Design Mistakes You NEED to Avoid! 🚫

Hope you guys enjoyed the video! Check out Envato Elements here: 1.envato.market/c/2383170/1159027/4662 Comment below if you spotted the ✨Aesthetic✨ montage in the video! :yt:

1. Excessive variety of fonts 2. Lack of whitespace (cluttered border) 3. Lack of contrast (Typographic/color)

sometimes when I am struggling with getting the right contrast between colours I change my designs to black and white which really shows you how tonally different the colours are.

I feel like I just watched my first year of design school in 12 minutes. Great video 👍

Another great video to help my brain become visually creative and skilled at composition. I'm more of a text and speaking person but would like to grow. So about the pronunciation of "aesthetics" you only need add an "s" after the first syllable, "a". I find it helpful to look at how words are spelled and to "sound them out" syllable by syllable.

Great hints, Will. Not many fonts, that's fundamental, indeed. I also like Montserrat, but I like OpenSans and Lato, as well. Color contrasting is harder than finding cool colors and matching colors, at least to me. You are quite right about "design trends". When a new trend appears people have the tendency to overuse it.

I love all these nice transitions in the video! Great job you guys!

I love how minimalist your videos are and your voice is just relaxing , love ur videos keep up ❤️

Starting a graphic design degree in September, your videos have been great! Also dyslexic and my friends are forever laughing at my pronunciation at things.

Thank you, Will Pat! These tips are helpful and kuddos for being beginner-friendly!

thanks Will, great video 👍👍 really helpful the title/subtitle proportions, that's the body text divided with 1.618, 2 times while skipping 2 weights 😊👌

I'm a 1st year student at university learning graphic design and you are my teacher i hate my university I really learn everything from you and my dr.s be like wooow nice work and im like yeah thanks to paterson

Thank you so much, dear. I always try to watch all of your videos.your videos are very helpful.❤️

talking about fonts and typeface, the new typeface IBM made, especially the monospaced font, is excellent 👌

Envato elements is a god send. I love it, I recommend it because it saves me time and it also inspires me. On the note of the video, I love the editing for this video. The part on white space and the camera invading your space. The aesthetic pronunciation. Very enjoyable and personable. Sadly I've learned the bulk of these mistakes the hard way URGH but I still fall victim to overcrowding my pieces. Always paranoid it's too simple and people will be like "I can do that", but a lot of people realize how much thinking goes behind building something that simple but beautiful and informational.

Great notes! Thanks Will ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you 😊 , very creative video 🤯. As a beginner it's really helpful thank you again and keep sharing new things 😇.

Thanks for helping me with these tips !! ❤

It's like having Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) teaching design. Nice work!

Hey Will, I absolutely love your content. Curious as to why you don't "hang" your quotes in the margin?
