To have someone as talented and experienced as Matthew share gems like this is gold. Definitely more of these. Thanks Matthew
this channel is the best thing yall ever done (for a broke ass such as myself)
Mathew!!! Idk why but I connect with your videos on a different level. You’re awesome!
Thank you for creating content that delves into ideation, concerting, and the technical side of design. That kind of content doesn’t exist at the level Matthew functions at. I love this so much. Thank you for making this.
Love this Matthew! Great fun to watch your process
Loved getting a glimpse into your process for this surreal collage style, Matthew! I was always curious about the designer behind them 😊
Thank you, Matthew! I love the result! Thank you that you share your process and way of conceptual thinking that I appreciate so much.
Really dig this tutorial. Its cool to see your process on how to execute dynamic collages. Keep them coming!
Digging the new channel. Love that you guys decided to split up the business of design stuff from the creative part of it. I love both, but it makes a ton of sense to seperate the two.
Thanks. Glad you're into it and aligned with the vision.
Woah! This was an awesome video. I need more of this!! Great work Matthew!
Thank you, Matthew, for this enlightening quick tutorial on something that I want to pursue! You did a terrific job taking us through the steps to create this photo graphics collage--telling us which tools to use (and why!). This was very very helpful. I will look at other work for inspiration, but YOUR tutorial explains the how to and why, which I think is very important in learning how to conceptualize the final art piece, so thank you! More like this, please!
Love Matthew! Really enjoying the channel - thanks!
I am a totally cut paper and paste artist but I still enjoy watching Photoshop vicariously. Particularly the discussion of values and texture so it's a good brain exercise for me. Thanks! Also I tend to work abstractly so discussion about image content is also helpful for me!
Great tutorial! Matthew clearly explains his design process very well.
I wish I could share just how much The Futur has helped me as a Business Owner and a Designer. Thank you for existing lol like legit, consideringmy first job my employer told my entire team I'm not really drained, to owning my own start up and having clients WANT to work with me.
Great work Matt, hope to see more videos where you dissect how those kind of graphics are made. Cheers
I love the advice on labeling and layers! I've always struggled remembering how to apply the effect onto on one layer. / The small elements certainly adds up into a well put together comp. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to much more!
Great video. I started doing collages this year. I use collage design as a great warm up before getting started on bigger projects to get the creative flow moving. I also find it very therapeutic when I’m stressed out.
This was awesome. Clear, and easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing your process!
Please do more of these. I really appreciate these types of content. Thanks for this one.
This instantly became my favorite tutorial. I love collage style design.
We plan to do more.
Awesome video, I love the way matthew share is vision and process on this work. So inspiring !
Matthew, you nailed this conceptualization result. Love seeing and hearing how you arrived to your final idea. This is a great platform for more content like this. THANKS DUDE!!
Presa you got it
"The subtleties add up" . Design Tip. Maybe even a Life Tip?... Definitely paying attention and value this type of stuff, so yes. Please make more!
Very lovely! Thanks a lot, Matthew and The Futur team! You rock, guys
Haytham Mezgueldi thanks
Really useful tips, thanks Matthew!
I love these new thumbnails. Thanks for the video and - again - for this new channel!
I would certainly enjoy more of these! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for this channel, I love the main channel but I'm just starting to build my design skills and even when the other channel is great and I have learned a lot, it can be distracting and overwhelming at times because is way more advanced from where I'm at my future (It was not intentional but I'm glad it happened) career and I feel that I can lose my main focus at the moment, that is learn and practice my craft so I can actually make profit from it. But at the same time your content is addictive T.T So now I can come here and have my dosis of The Futur and keep my main focus :D
That's the plan. We made this channel for people like you.
I dig it. Please keep them coming.
Awesome, more like this please. Great work and super easy to follow :)

When I Clicked at the Video I expectet Matthew showing how to do the guy pushing the Wall, but no.
The positive thing is, that he shared the information about what he did when he was in college - I think I will try this out soon! So Thank You!
Amakira you’re welcome
Hey Mathew.. around 04:00 to make the bigger image faster .. you could've selected the area and chosen "fill > content aware"
Please do an episode on types of modern graphic design and graphic designing trends

wow great idea sir love from Pakistan sir I have a question when I create a post or anything while the written text is blurring I mean pixelate judge edges how to fix it how to deal with it
The video is very useful. I want to learn more about collage. Do you know courses?
Nice!
Now show us how you made the thumbnail for this video ;)
It could be a series!
Hi, Great video, with very good explanations and beautiful result! Thanks! I have some questions regarding the photos you use. Do you buy them or just take them from Internet? Is it allowed to use other people's photos in collages without their OK? Even if you buy photos is it allowed to modify them ? I would also like to make collages but don't know what the law says when it comes to using and modifying other people's photos to use them in collages. Looking very much forward to your reply.
Being more familiar with illustrator I am curious about two things here. How did you so seamlessly mask the photo to the smart object? It almost seemed like one right click in the layers panel but I could not catch it. How did you cut the key out so easily?
Please make more video on social media post 😊😊😊

Hey Matt...interesting office wall configuration. What's the story behind that "No Luck" bit? You loose your cables alot or something? lol
incredible and sexy job by Matthew Encina!
hey designer community!
I would really love to start making some collages, but photoshop is - despite the fact that you can only lease and never own it - really expensive...
I am using a mac and ipad, are there any good cutting/layering programs/apps you would suggest? thank you
I'm 67 and know nothing about computers but this was so interesting
I NEED THE IMAGES USING IN THIS SURREAL COLLAGE GRAPHICS
Alguna web que recomiendes de banco de imágenes? gracias
