@Barb Rogers Ms. SOLAR TERROR this is my life question please tell me
@Barb Rogers Ms. SOLAR TERROR sir Neil Gaiman can memorize study please say yes or no please sir this is my life please say yes or no
@Barb Rogers Ms. SOLAR TERROR no, I don’t think you understand the point of what he means. The point is that you need to stray away from boring and forgetful graphic design. While in the short run it might be pleasing to everyone, everybody will end up forgetting it because of the formula it follows and as he says “you’re playing it much too safe”. He is trying to stray away from that formulaic look. While not everybody will enjoy that style, that design will stick with everybody.
If you were to really compare graphic design to pizza it would be more like if a shop only sold cheese and pepperoni pizza because it pleases everybody and they were afraid of venturing out and exploring new creative flavors because they didn’t want people to dislike it. Sure, some people may not like the creative flavors, but to the people who do, they will remember it and go back to the shop for more. A large part of graphic design is to be memorable.
@I once killed A man with my shoe “The point is that you need to stray away from boring and forgetful graphic design.” Nothing in my statement says to play it safe and stick with an old formula , you assume too much.
@Barb Rogers Ms. SOLAR TERROR his whole quote is “if everybody loves your work, you’re playing it much too safe”. I’m not saying _you_ think that playing it safe and sticking to a formula is a good thing, I’m explaining to you what he _meant_ when he said “you need some people not liking your work”.
yeah, probably best not to listen to someone who uses the line “if people like your work, you’re doing it wrong”
he sounds like a Lucasfilm employee
its “if everyone likes your work, you’re playing much too safe”
@jason dads ok, i dont know how that makes it any less of a retarded opinion
does someone know what kind of software Carson is using in this trailer?
Clipe do podpah?
This is the avant garde type of graphic designer.
Anybody trying to be in a group chat of 17-23 year olds on Instagram📲❓Entrepreneurs, creatives, freelancers, students and so on and so fourth❓💵Maybe make connections🌐and overall meet people you can relate with from different upbringings👥. I’ve tried this months ago but we became inactive and never formed true relationships anyway(business and personal wise specifically)➕I’m trying to learn more myself when it comes to financial literacy and some strangers probably know things I know nothing of and vice versa🤷🔌No ignorant people or weirdos tho. Good vibes🔋
anyone know what song that is in the beginning??
It’s a sample from Fell Runner’s “Supermarket”, heard at about 1:48 in the song.
I love the combination of letters, colors and little area
The coolest designer !
He had such an impact on me when I was in Uni getting my design degree. I was searching for something exciting to create outside of grids and when i knew about David, well the rest was history.
Basically he’s telling us to go ANTI DESIGN
Love your work and ideas David.
now this is an artist
Thanks. What a great designer and Artist!
