This was like a college education in 6 minutes.
and easily explained and not drawn out over a boring professor who is also worn and burnt out
I think the amount of knowledge that college education provides is even less than in this video.
Agree
Micah Buzan istg😂
I'm actually watching this in college right now.
At this point, forget Typography! Tell me how to edit videos so fluidly like that!
yesss
This is called motion graphics, find tutorials on that, and practice. This style of motion graphics is very common nowadays, so you'll most likely bump into tutorials on that.
loool
I know, right? So much goodness in the vid.
so well written! When the font goes bad, Goldilocks gets frazzled and the bear pops up behind her bed. This is golden teaching! ha!
This video seems so much simpler than what my Graphic Design instructor tries to get at. I've got much a clearer picture about the basics through this than the countless projects done in class.
I feel ya on that one.
Preach!
true,,,,
I still feel like schools for Graphic Design learners are a HUGE ripoff. On top of being so expensive, you can get professors that either doesn't put their effort in teaching or makes things so complicated. Better off doing research on it instead.
very true. totally agree
Lol, I sometimes feel really sorry for comic sans. 😂
Same, I even used to love it in the past :(
Watch vsauces video
Comic Sans = for designers that live on the edge ;)
Comic Sans = for designers that are not
Haha me too! Curls and Papyrus is horrible too 😂
Every element of these videos are so well done! As a designer, this makes me want to share this with the people I work closely with that don't have the designer role, so they can get a better understanding of the work I do, the attention to detail I give, and why it all matters. Great work, and thank you!
yes !! I've been updating layouts for non designers looking to improve their work, however they are all reluctant to change. I would love to share these videos to help explain how a design overhaul can greatly improve their work. One client insisted I stick with the Papyrus font and was not sure why I was so against his love for the font.
Feel free to share us!
Hi - I've studied and taught typography for years as part of IT programmes. And I have to say that his video is a little gem - you've captured all the basics of the subject, and more, in a nutshell with very engaging graphics. Well done - and thank you very much!
We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed the video!
Hey! This is a comprehensive video on typography - yet I don't feel bored at any time during the vdo. Great work!
thats great
I love how you combine visual audio and content congruity. What you day matches perfectly what is shown. Amazing!!
I have been aggressively binge-watching your videos just now! I just watched The Basics of Design, Color and Typography and I'm SYKED.
You explain the basics and certainly fill up pretty important holes in my knowledge in them and make me more aware of what I've been already doing by intuition. Now I'll know how to approach a problem or intently make a design more interesting when I have no specific idea!
I've decided to try blogging and some other projects for which I'll need to up my game in graphic design and illustration. I've just found the perfect starter pack, basics that _expand_ to teach us useful concepts and practical tipps!
Thank you!
i like how she interacts with the viewers and the little encouragements she give out. It actually means a lot! Learning can be fun and UNintimidating if the teacher knows how to openly, swiftly engage the students throughout the lesson! 💓💓
Ever since becoming a design student, I started to look at things differently...
Other people: a McDonald's coupon book.
Me: OH WOW that cursive matches that sans serif underneath so well!
(I'm pathetic, I know)
I'm not a design student , but I'm attracted to these things too! I always notice what types of fonts are used or color palettes xD
I'm an artist, so when people look at a drawing or something, I think, "wow, the shading is great! and that color pallete is on point!" I'm
such a nerd -_-
I feel you, people are like: "look how amazing these PRICES are!"
Me: "what great coherence in this design, I should apply it in my designs too"
@@shamoonsaqib LOL SAME
youre not alone. most of the time I always ask "how made this work made attention to people/viewers? why?" on every thing that I see. Curiosity is love =)
You explained everything I need to know to start in 9 mins why almost every one else keeps blabbering way and wasting your time making it even more difficult to understand. Thanks so much, looking forward to more
I'm currently training as a visual story artist, so I normally utilize lighting, colors, shape language, and perspective to create concepts, designs, and storyboards. I find it so interesting that typography exists as an art form dedicated to texts and lines that utilize color and shape language (lots of overlapping fundamentals) to create an emotional response from people. It's awesome to see how the fundamentals of color and design are used in a completely different way that it makes me feel like a total beginner again! Gotta love art! 😁
This video is just perfect.
The graphics, the content, the voice; everything just fits together perfectly.
It's 2020 and this is still one of the most relevant videos about typography, great stuff.
I've seen two videos so far, colour theory and this and loving them so far. It's not only aesthetic but the information is clear and easy to understand (the visuals really help!)
