    The Process
    ---------------------
    In this design challenge, we're taking on the most hated fonts in the industry: Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Impact. These fonts have been widely criticized by designers and typographers alike, but we're going to put them to the test and see if they can be used in a visually appealing way. Whether you're a designer, a typographer, or just someone who loves design, this video is for you. So, let's see if we can change some minds and prove that even the most hated fonts can be used in unexpected and beautiful ways!
    We'll create custom illustrations, unique logo designs, and graphic design styles that appeal to each packages audience!

    This reminds me of "Artist's Handwriting" in art class. The words (or artist's signature) is a design that must fit well with the piece and I must say, you definitely made these fit into the design. And honestly, I love comic sans and papyrus fonts for when I'm writing something. It gives me more playful feel (comic sans) and then a historical feel (papyrus)

      Preamble: I'm not really a graphics design person (so I think I qualify as real - although I'm a Redditor by heart, so maybe I'm ultra virtual?)
      Mehhh. I think Papyrus really doesn't look that great in this context. (It does look good as the Avatar title tho, imo).
      Maybe it's just because it's a bit too thin/fine.
      The Comic Sans example looks great tho. The strongest "objective" argument against Comic Sans in all contexts that I've heard is that it has pretty crappy kerning. Him manually arranging the letters sidesteps that.
      Also, Impact does exactly what's on the tin.

    Overused doesn’t necessarily mean bad. You found a great context and theme for all of these fonts. I wouldn’t even recognize them in a store or a bar. Comic sans works especially well, because the placement, rotation & fx just make it look custom (+the fact that ”blast” has 5 unique letters)

      You must be very young then. Before computers became cheap so everyone could afford one for casual use, people used to use fonts in the right context because computers weren't toys like they are now. Comic sans only got raped to death after people started seeing it as a font that was easy to read for dyslexic people rather than as the name implies for use in comics or for children's stuff.
      The fonts never actually looked bad, it was just fashionable to whinge about them being inappropriate or overused. Clearly they look good, that's why people overuse them.

      He advised the on the last one he should add "weathering" to the font to make it look more ranch-like, and that is absolutely ingenious! Usually you should be careful upon adding texture and stuff to the titles, as they should stand out, but in that specific one, cowboy-esque weathering would have given great effect and would have looked so cool and made it look very professional!

      There is a reason why they were used so much in the first place. Part of that reasoning may be cheap printing or some other similar thing that doesn't matter much anymore. Yet even so, they were considered some of the best looking fonts considering the restrictions that designers had. They're only considered bad now because people use them for unintended uses. They're good fonts when used properly.

    The Long Horn one is so over the top, I love it. "Extra Caffeine" is hilarious, but it also makes the branding make more sense. I could totally see Long Horn being marketed as an energy drink, and on the shelf next to Bang and Monster, the edgy branding feels right at home, and the black and red color scheme stands out against that sea of neon and whites.
    It does look like a barbecue sauce flavored soda, though. Maybe the words "Root Beer" need to take up more of the can.

    This is my new favorite channel. As a creative director, I absolutely appreciate how much thought goes into each of your design choices. And I love the online feedback. Hilarious. Make that a ongoing bit please 😂😂😂😂

      Glad you're enjoying the videos! The Reddit bit was a lot of fun. Will certainly have to do that more :)

    I wouldn’t even have noticed that blast was comic sans! Well done!

    I just realized anytime sans talks his font is comic sans, anytime papyrus talks its in the font papyrus, AND THEY ARE BROTHERS

      And they were designed as parodies of the Skeleton Helvetica from the Comic of the same name.

    people are able to find something bad in everything, but their definition of a good design is "don't use what people think is bad, they can't be saved." what is good and bad is up to whoever sees it. in my eyes, these are the best things I've ever seen, and i would never notice they use any of the three fonts, and i wouldn't care either. all that matters is if it's good, and has actual work put into it, and all three fonts fit the design perfectly

    What a fun challenge and a great looking set in the end! Funny enough, a kid's treasure map was one of the analogies I used about Papyrus in my own recent video. Great stuff!

    its funny that sans and papyrus are hated, since those are also 2 of the most liked characters in undertale.

    Great video, only thing that threw me off was that the designs didn’t wrap around the container like they would if printed on it, so it feels like a 2d design on top of a 3d object, instead of a 2d design wrapped over the 3d object

    Whenever you were making each one, I was like, “it can’t get any better” but then you would add something that did. You’re amazing!
