My process is very simple: I just close my eyes and let the force choose the best font for
me... =P

[karstengoke]

I love the new Intro! Feel calm, classic, confident and modern at the same time.

Essentially, this video tells beginner graphic designers: 1) Once you've matured your design for a bit, you no longer have to rely on gut feeling; 2) Where to find fonts; 3) Two questions to ask-- Do you want the piece to look established and classic or funky and modern? and 3.5) Do you want a serif or sans-serif font?; and lastly 4) A list of twenty-five fonts that are tested and true. ...But you haven't actually taught us how to choose a font. What design principles go into it? How do we know that one font from your list of twenty-five will be better for one project than another? How do we creatively utilize fonts so that the same font gives off different vibes from one setting to another? Not actually a useful video.

I can't wait for the day where every question has a well edited and well thought out video like this one.

since this is a design channel I gotta talk about the what I'm calling, "painters tape blue" window frames in your office. gives the room an unfinished look. Especially against a stark white wall.

Your channel has helped me so much in such a short amount of time. I've started a digital product shop and for some reason I knew my knowledge of fonts was the thing making my designs ehhh. I knew I needed a crash course in fonts so thank You!

For really technical web projects I recommend trying Inter UI typeface, it's like a middle ground between Roboto and San Francisco

[AndrejDesignSats]

Im a big fan of using proven geometric fronts and modifying them. Cut something, merge letters, change corners. Small change can make a huge originality, especialy if it communicates with symbol and brand feeling.
Roboto, Montserrat, Avenir, Azo sans, Raylway, Ubuntu, Anton.

From serif and handwriting:
PT Sans, Playfair (georgeus), Roboto Slab, Pacifico, Lora, Libre Baskervile.

[onionymous]

My personal favorites:
- Helvetica Neue
- Lexend
- Inter
- IBM Plex Sans
- Overpass
- Baskerville
- Barlow
- Roboto
- Playfair Display
- Futura
(I do normally use Google Docs)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US!!!

[NohorseRU]

I've been doing something vaguely graphics design-related professionally for about 4 years now, I have NO idea what I'm doing, I've been winging it this entire time.
I figure now is as good a time as any to actually look into this

[MohammedAhmed-tues]

Very well said! thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[cristianjuarez]

6:50 you just made a begginers mistake by saying that, a free rip off of a paid font is also just as

[sonalagarwal]

Completely in love with the intro at the start🔥 Fantastic!

[julienpierre]

thanks for the video, your new intro looks great !

[ОскарНегер]

Thank you for an interesting topic. I recently started working as a designer and I am very happy to learn from you. You are doing a very good job sharing knowledge!

[Lucas_F_Melo]

The basic two qualities: Being readable and having a right vibe for the project.

[adrianthomas]

Thanks for the video.

The feedback I would leave is to run your audio from your mic through a deEsser plugin to reduce the sibilance from the "ess" and "shh" sounds. The "s" sounds you make are pretty strong and they punch through a lot.

Else, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[balwant]

This is really helpful, Thank you for sharing.

I would like to know once you done wireframe, how do you plan for UI design, how do you choose colors, design patterns, typography, iconography etc.