I'm not a designer but would like to learn the basics and these videos seem like a great place to get started
I was trying to find books to look at next but I haven't found one with all these different topics (they're specifically only typography, or only layout etc.) and with good aesthetics too
That was one of the best things I've seen on youTube... I have no idea how you made many things which doesn't happen very often! Thanks a lot!
These graphic tutorials are the most aesthetic ones I've ever watched!!
This is such a precise and well edited video. I was smiling the whole time just looking at the types involved. Thanks! This helped me a lot
note for self:
-Leading: the space between lines
-Tracking: the space between characters
-Kerning: the space between specific characters
thank you! i learned some new things in a short space of time. very well made video
I've been a graphic designer for a long time and I'm heavily into typography. But I've learned alot from this wonderful informative video📹 thank you 😍
LOVE your illustrative thoughtfulness, by giving intuitive examples of everything you try to convey, it's effortless for us viewer to take in and yield the treasures inside the Art Piece. Thanks
I took on a challenge last year and made a logo based entirely in Comic Sans. With a little bit of kerning and tracking adjustment, it looked awesome.
Iam a Visual Communication Design student and this is one of my favorites courses .
Kerning leading hierarchy is some rules to make a good and perfect visual design of typography, you cant see it much but you can feel it
The video, the music and the explanation were really well synchronized. Clear and simple! Thank you for sharing!
This video taught me everything I need to know for my InDesign class in terms of typography in less than 7 minutes while it took about 7 hours in class to explain everything. THANK YOU!
I like these simple animation videos. It's great to sustain eye contact with the video. Simple and cool.
Ive never a enjoyed a TH-cam video more than this. I'm very intrigued by typography.
learn much from your video 😀
Hello,
I just wanted to say that you have a very soothing and pleasant way to speak and I love your videos! I just found it a few minutes ago and subscribed right after watching the first one about color studies! I never knew graphic design could be so interesting if it weren't for your videos and I feel like I could enjoy my three years of graphic design at college thanks to you!
This is much better than just reading the textbook our professor provided for us! Starting to understand more clearly!
years of trying to understand typography, explained in 6 minutes. great video
I keep coming back to watch this video again and again. It's so satisfying!
these videos take me from pulling my hair out to sitting on a beach, sipping on sweet design
I love these basic videos! it makes me think twice while making new project and level my current knowledge.
Watching this because my professor couldn't explain it
Hi! This video is amazing. You explained typography in a few a sentences using this presentation. Also as a designer, you have gave us an idea and inspiration on what fonts are appropriate to use. Never thought that typhography could be this deep. Keep it up!! :)
These videos are fantastic! The editing, the graphic design everything! I'm an industrial design student but I need to know graphic design for layouts in portfolios. This channel is so helpful
Excellent video, funny how I walk around looking at signs and try to guess what font they used now, thanks to this video, I've learned about Kerning. Thanks! Keep up the good work.
I'm amazed. Whoever made this video knew what he/she was doing. Great work!
I am not only fascinated by the content of your vid, but also the way you made your vid. Really awesome.
i've just discovered your channel and i LOVE your videos! you make everything look simple and easy!
What a great clip!!! I am an animator and illustrator, and sometimes do graphic design work but I am not as confident when doing so, but after watching this clip, I feel I can do better! So thank you for sharing!!!
These videos are very informative as well as interesting. Eagerly waiting for next ones.
I had no idea I'd find this topic as useful and entertaining as I did. Great job!
I loved this video; it was clean, easy to comprehend and covered the vital points within minutes. I especially enjoyed the motion illustrations; they invited me to understand the concepts without insulting my intelligent. You guys even chose the perfect voice overlay she projected a friendly tone….thanks great job!!
We're so glad you enjoyed it! We've also just published the next video in the series, which focused on Color: th-cam.com/video/_2LLXnUdUIc/w-d-xo.html. We hope you enjoy this one as well!
Thank you so much. All your tutorials I've watched so far have been very informational and helpful. :)
Not for a second do you get bored ! these videos are really well made!! great job! you make learning simple and fun :)
This video is just what I needed to begin my implementation of typography. Thank you!
Animations express emotions in your videos and it becomes self explanatory.
This is simply great!
Keep it up :)
Sped this up to 1.25x and it was perfect. Loved the graphics and the soothing narrative. Wonderful and extremely informative video! Great job :)
Amazing video for beginners - not too detailed, but also not too simple. Along with that: amazing edit. Thank you!
