    I had a hard time for years to figure out what my photography style was. For years, I took pictures of landscapes and empty streets. 10 years of photography, I decided to start an uncomfortable style of street photography, and something clicked! Now I always have a human element in my photos, and it's amazing. My style is there now, but it's an ongoing process.

    I don't know how this guy is super talented to explain this complex content in such a simple way!!!!. I am a UX UI designer with few years of experience but I was struggling with choosing the color palettes and I think most of the designer face this problem. I read through some of the article/ books recap the color theory once again , dig down hot to choose color palletes but I was still struggling to use color palletes in my design in right way. I am shocked, speechless , happy and don't know exact words how can I express my emotion what I am feeling now after watching this video and clearing the concept.

    This was very helpful information. Im not quite all the way through, so this may get answered. Or maybe it was answered in the chat. But do you recommend creating fictitious case studies of clients that you are looking to attract. Or will this cause more harm then good, since you do necessarily have PROOF that it worked or any metrics, but I do think it might give them a taste of what you can do and solve for them still. For more context to my question, I would be in the Brand & Logo Identity arena, as well as some Marketing solutions. Thanks for this.

    • @jhaakon8137
      @jhaakon8137 28 днів тому

      I guess my alternative would not be to do fictitious but to opt for Free service/Upwork and use it instead. I guess both would work, the second here would clearly be more impactful for the realness factor. Again thanks for everything, you guys rock!

    So if I got this right. The creative agency basically starts and goes into production and creates still images representing how the animation will look and feel but without starting animation? And after the client decides on what they want the project to look like then they proceed with animation?

    Bad typography, is so common, and designers tend to call it "experimental" or "deconstructive", but it is simply illegible, and chaotic for reader.

    4:48 He missed an opportunity here. Since he only adjusted the margins and not the number of columns, he could have selected "Adjust Layout" in the Margins & Columns window before hitting OK and the objects on each page using that master would have shifted to the new columns. Still a good idea to double check each page, but this would have greatly reduced having to make all those manual adjustments for every object on every page.
