling. Big fan over here. Thank you for everything.
TBH, Not that helpful. You found out and highlight the problem very well as it resonated with me. But the solution had nothing to do with the visual parts of the design. You started talking about the coming up with the brand strategy not with solving the visual part which is where i am still stuck and makes me hate designing so much. I am on a point where i believe you really are born with creativity not some muscle thing which you read on the blog posts and other discussions. At pace which i design websites is totally not practical for a real world market scenario. I am too slow to come up with unique designs.
Yeah man she didn’t address the visual issue we have, I guess all we can do is just practice practice and more practice 🥲
I feel you bruhhh!
True i agree with you but she still helps in many ways so no complaints
To be honest a lot of it is just practice and looking at logos that work / trying to figure out why they work. Things eventually just start to click.
Hello Abi... Thank you for such informative content.
I have a question. When should I buy better equipment for better design quality. I'm still using my Instagram doing some passion projects trying to build my business portfolio but I feel like I really need some more equipment.
Glad it was helpful 😊 When you say 'better equipment' what are you referring to? A new computer?
@@abiconnick Yes exactly
@@teboangel is your current computer slowing you down or effecting your workflow whatsoever?
@@abiconnick Yes... I'm using a Microsoft laptop... When I run Adobe Illustrator for a long time, it crashes. So it's kind of annoying.
@@teboangel If you have the extra cash to be able to do it, then go for it!
Love from Pakistan
thanks abi, which app do u use to edit videos like this
Première pro and after effects I guess 😊
No problem 😊 premiere pro and after effects
❤
At what time does the video start?
can you show me logo save and seend the clinte plse tell me
hi my name is utpal hai i am from india. I like your videos very much, I watch a lot and enjoy, I have learned a lot by watching your videos. I want to know from the perspective of a graphic designer that yes, I know that you use Apple products, so I wanted to know that Apple Magic Mouse and trackpad which is better For easy use ( i love trackped 😁 )
Glad to hear the videos have been helpful 😊 I prefer using a mouse, but it's all personal preference, there's no right or wrong.
Hi! Abi, I am a graphic designer but I really in need of a laptop 🥺🥺🥺
I 😘 love you . ❣️🤞
Hey Abi, I have a question so at the time I am doing my two Instagram accounts one for teaching and one for getting clients by posting projects but thing is its becoming suffocating while managing 9-5, home & work, What do you suggest how should I take it as I am a perfectionist
Hey! Could I ask why you have two accounts for? When you say teaching is this for your job or are you referring to design? 😊
It can be a real struggle at times trying to build a business while in a 9-5, but stages like this can define you, if you can get through this, then we you eventually go full time on your business it will feel easy.
@@abiconnick i have two accounts because I’m one I teach in my mother language for south Asians, and other profile is for sharing my design portfolio and stuff to get potential clients
@@beingsila ah okay! I'd suggest having a sit down and rally thinking what direction you want to go in and just focusing on one for now, until you have more free time in the future :)
where do you get orders on brand identity...plz tell me
Instagram mainly 😊
