Straight TF up! Seems like one of the most if not the most down to earth designer I’ve tapped into in years. Right on FUTR. You guys need to have a podcast or something.....
I'm 31. I've been a designer for 10 years, and many times I've felt like I don't know what I'm doing, or that I'm not good enough, or where to go next. And also, most of those times, I'm not even sure why I'm feeling that way. This conversation has been very revealing, it gave me a lot of perspective. It makes me think about what I'm doing right now, how I do it and why I decided to do it. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a transformation, even if it's a little one. Thank you, Sagi and Chris. Keep doing what you're doing.
You can tell how passionate he is about design from his intensity. Gotta command Chris for keeping the interview on the ground for the average freelancer out there. Edit: 30:05 LOL
I could literally listen to Sagi all day long, he has such a calm, intelligent soft yet confident persona. Question: I would love to know what you &/or Sagi would advise how to deal with product managers who believe they know more about design than a designer & who also push different ideas to that of what a designer has discussed with the decision maker? How do you stay “nice” in such a frustrating scenario. Constantly being spoken over, or down to like you know nothing about your industry. I have a particular client who is amazing with an amazing vision for her company but her product manager is an absolute nightmare to deal with.
Thank you Chris for this content and for the energy you bring up with every video. I nearly lost passion for art and design after working for more than 10 years. I did nearly everything that's possible: branding, web, apps, illustrations, concept art, covers, posters, paid contest and unpaid contests. Because of that I even cut ties with design 2 years ago and started to tattoo. But just recently your videos came up and something clicked. I don't know where this will lead me but I feel it's good. I do lack so much in ares like business and design theory but your videos clear that up better than I could imagine, better than any university I would go to. Don't stop.
What a nice person and excellent on camera! He's also a very good communicator and has deep knowledge of design (checkout the other live stream as well). The chemistry between Sagi and Chris is very pleasant to watch. I would love to see more Sagi on the channel. Team up with him! ;) Thank you very much.
I don't know why but Sagi Haviv just by looking at him, he inspires sharp and authentic logo design 😆 , and I really like his mindset about being pround of a design first before trying to sell it to a client ! A very interesting interview !
What I've noticed with competent people is that they're comfortable with being real, instead of nice maybe "warm" would be the word? Warm and with high integrity (won't be anybody's doormat).
Sagi said something important, please explain in a future video, 10:48 "When we're really proud of it, we ask: HOW CAN WE MAKE THE CLIENT BUY THAT ONE?"
wow thank you so much Chris! two great interviews! Im a graphic design student, love and want to become an illustrator so i always wonder how to be the greatest i can be - this is such an underrated profession - even within graphic design
I think Chris kind of misunderstands what Sagi means by "being nice". Chris seems to feel that "being nice" means doing things for people and saying yes, even at the expense of yourself. But the way I see it, Sagi refers to the way you treat people, the energy you bring, the intent you carry and the way you see other people: not as opponents or obstacles, but as people.
I think I understood him. if you listen to his examples, it was about doing stuff that you don't get paid to do. I'm not a big fan of this. but I am a big fan of being human. being kind and thoughtful.
Another great interview guys! I can't tell you how informational and eye opening these Adobe MAX interviews have been for me. Great work Chris and all of The Futur team!
Being nice is so misunderstood in my opinion, but absolutely essential in life. As was said, you don’t have to be a pushover, but you do need to look for the best in people (which can take some digging sometimes).
Great interview, all around. I really appreciate a forum such as this, where challenging questions get asked and answered, because the tough questions about pricing, value of design, etc. can be such intimidating barriers to entry for us designers.
Little did I know, the posters on the right are just glorious pieces of art but in random order, turns out to be the name of the chapters in one of my favorite books of all time.
Any tips on how to fill my portfolio even if i don't have past design jobs? I'm still starting on design. And i want to establish my portfolio so that i can show something to my clients when i offer them my services. Thank you!
Lol! While his perspectives are enlightening, and agree about “core competencies”, however not sure if he understands that design is a two way communication/interaction n understanding needs of the clients , vs it’s all about me and how amazing I am! Or it’s my way or highway ✌️ Kudos to Chris for doing a great job as a facilitator. Btw: my POV about Cooper’s design education quality has changed. I only wished he had gone to Art Center tho.
I appreciate your videos so much, and this is just golden! I laughed so loud at some parts!!! Thank you to all, for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Love this so much! Also, don't think we didn't notice those pants, Chris! Super on brand for thefutur! 👍 also really appreciate the energy 😊 thank you!
Most crazy, non serious host I saw ever. He was interpreted, bothered to Sagi Haviv with his stupid laugh and stupid inter-petition while Haviv speaking.
after listening to this and the unmesh one, a common theme seems to be finding your strengths. my mastermind is currently reading a book called strengths finder 2.0 by tom rath. it comes with a quiz that you take beforehand. but yea, hope that helps someone lol
I really like theese videos... but it bothers me verry much that Chris Do always interupts the guests. First it's rude, and secon it's interupting the guest to finish the sentence.
I have a client right now, that persists on keeping his old logo and doesnt want to try something new. I made rebrand sketches for him that i LOVE, right now i dont see putting this work into my portfolio because it doesnt look good. Should i let him go, should i put an ultimatum? How can i convince him to take the better version?
“If you deserve to be there, you can’t be afraid.”
Sagi Haviv has officially been added to the list of people I want to meet
that's going to be a good list.
Just wrote that in my Google keep
Right?! What a cool guy.
Straight TF up! Seems like one of the most if not the most down to earth designer I’ve tapped into in years. Right on FUTR. You guys need to have a podcast or something.....
Sagi is such a beautiful soul. He resonates good vibes.
I'm 31. I've been a designer for 10 years, and many times I've felt like I don't know what I'm doing, or that I'm not good enough, or where to go next. And also, most of those times, I'm not even sure why I'm feeling that way. This conversation has been very revealing, it gave me a lot of perspective.

