Graphic Design GOLDEN RULES (2025 Edition)

The golden rules of graphic design in 2025, and how to use them!

Note: This video is a re-upload because I've been spending time with family over the holiday season. Satori will be returning in January with new and fresh content, video after video!
The golden rules in this video are as relevant now as they were a year ago, maybe more so in fact! So as a graphic designer, make sure you understand and learn these rules, and how to implement them into your very own design workflow.

In this video, we dive deep into advanced graphic design principles that go beyond the basics. Forget the usual tips about keeping things simple or avoiding too many fonts-this is about elevating your work to the next level. Learn how to leverage pop culture to create designs that resonate deeply, carve out a unique style that clients will seek out, and master techniques like breaking the rules of design with purpose.
Discover how instant gratification affects creativity, why research is the ultimate secret weapon, and how embracing AI can streamline your workflow in 2023 and beyond. Plus, we'll explore how to create unforgettable memory hooks and craft compelling narratives in your designs.

My design work consists of 99% corporate stuff which generally has no real 'style' as everything is usually very conservative. It's boring but it pays the bills :(

Hi Thomas Cargill,

I'm a huge fan of your work and the valuable training you provide on YouTube. Your examples of creating focal points in design have been incredibly helpful.

However, I have a few questions regarding real-world applications:

1. When a client provides numerous images (10-20+) to work with, how would you approach convincing them to use only a select few as focal points?
2. What's your take on refusing to work with a client who insists on cluttering the design with too many images?
3. In certain environments, such as storefronts or product displays, it's common to showcase multiple products or images. How do you balance the need to display various items with the principle of maintaining a clear focal point in graphic design?
4. How do you handle situations where a client is accustomed to cluttered designs, but you're trying to introduce the concept of a clear focal point?
5. Could you provide examples of creating focal points using different elements (e.g., images, typography, shapes) on a poster? Specifically, how would you approach designing a poster with multiple images (5-10+)?

Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Legendary tips per usual!

Your videos are really dynamic and creative. How do u do these things. I've been doing motion graphics on after effects for 3 years now. The details are overwhelming. I really need guidance. Thank you for all you do.

Great tips! Speaking of AI I think it's great for graphic design like when you want to edit something very quickly just like in that deer example or to generate an image in a more realistic style. However, I think it's unnaccteptable when people generate pictures which are suppossed to look like a drawing. I just personaly hate AI 'art'. When I see someone do this, it's an instant red flag for me. I'd rather someone really drew it since I'm an art lover and I love the drawing process.

Watching from Uganda my dear brother! Love your work en lessons on graphic design 💙lol
