The Rise of Anti-design
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed rokem
The cultural battle in the design world is raging on, and no one is properly talking about it. It's time we get our thoughts together and debate with each other on the topic- what makes us designers? Are there rules to our craft? And if so, who's making them? Just letting you guys know this time it's mandatory to leave your opinion in the comments. Be civil, but don't hold back.
The Full Story of the Lofi Girl - A Generational Comfort Zone
zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed rokem
Lofi Girl is the quintessential icon of contemporary pop culture. She’s a celebrity but also mysterious and anonymous at the same time. Tracing her roots to the values and aesthetics of past generations, the ubiquitous girl caught the emotions of the youth on a simple basis: it’s ok to lose, but it’s not ok to give up. Thus, it opens the door to a closer inspection of the nature of western soci...

Baseball is absolutely the best. Don't believe me? Just walk down the street and look at what people are wearing. Chances are you'll see at least one or two guys with a New Era New York Yankees baseball cap. Yes, the NY monogram comes from a baseball team. Just like the LA monogram. While big and small companies alike have quickly tapped into flat-design to mass-produce a long list of dull and ...

Hey guys! I've been hard at work the past year to bring you something very special.

Keynote is the best software for presentation design (don't @ me)

I've been amazed by the number of people I catch in my daily life using something different than Keynote when it comes to making their presentations. I didn't think I even had to say this, but since this knowledge isn't as widespread as I thought, here it is. PS: Thanks for all the support and kind words. Glad to get this in before Christmas. Happy vacation.
Why you hate Adobe - A sophisticated rant

A video long overdue: what most of us designers think but not many take the time to express. A loose list of bugs, complaints, and weird stuff we grew accustomed to experience from our beloved softwares. Also, in many ways, a cry for help. FIX THESE.

The Golden Ratio is bullsh*t
zhlédnutí 112KPřed 4 lety
The Golden Ratio seems to be one of those ideas that, for some reason, lodges itself in the minds of both professionals and the general public and keeps on fascinating them for decades. Here's my two cents on the topic and why I believe the Gold Ration is actually nothing more than a myth with no scientific or logical backing. →Links and references: David Cole's article on the Golden Ratio: www...
Agreed
you're not smart as you think and you proved exactly nothing with this video
Marco ho ahead, enlighten us- prove me wrong
@@WeAreDraper You just showed a bunch of man made logos that don't have much to do with the golden ratio, which is, on the other hand, derived from a mathematical sequence, and frequently found in nature. How can mathematics be bullshit? Explain that. You're the one making the claim, not me
Also for every example you made to claim golden ratio isn't aesthetically pleasing , everyone with some sense of harmony would have chosen the one with the golden ratio, proving you wrong
I hate Adobe! I hate that it constantly is occupying my screen space proposing that I buy something. I never wanted it on my computer. I deeply resent that it takes regular additional key strokes to decline to buy something. STOP SELLING ME IN MY OWN SPACE!!
yeah this channel is it keep going!
Hey thanks a lot! See you soon! 🙏🏻

Adobe products are a mess, as you said, for me, Illustrator is one of the all time worst software I had to use.
Golden ratio because of jojo ISNT SHIT.
JoJo reference?
Another artist that's important to lofi, although not a hip hop artist is Daniel Johnston.
coming here after they changed the colors of all clips on the timeline, made the default height of tracks on the timeline double the size and removed valuable information labels from clips showing if they had altered motion parameters or effects on them in premiere pro... literally for no reason...
march 14th!
Mad a corporation made something corporate looking lol
Sounds like you perfectly got the point! 👍🏻
@@WeAreDraper Jokes aside, very well made video. Kudos 👏
Much appreciated sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Photoshop really sucks lately. They removed many "adjustmant" tools by greying them out. Tools that I have used for well over a decade now. I'm so over PS as it currently is.
Dude your videos are amazing! The production quality is so good and so well edited, very pleasing to watch while also being quite informative and presenting ideas that aren’t really talked about 👏👏 Subscribed!
Much appreciated! New videos coming up! Thanks a lot for the sub!
I've been looking for the ame J. Pablo Machado to learn from his animation style, I love his huge contribution to the whole Lofi Girl animation stuff. I'm a fan of Ghibli and I'd like to create a channel based on 20 year old girls living in the city, based on my own storytelling ^^
bruh, the dislikes and likes in this vid is golden ratio 😂