Thank you, Sagi and Chris. Keep doing what you're doing.
Glad to hear
Juan Carlos Prada Love this comment.
The Futur having the best guests possible to us designers! Awesome job guys!
Thank you so much

Edit: 30:05 LOL
Loved the last interview with Sagi and this is no different. The guy is so eloquent, talk about a role model!
Aspirational goals
He is indeed a successful businessman who has grasped the rules of the game in the business market.Then，he is so professional in design area.
Chris is such a good teacher he explains complex stuff in such a way that even a 6 year old can understand.
Sagi haviv changed my logo designs forever.
same here :)
I've loved the moment in which he says that successful people are nice. Awesome interview!
Found him 2 days ago, Sagi Haviv is already my idol and my role model. He seems like an amazing professional and human being!
So many great insights! Incredible interview
Ben, you have great tutorials. Thanks
thanks Ben!
When I hear Sagi say ‘be nice’ I hear be kind, be civil and don’t be a jerk. Being nice doesn’t mean being a pushover Chris!
Yes
The Futur Thanks Chris, I know you were playing devil’s advocate! A really uplifting interview and discussion with Sagi.
Sagi Haviv it's such a great guy! Thanks Chris for bringing him on the show.
it's my pleasure

Sagi Haviv I know I will get to meet you some day, you are indeed a great guy that I can feel even from a distance.

let's see what we can do.
I don't know why but Sagi Haviv just by looking at him, he inspires sharp and authentic logo design 😆 , and I really like his mindset about being pround of a design first before trying to sell it to a client !
A very interesting interview !
Haha. I know what you mean.
3:21 The moment Chris has had enough, pulls a boss move and walks off in the middle of you pitch. 😂
Chris is very enthusiastic. I love his energy you can see that he really loves what he does.
What I've noticed with competent people is that they're comfortable with being real, instead of nice maybe "warm" would be the word? Warm and with high integrity (won't be anybody's doormat).
My favorite master Chris Do with another master mind Sagi Haviv!!!
Sagi said something important, please explain in a future video, 10:48 "When we're really proud of it, we ask: HOW CAN WE MAKE THE CLIENT BUY THAT ONE?"
Hagi is such a vibe mayne...I like him!!
wow thank you so much Chris! two great interviews!
Im a graphic design student, love and want to become an illustrator so i always wonder how to be the greatest i can be - this is such an underrated profession - even within graphic design
i started watching Sagi videos cos man is always smiling lol
I think Chris kind of misunderstands what Sagi means by "being nice". Chris seems to feel that "being nice" means doing things for people and saying yes, even at the expense of yourself.

