I'm a communication design student in the 5th semester. And honestly I really do learn a lot more about design from your videos than I did in my entire degree. You're such a great inspiration. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! And pls never stop doing what you do.
Wow thank you 💛Thank you for the kind words and support, glad the videos are helpful 😊
Same. I'm currently in college for a web design degree. I learn more from her videos than in school.
Thats kinda sad guys..
That's so true. Just discovering and watching this video now, but I swear, 2nd year in, I've been learning all the adobe programs better with CZcams videos than from my professor.
I totally agree with you. Graduated from uni, but none of the professors taught us about all those tools and how to use them. Isn’t it kind of sad that they expect all their students to know these beforehand? like… they’re there to learn from scratch?…
Abi you are amazing!!!! I would never ever be able to learn design essentials by myself if you didn't do these videos! I am learning so so much!!!! Thank you!! I am studying e-learning at university and I want to learn how to design everything (like icons) for e-learning-programs by myself. I Think it's a huge plus when you are able to design everything beautifully.
I love her inspiring attitude! She is just simply the best design instructor in the whole wide world. Lots of love, Abi. :)
Thank you, this means a lot! I hope the videos are useful & you’re learning a lot from them, I appraise the love & support 😊💛
whole wide world🤣🤣🤣
Loved it! I'm about to start working on type manipulation for a client so this came at a great time lol. I usually gravitate towards the blob brush tool instead of the pencil tool when making customizations
Thank you! ☺️ I’ve never really used the blob brush, I sometimes use just the brush, but I will have to give it a go! 😊
You are teaching me so much! I’m a second year graphic design student. Such helpful videos thank you! X
So glad you're learning from the videos😊 It's why I create them in the first place, so thank you for this comment! I wish you the best at Uni/College💛
So helpful as always Abi. Feels like I learn more from you than I do in my graphic design classes ♡
Happy to help! Glad the videos have been useful, appreciate your support😊
Abi is the sweetest person in the whole wide world ❤️ Her attitude just inspires me and I always see a smile on her face. Love your videos and never forget how proud of you I am 🥺💫
You are the sweetest person!! Thank you so much angel!! Love reading your comments each week 🧡
I really don't know if thank you is a good enough word to use to express how much I appreciate your videos. Many persons have skills, but only few know how to teach others that skill.
Wow thank you, this comment, it means a lot, glad I'm able to teach and inspire other people 💛
This (and a lot of your other videos) inspires me to customize font WAY MORE often!
I'm so glad!😊
So this 64 year old just learned a ton of stuff in about 12 minutes!!! You are a great instructor! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I really appreciate this comment 😊 Glad the video was informative and of help!
This video is amazing! Thanks for the consistently great and inspiring content.
Abi! I really love your videos. I can tell how much thought you put into each video and the skills you teach in each video is invaluable! I am been wanting to get better at logos this year, as I feel it is my weak point in my business, and your tips and tricks have been incredibly helpful. Thank you thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
BTW - Would really love to see a video of your entire strategy/design process from starting wit the brand, coming up with the strategy behind the brand, then aesthetics, then creating their brand board presentation. Totally don't have to film this video, just throwing it out there 🙂
This is amazing! Thank you for your kind words, there is a lot of effort that goes into them, but I'm glad its paying off and helping to educate and inspire people! I wish you the best, you're going to smash this year! 😊💛
I have done something similar in this video: czcams.com/video/x14BB1UMZgw/video.html
But I will still make a note of it for future reference! Thank you 😊
Thank you for this short informative video. I feel so overwhelm of trying it out but now I think I can do it because on how simple you explain things . ❤
Glad it was helpful!😊
My struggle with customizing font is real. This helps a lot abi. I found you the most motivational and inspiring friend in my life. Even tho you are busy with so many things but you always listen to me and respond to me. Thank you for always being there for me. Also, miss your studio vibes so much, I will pray that you will get back to your studio vibes again in this new apartment.❤❤
Awww thank you so much for this!😍 Always appreciate your support! The studio was lovely but it was just a location, the vibes are a forever thing, they will be bought with me into the new apartment! 😊💛
@@abiconnick Yes, wanna see new apartment studio vibes. So excited.🥰

💛appreciate this comment so much, thank you for your continued support and kind words, Glad the videos have been helpful, much love💛💛💛
Best things that I have learned today. Thank you soo much for the amazing content.I also noticed your hard work on creating this video such as shooting yourself to showcase that you are working wiht your computer, the spects and seriousness in your face made the video more interesting; also showing yourself typing on the keyboard and mouse with blur effect also was good. Motion graphic is also is in next level. Thanks a ton for all the amazing ticks.
Really appreciate it, thank you 😊
Ive been watching your videos and i've always wondered what tools you were using to achieve your ideas. This video is a godsend because this answers all my questions so thank you :)
No worries, glad the video could be of help! Thank you for your support😊💛

I'm baffled by how young while being so professional you are. Mad respect
