Many videos have talked about grids but you're the only one who properly showed how to use them. Thank you!

This was the first actual helpfull video about design choices and tips, that caught my attention span, hold it and delivered. Thank you for cutting the blabla and just doing quick facts and come straight to the point. The comparison between the two posters and seeing what little you changed, but the difference it made was mindblowing. I actually understood your point and learned so much more from this short video then so many other videos about the same topic. Definitely gonna check out your other videos

This is such a valuable video. Practical and actionable tips, something a beginner like me can easily apply. I wish there could be more graphic design tips that are as simple and practical as this on the internet

1:34 - Hierarchy and Proximity section is on-point. Hiearchy is important but the right scaling of element will help us to direct the viewers to the messaging

REALLY good video. Very instructive and easy to follow with well explained principles and very instructive application. Will use these laws going forward for thumbnail design and other aspects of video creation. The idea of creating a grid is great and I'll make one in Photoshop or find one online, thanks!
