How To Improve Your Graphic Design Skills

Don't let your lack of confidence cripple you. Keep creating and enjoy the process! Also, hope you dug the real client project as an example. Going to try and do more of that in future videos!

Still valuable content

You've earned my subscribe. Very valuable information. Thank you for dropping the video.

Which software did u use to do the design?

This was very Useful Indeed. Thank you for putting it out.

This was super nice. I just started my first job as a junior designer and I’m trying to prepare myself as much as I can to succeed. It’s my 4th day tomorrow and each day I’ve had to make 3 logo options for a project our company is doing. I’ve only done work for like two clients in the past. One my mom and two a friend of a friend for a project outside of school and work.

I LOVE Max! The fact that you made a design for him is so mind-blowing and I hope to also make something for him one day 🙏🏾 Also, thank you for the tip! I overthink my designs a lot and this has been helpful to decrease my anxiety of creating "perfect" work

You know you’re screwed when you liked the “ugly background” version..

Thanks for this video! I have been struggling with burnout recently and my work has been feeling its taking waaaay too long to complete and even when I'm done, Im not sure that it's good enough - your video helped me feel like I have a bit more direction and more importantly, more patience and confidence in what I'm doing. Thanks Brent!

Love this!!!!
I agree 1000% . What came to mind was those who can’t do teach, those who can do, do it everyday. I’ve given up so many times and had I not, I know my artwork would’ve come a long way. I got burned out. But mainly got so tired of all the rejection. Trying to do it in the corporate world too, just discouraged me. But, it’s part of me. ❤

Thanks for your video!

Thanks mate, I as a designer learned a lot from your video.. Appreciate it!

appreciate the encouragement! I am recently in a position to work freelance full time, and last few days have been down over personal stuff. It is hard sometimes to get into that creative mode when you've got those blues... anyways, I just typed in "freelance graphic design encouragement" ... lol... just to see what came up. So hey, thanks :)

What was the texture you used on the “MAX” font?

I've reached the point where I'm completely demoralised and don't feel like I can be creative as a designer anymore :( I don't have a client, just a vague assignment for Masters and asking charities etc. if I can help them so I have something to make.

Thanx man. This was really helpful. 🌋

We all go through moments of insecurity. As Brent points out Confidence is key. We work with many designers as CDs but we aren’t absolved from these same feelings. Love the breakdown as well as your process for getting un-stuck. Keep things simple, focus on some key guiding attributes and think about the story you are trying to tell for the viewer, those always help us :)

Good video, I really needed this one :)

Thank you man🙏

Also another tip, I use Canva to throw together quick design concepts and then rebuild it on the adobe creative suite ( if necessary ) Only reason I do this is its quicker to try out different design styles to see what sticks best.

The graphic that got approved isn’t better that the previous graphic provided 😭 but I guess it’s what the client wanted

I am animator and graphic are really impritant in animation . Thanks for the video

Mine is 1000th like. hehe. Subbed from 2 accounts, that's how much value you are giving away. I felt like you were really honest about your work and really trying to help others. Props for that and thank you for motivation. I am looking to come back to design again (after I did it for a couple of years as a self learner and actually made money from it ^^ )

its been a 2 years the last year I become insecure about my work and I feel shy to present it i wanna improve and i have block designer I wanna do something but from wear i start?

Thank you for this

Awesome! Thank you! I am currently feeling insecure about my work for a client, but I only started a month ago... cheers

This is a life saver. Thank you. You've inspired me to try again.

Wonderful video! What is the font used in "GRAPHIC DESIGNER" on your end screen?

Greate Vedio. Helps a lot :) thanks bro

Sir you r amazing

Very Useful Information 👍

Thank you so much for your video Brent. I've just got into graphic design and social media marketing for a big law firm who really uphold high standards in our external facing brand. Although it has been tough at times being 9 months into the job and still feeling like I am not good enough for design, your video has motivated me to keep practicing and learning about GD theory. Thank you!

Thank for your inspiration! After your video i really want to work, work and work..... Thank you so much!

This is what should be shown....not just some crappy theories and stuff.. Real example from real clients! Nice :)

Great video man! Loved the hands on look at your work, your straight talk and the mention of “insecurity”, which is such an underrepresented attribute of designers. Keep it up!

Dude this video helped so much. I am at my second full time graphic design job of my career and am feeling a lack of confidence in my design work. This made me feel so much better!!!

keep creating....super

Thank u

This was so so helpful. Thank you for showing your different iterations and going through your thought process.
