    Chris reminds me of my favorite design theory teacher. She's been my favorite teacher for years actually. I had the best possible experience with critiques from her while I was in design school back in Cuba. Two of the things you mentioned are particularly very close to how I was taught to look at my work.
    - To remove elements from compositions and if the piece doesn't suffer from that removal then it wasn't meant to be there.
    - Like you said Chris, start with references from what works. It's funny you mentioned the zoo. One of my assignments in my first year was to create a simplified version of an animal. We were told to go to the zoo and the museum of science that had a library accessible to university students. All that in order study how the animal behaves.
    This video brought great memories and it's legit gold advice to everyone.

    First time I'm disagreeing with Chris: the lion logo looks very cool and professional. This is Graphics Design, NOT Fine Arts. And even if we're to classify as partly fjne art, art is still subjective.
    The big head representation gives the logo a winning edge and breaks it free from what it would otherwise have come off as: GENERIC.

    Anyone agree with me but I find Chris’s energy level is up the ceiling in these short videos 😆. Thanks the Futur! ♥️

    You guys are such amazing homies. Right now, I am working as a student designer at my university. This had amazing timing because I was in a slump because I got assigned to do a series of branding. And I kinda started to become overwhelmed. Now I am feeling pumped again. Love you guys! *Crying buckets of happy tears*

    Thanks Chris. I am a PhD student in Stem Cell Biology with a passion for graphic design and video production. Your videos have inspired me to launch my own side business to profit off my "niche" as a scientific illustrator. Hopefully, I can be a success story and end up on your show one day! Love from Canada!

    I really like the fact that you put the cut scene where Chris Do had to redo 3 times a sentence. It shows 3 things :
    - You care about quality in your videos
    - It's a bold decision and it makes your channel more dynamic and down-to-earth
    - You don't have a problem with showing vulnerability, and therefore makes your channel also more trustworthy.
    Very nice video overall, looking for more soon !

    the 1st logo is stikl non legible. The reference to the paper clip didn't need to be on both words, it would have been more legible for the word "clip" to not have any gag in there, and just leave the clip icon on the "a", it would have been enough.
