We hope you enjoy!

Hi - I've studied and taught typography for years as part of IT programmes. And I have to say that his video is a little gem - you've captured all the basics of the subject, and more, in a nutshell with very engaging graphics. Well done - and thank you very much!

[Meimoons]

This video seems so much simpler than what my Graphic Design instructor tries to get at. I've got much a clearer picture about the basics through this than the countless projects done in class.

This was like a college education in 6 minutes.

At this point, forget Typography! Tell me how to edit videos so fluidly like that!

[ChrisHanline]

Every element of these videos are so well done! As a designer, this makes me want to share this with the people I work closely with that don't have the designer role, so they can get a better understanding of the work I do, the attention to detail I give, and why it all matters. Great work, and thank you!

I love how you combine visual audio and content congruity. What you day matches perfectly what is shown. Amazing!!

Hey! This is a comprehensive video on typography - yet I don't feel bored at any time during the vdo. Great work!

i like how she interacts with the viewers and the little encouragements she give out. It actually means a lot! Learning can be fun and UNintimidating if the teacher knows how to openly, swiftly engage the students throughout the lesson! 💓💓

note for self:
-Leading: the space between lines
-Tracking: the space between characters
-Kerning: the space between specific characters

thank you! i learned some new things in a short space of time. very well made video

You explained everything I need to know to start in 9 mins why almost every one else keeps blabbering way and wasting your time making it even more difficult to understand. Thanks so much, looking forward to more

I have been aggressively binge-watching your videos just now! I just watched The Basics of Design, Color and Typography and I'm SYKED.

You explain the basics and certainly fill up pretty important holes in my knowledge in them and make me more aware of what I've been already doing by intuition. Now I'll know how to approach a problem or intently make a design more interesting when I have no specific idea!

I've decided to try blogging and some other projects for which I'll need to up my game in graphic design and illustration. I've just found the perfect starter pack, basics that _expand_ to teach us useful concepts and practical tipps!

Thank you!

Lol, I sometimes feel really sorry for comic sans. 😂

[dipooladepo]

This video is just perfect.
The graphics, the content, the voice; everything just fits together perfectly.


It's 2020 and this is still one of the most relevant videos about typography, great stuff.

[lienhoaa]

These graphic tutorials are the most aesthetic ones I've ever watched!!

[DanoCDA]

This video taught me everything I need to know for my InDesign class in terms of typography in less than 7 minutes while it took about 7 hours in class to explain everything. THANK YOU!

[Metamor-phosis]

That was one of the best things I've seen on youTube... I have no idea how you made many things which doesn't happen very often! Thanks a lot!

years of trying to understand typography, explained in 6 minutes. great video

Iam a Visual Communication Design student and this is one of my favorites courses .
Kerning leading hierarchy is some rules to make a good and perfect visual design of typography, you cant see it much but you can feel it

[rasamasala]

I'm currently training as a visual story artist, so I normally utilize lighting, colors, shape language, and perspective to create concepts, designs, and storyboards. I find it so interesting that typography exists as an art form dedicated to texts and lines that utilize color and shape language (lots of overlapping fundamentals) to create an emotional response from people. It's awesome to see how the fundamentals of color and design are used in a completely different way that it makes me feel like a total beginner again! Gotta love art! 😁

I am a graphic designer and I will describe this video as: "Simple and Rich"
thanks and keep on going.