Thank you 😊
yesterday we got Paula, and now this guy. Just Wow
Being nice is so misunderstood in my opinion, but absolutely essential in life. As was said, you don’t have to be a pushover, but you do need to look for the best in people (which can take some digging sometimes).
Sagi haviv is a god for designers
Chris and Sagi have such great chemistry on screen.
Awww. Thank you
The greatest chemistry ever
@18:21 Sagi, "I have a hard time taking no for an answer" -- all interns just shuttered, clients beware. 😜🤣🙌🏼
Great interview, all around. I really appreciate a forum such as this, where challenging questions get asked and answered, because the tough questions about pricing, value of design, etc. can be such intimidating barriers to entry for us designers.
Man! I love how Chris is dissecting all the possible opportunities he can make with by reading Sagi.
44:25 , that just blow my mind, love it.
Little did I know, the posters on the right are just glorious pieces of art but in random order, turns out to be the name of the chapters in one of my favorite books of all time.
may i ask what book ?
38:16 "that's a GIF"
How am I just now learning about this amazing talent! Better late than never.
Watching this again, 4 years later. Still incredibly relevent and useful.
Yes.
Thank you all very much . ..
Sagi should start a podcast
Any tips on how to fill my portfolio even if i don't have past design jobs? I'm still starting on design. And i want to establish my portfolio so that i can show something to my clients when i offer them my services. Thank you!
Love the overnight test - I’ll hang it on the wall and do that for as long as needed.
More Sagi Haviv please! 🙏🙏🙏
Lol! While his perspectives are enlightening, and agree about “core competencies”, however not sure if he understands that design is a two way communication/interaction n understanding needs of the clients , vs it’s all about me and how amazing I am! Or it’s my way or highway ✌️
Kudos to Chris for doing a great job as a facilitator.
Btw: my POV about Cooper’s design education quality has changed. I only wished he had gone to Art Center tho.
Pierre Richard thank you so much!

Now I understand why Mobil gas stations are so cool.

Can’t hate on that.
He's so nice
Ahh...been waiting for this interview💚
He looks like a CG character
Thanks Futur Sagi is my role model

I learned so much from an hour long vid

21:25 didnt see that coming! Haha
I rewatch this sometimes just because I want to hear, "Don't... be... facetious..."
Love this so much! Also, don't think we didn't notice those pants, Chris! Super on brand for thefutur! 👍 also really appreciate the energy 😊 thank you!
I do it for just that reason.
@@thefuturI knew it! I'm always taking notes 😉
I'm pretty sure you have to actively use a trademark in the EU also, in order to not be challenged on its ownership.
Exactly what they said
Most crazy, non serious host I saw ever. He was interpreted, bothered to Sagi Haviv with his stupid laugh and stupid inter-petition while Haviv speaking.
My favorite guest every on The Futur.
Great guy and interview, worth listening to, even if you work in a completely different field...
Love this guy!!
Chris the shade of your pants is not matching with the suite up there...haha
Haha. I should have checked.
Thanks for the upload. Captivating and interesting.
You can be nice and have boundaries.

Sagi Haviv is himself, a master design. *drool*
A lot to learn from this conversation.
21:08 Don't be stupid!!!! Be nice! hilarious
after listening to this and the unmesh one, a common theme seems to be finding your strengths. my mastermind is currently reading a book called strengths finder 2.0 by tom rath. it comes with a quiz that you take beforehand. but yea, hope that helps someone lol
Reallyyyyyy thank youu the futur for those interviews !!
I really like theese videos... but it bothers me verry much that Chris Do always interupts the guests. First it's rude, and secon it's interupting the guest to finish the sentence.

Thanks Sagi
29:58 it is actually AREGA TOGUZAY MASHTA!
I have a client right now, that persists on keeping his old logo and doesnt want to try something new. I made rebrand sketches for him that i LOVE, right now i dont see putting this work into my portfolio because it doesnt look good. Should i let him go, should i put an ultimatum? How can i convince him to take the better version?
He gives out Tony Robbins Vibe's for some reason
Don't be stupid. Be nice. And great. Don't compromise. Always start with an idea. Know who you are.
I'm on the floor))
🙌
Thank you 💓
8:38 😂😂

Anyone else think Sagi sounds like Joaquim Phoenix in Joker?
SAGI!