Graphic Design has never been this interesting, this page gives me more to time to learn in contrast to the university's stressful methods.
just loved it...the best tutorial on typography i have ever found on youtube...thanx a lot.
Thank you so much! This video helped me get a better understanding of Typography for my project in my Digital Design class!
By far the best video on typography! Ive watched it so many times
This very video is helping me with my second essay for uni, lots of thanks for that :D
This was excellence in video. Yall taught me more than I thought I could learn by making everything clear and putting it all together in a perfectly designed video. Thank you :)
Love it.. simple, neat and reference that I saved. Small suggestion if may I.. to do a PDF version of this content,. And that really be a worth to spread .. thank you dear

I am a graphic designer and I will describe this video as: "Simple and Rich"
thanks and keep on going.
This series is wonderfully done, it’s impressive how you nail all the important aspects of design so succinctly
Thanks!
The best approach to introducing Typography! Thank you!

This series is outstanding!
Очень полезный канал для художников, спасибо большое я люблю вас смотреть) пожалуйста выпускайте больше ваших интересных и познавательных видео.
Thank you! This is just what I need to learn to make my own design.
I love this channel, I usually watch these videos to study what I learned in class!
Great to hear!
What is this sorcery!! As interesting as some videos get, I often phase out sometimes when it's not engaging enough but I without even realizing it, stayed engaged the whole video. So informative, but not overwhelming! I wish my teachers back in school explained things like this.
Comprehensive , well explained and easy to understand video. Thank you for this Beginning Graphic Design video series.
This is so relaxing
Wow I knew all that, but I couldn’t stop watching! Excellent video, so so well done, explained and illustrated!
Thank you for the video! I enjoyed it thoroughly and was smiling while watching~ To think that some of the things we do daily, reading, creating reports, typing emails etc, we take them for granted. There is actually design thinking principles incorporated already!
Wow, this video inspires me to try and try until I succeed, haha, I love the contrast and every single thing about this video! This video is not only composed with information, but with stunning art as well. Bravo! I'm looking forward to more tutorials!
This is the ultimate, amazing, and most informative video I'm watching on typography. Thanks in tons for making and sharing it. Wish you all the best.
such a great great great and free video about typhography . aweeesome !!!
all your videos are done so precisely well in terms of design n animation I gain more insight in design works.
Your videos are soo amazing.I love them.They are really informative and also the editing and animations are amazing.
OMG you guys are great! Awesome and very useful video. I started studying Graphic Design and I know I'm gonna be watching your videos a lot.
Thanks!
THANK YOU
Well spoken and organized information, much easier to follow and get an overall sense, of the message.
Just found this channel today, this is so good i learned a lot of stuff here. Subscribed!
Thank you. I had no idea typography was so interesting.
Loved your videos, it explains so much in a beautiful way. others videos feel scattered. Understood a lot by watching only few. Please upload more on graphic design.
thank you so much, i find typography very intimidating, was ignoring to learn it but your video gave me the courage to start.
Fantastic presentation! I'm learning that I love typography and this explains it beautifully. I was glued to the screen :)
I wasn't looking for this, but I found it, and it was very helpful! Thanks :D
God, I wish I have seen your videos earlier, this could have helped me last year. You taught this only in 6 minutes while my Teacher taught us last minute.
Soothing color, voice and the overall ambience. Just wow !
This 6 minutes video changed my perspective in this area which I never thought before!😍
I'm taking this class in fall 2022 so seeing the comments I'm now will be following and gain as much info as possible so I'm not lost and fail my class it's 16 weeks instead of 8 I heard this class is tough so I'm going to take advantage and follow
This is really good, i thought it was going to end in signing up for course pitch. But its the whole mini lesson right there!
Typography is something that comes natural to me. I love fonts. Even tho I probably won't be majoring in graphic design anymore. I plan to putting type into my artwork.
al fin algo simple y bien explicado, te amo y te debo la vida
Subbed because the voice artist sounds like someone very close to me (also a voice artist!) and because these are informative and I can use them to teach people and learn from it myself 💓
I was studying graphic communication in high school and I loved it but I decided to change and I took a to take a complete different major in college. I just found out about all these videos, that reminds me of what I learned in high school and that makes me miss aha
Anyway, really great series of videos, good job !
These are beautifully designed videos - and great voiceovers! Excellent!
Absolutely love this❣ The best video on Typography for beginners by far.
Not only this is a very good educational video it also is well crafted in aftereffect with details, well done!
