      In my experience, while that does happen sometimes, usually that just means the minimal design wasn't effective. If ever I get that input I try to rework my approach and often times without adding anything, but rather refocusing the design, the client will be ecstatic

    Summary (you should still watch the video to see the examples and do the test at the end where you can quickly get all six questions right):
    1. Spacing: 0:19
    - don't just use open spaces,
    - use images as focal points or balance.
    2. Font choice: 1:33
    - use a clean and readable font,
    - pair fonts in a hierarchical way.
    3. Colour choice: 2:37
    - pick one colour that drives the design-forward that matches the message and the design's theme. Colours can also be used as a focal point or something used from background textures to accents.
    - Use two highly contrasting colours.
    4. No clutter: 3:52
    - Bare essentials.
    - Practical and visually appealing.
    5. Balance: 4:42
    > For every bold/heavy element in the design, look for ways to balance them with shapes, space or lighter elements to establish harmony in the overall design.

    • @unnatishe-her5916
      @unnatishe-her5916 Před 3 lety +1

      This is really good thank you, it actually clarified some stuff from the video for me. But I still don't understand what font hierarchy means..Or what exactly is the relevance, function & point of balance.. Is it just that fact that one or 2 bold things within an empty space wouldn't look great so we balance them out with lighter elements? I feel like I'm missing something out.
      It'll be great to get to know something that could help clarify :)

    • @MaximilianBerkmann
      @MaximilianBerkmann Před 3 lety +1

      @@unnatishe-her5916 You're welcome, from what I understand the relevance and point of balance is to keep a levelled quantity of information that are treated differently (so not too much graphics or text). For the typography balance that's to enable the brain to filter information by importance and to aid in forming a structure of the information.
      Font hierarchy is to distinguish key/primary elements from secondary and tertiary ones.

      A client's "tackiness" is relevant as long as it achieves the goal. Unless you're a graphic designer for no reasons other than it being your hobby. In the industry, people ought to know how to respect _preference_ and recognize the structure of supply and demand.

      @@xeler8r there will be an extent of consideration for a certain request, depending on the amount of professionalism required from the designer. It's like denying someone their choice of rare steak because you think you know better. But you see, dear, it's a thought applicable in fast food chains but not in fine dining. Siiiiiigh. Idk why a lot of people have a hard time separating personal from professional.

The bottom bar that shows the tooic keeps you in the loop, and then the final part to test gained knowledge is marvellous. This is overseen by many youtubers and should be implemented more and more. That brings the whole new level of engagement. Well done on this!

    I've always seen minimal design as borderline abstract. I've tried countless times giving options like these to clients I've handled, and not more than twice did they choose this option. With all the information they require to convey, it just wasn't feasible to do the design minimally. As an art director, I was taught and I learned to think of design to be like water, able to adapt to anything. So this minimal design, though it is great, I think is really a niche.

    Fantastic tips, thank you for sharing. A strong and great advice to designers, and the reason why minimal design is the preferred method for those who truly understand design, is to understand the content, to have robust categorization skills to create superb taxonomy of the content and provide the better hierarchy of elements.
