When you can't shoot your own images or video, choosing from stock can be a challenge. Here are some tips for getting it right. This tutorial is for all design levels, but advanced in application.

Welcome to my new YouTube series, Learn Graphic Design from Scratch. This is the very first lesson, and the place to begin. Over this series, I will teach you how graphic design is developed, what kind of decisions you have to make a designer and most importantly, the "why" of design, not the "how". In this lesson, I begin with the the empty space. It might seem like a strange place to begin, but trust me and follow along. Just because the empty space is empty, doesn't mean there's nothing there.

There are always challenges, as in life, and it's okay to be uncertain and just trying to do good work each day.

This is a very broad subject, and the examples in this creative tutorial are very basic, but you'll see how to distinguish one from the other. This is nuanced, but by no means difficult to understand - if more difficult to implement. This tutorial is for all design levels, but advanced in application.

Grids give you aesthetic possibilities, as in the rule of 3rds and 5ths, but they can also be used to keep you organized and give your design work flow, and cohesion. In this video, we explore those aspects of both dynamic and static grids.

This makes it one of the most important "big" topics of discussion and study, as it relates to several other principles in subtle ways. In this episode, I give you some examples of hierarchy in design that you see every day. I try to expand on a couple of the different ways (not all, by any means) you can use hierarchy as a tool to evaluate your design work. It's less a technique you can add to your toolbox, but more an important idea to grasp. Some images purchased from https://shutterstock.com Other images are my own original photographs.

What are design principles, or rules? Do you HAVE to follow the rules of design? Are design principles the same as design techniques? We'll briefly cover the rules in general. We'll also discuss the results of the first lesson assignment, and also begin a new assignment. </video> <video> Yes, I'm still here. Quick update for 2018 Description: Here's a quick update video to let everyone know what I've been doing lately, and what's coming next. </video> <video> Creative Lectures from Experience, Episode 02: Should you worry about AI design? Description: In this second episode of Creative Lectures from Experience, lets talk about AI design and art generators. Should you be worried? Will AI take our design jobs? Is AI art better than you? Short answer, yes. Long answer, it's not actually that simple. And, you might not know this, but we've been here before. Check out my lecture and thoughts on AI generated design and art. </video> <video> Creative Lectures from Experience, Episode 01: a stupid idea Description: Hi, this is Shawn Barry, Creative Professional. This is the first in a series of advice based lectures based on my many years as a creative professional in the advertising industry in Canada. I've worked on National brands, big campaigns and everything down to a basic business card. In the first lecture of this series, I describe my dumbest idea yet. </video> <video> Designing for Animation with Lapse Time at the end Description: In this Advanced tutorial, we go over some very basic animation principles for branded social media ads. This isn't character animation, although I do demonstrate a couple techniques you could use to do that. More, this is an introduction to animation for designers that are interested in trying animation. Here are my animation files - you can download them and try things yourself: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KUmxwMINxFsWBrL2hC7oFDrBCkPo_tB1?usp=sharing Follow me in IG: https://www.instagram.com/shawncbarry/ </video> <video> Design 101, Episode 07: Simplicity. Description: Design 101, Episode 07: Simplicity + Time lapse design at the end. Simplicity "sounds" simple, but it's anything but simple. While this could technically be an advanced topic, I think it's important to grasp this idea early and start working toward it right off the start. In this episode, I show you an example of a simple social media campaign (fake content, but based on real-world projects) to demonstrate how simplicity, while not simple, can really make a complex idea, straight forward.

Every designer is faced with working to a set of parameters, like how large the design space is. But what about colour space, trim, bleed, safety? These are all important things to be aware of. In this video, I'll revisit the Rakkatak project and deal with specs on a current assignment.