Easy answer to your topics: All the inconsistencies are the result of history and millions of users have stored them in muscle memory. Each time Adobe tried to change them, they earned a massive shit storm. So Adobe kept them as hurdle that newbies have to pass to work with the most capable tool chain in the world. And exactly these particularities make it so hard for the expert every day users to change to alternatives like the Affinity tools.
I was born on Feb 7 too. RIP Nujabes and J Dilla🕊️
The Pharcyde predates both producers and they were pretty goddamn lofi. especially passin me by....and countless other artists between 90-93. this isnt that hard to learn about.
Not if you’re a Sunflower and you have to layout your seeds.
Dude, this video heals me
Adobe anything has been a Corrupt company since their BS got shoe horned into Being. They hide everything and love the Ignorant with fat wallets.
You're getting yourself confused. The golden ratio is a pattern expressed widely in nature and explained mathematically by humans. What you're referring to is it's inappropriate use, or more specifically the inappropriate use of the term 'the golden ratio'.
In my opinion, the golden ratio is actually used to show the existence of God. not to be used to design a masterpiece to be the same as God's masterpiece.
Punk and Dub music was low fidelity since the 70's.
The ear cochlea is in the shape similar to golden ratio
Shame we couldn't get an album collab with Nujabes, J Dilla, and MF Doom
Interesting take on the golden ratio! I wonder how many designers actually rely on it in their work. What's your opinion?
The honest answer is that most designers probably try to use it in the early stages, then completely forget about it, and then try to reverse-engineer their project to make it somewhat fit
very pretty video :)
Much appreciated sir! 🙏🏻
Golden-ratio-myth pushers are the same as wine aficionados: when faced with double-blind tests, they can't tell the difference between good, expensive wine and cheap boxed supermarket wines. The labels are more important than anything else. Same with most "gourmands."
It makes art look dead ironically
i miss nujabes
bro did 5 minutes of golden ratio research on google and then made this video
Why not just think of it like a Wilhelm scream of design?
anti design is freeing. I think the audience craves for the illusion of sincerity, which is hard to find today. Making something shit on purpose, like the ye olde grunge of the 1990s, rejects a stifling amount of polish and materialism. I get it and I'm here for it.
Killer outfit bro.
Thank you sir 🙏🏻
People need to be more observant more inquisitive about the “Golden Ratio “ It was created from nature,by nature,in nature and for us to enjoy. We have made many discoveries and through them new inventions were built, most of them were for the good. Yet all natural shapes and forms all belong to the geometry of the “square “with it’s diagonal and hypothenuse , from the“circle “we obtain the diameter,the arc and radius and of the “triangle “ we get the “hypotenuse”height “and “base“.The math works out beautifully. Some of today’s modern artists may have used a tool called a “Spiral”wheel. It may also have been called a “Spyro -graph “ the bigger outer circumference has an “inner”diameter core that is tooth notched “and the smaller ”inner circle has an outer circumference that is tooth notched and there is also has a small hole at the top of the “inner”circle so you can place a pencil and rotate it and this will scribe some patterns, or designs that could also be laid out on a canvas with the use of or by perforated paper to form a stencil, and then using crushed charcoal in a cheese cloth bag and pounding the bag on the perforated paper to obtain an outline, then painting the subject. This method was used by “Michelangelo”s apprentices when they helped him paint the ceilings of the Sistine chapel in Rome. Michelangelo also had an eye for depth (3D) also many other skilful qualities. In Oder to paint a scenery or landscape. The artists would apply the squares and the circles on the canvas, and then incorporate the subjects within these lines. People that had basic skills at drawing, sketching, shaping, sculpting, would understand this. Nature is a living biosphere and the artists were trying to capture the essence of beauty, the texture, the power, the emotions of love, jealousy, hatred, rage, exhaustion, victory, freedom, liberty, happiness , joy, in all of its calm and natural surroundings.The “GoldenRatio” is all around us, yet we fail to observe or recognize it,so sad…!!! Jeepers, Creepers, Let’s Open those peepers…!!!!!!
Nujabes nujabes nujabes!
U have to thrown fat Jon in there too
We did, in the full video! 😉
As bad as these inconveniences are, I’m still able to do what I wanna do in illustrator and animated. However, if I see “there was an error opening project.fla” one more time
It's not bullshit. You can see from numberphile videos that it's seemingly the most irrational number. You can feel it when you see the proper golden ratio sqaures. But I think that's why the normal 11235 squares are so much nicer to look at. You're effectively seeing a sequence tend towards chaos. And see, even that sentence, watching a sequence tend towards chaos is inherently satisfying. And that's why the golden ratio is special. It's relative to order. To just think of a piece of art as doing what you want with as many different sized golden ratios as you want is stupid. Because there are higher levels of thinking. Consider the ratio of space in a logo or something that doesn't follow the golden ratio vs the parts that do. You've got another opportunity for the ratio. And it's this complexity, that allows people to make all kinds of different forms of art. That can be massively different and still beautiful. There are many special ratios. And our feelings relate to the art we see, which can include a lot more than simple spirals. Life isn't simple, so where and what actually makes something complex and beautiful. It's not going to be obvious is it.
thus why I just pirate. THEY DONT LISTEN
Rest in beats Nujabes and J Dilla!!!! ⚡️🙌
Rest in beats Nujabes. Even though I wasn't a fan of his until after he died his music will always be the first I'll go to if I need to feel comfort or happiness.
Adobe is a pretentious company that likes to give you a headache and delay sh since they want to show "oOhH iT tAkEs tImE tO mAsTeR" their laggy trash overpriced software.
the disrespect of callin J Dilla and Nujabes "lofi"...
Bullshit is in FACT A great representation of the golden ratio as it is a spiral. It is a part of nature and it does, in fact, fit the equation. And if you take the golden ratio out of the title of this video, then the title is perfect.
bad take
