This is great! This allows designers to understand what goes in the mind of a person going through your work and profile, which is a great way to get inspired and improve our work! Keep it up, Chris & Emily!!
I'm loving this series, as a 'Young Gun' myself, I appreciate seeing other designers my age getting recognition and help to grow further. Going to apply all these critiques and tips to my work and social presence too. Thanks! Keep it up everyone!
I still can't believe the amazing content you put to the table. I've watched about 100 videos from you guys and still watch every single one I can. Chris, not only do you teach design as a extremely professional career, but also teach about life in a very taoistic way, which I love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Chris and theFutur team!
I find really interesting the fact that Emily is a young designer, sitting with Chris, doing a portfolio review. On the one hand, she provides a refreshing touch to the video. On the other hand, she's very professional when commenting. What an awesome Padawan you have there, Master Do.

I love this series! I do have a professor that makes us write out what we spent time on and how long we spent time on it. A “time log”. We’re told the clients want to see the what our time is going into.
Just finished watching this season & season 2. I have to rate season 1 higher. It seemed...more human. There were vulnerabilities, discussions, the crew Aaron as in episode 7 chipping in. It didn't feel like Master Do standing in front of the class and teaching, but like Master Do sitting in a circle with the students and staff and everyone learning and contributing. Season 2 had the, "You are there and I am here" feel to it that is common in most TV competition shows, and which I think isn't always the best strategy. This season though was engaging. Could also be the fact that it had fewer contestants, so back and forth dialogues were easy? Anyway, from both seasons I have learnt a lot. Muchas Gracias to everyone who made both seasons possible and also to the contestants for allowing us to learn through and with them ♥️.
Glad I watched this! I'm about done with a portfolio website and was never taught the difference between prime marks and an actual apostrophe! I had a prime mark on my beginning page too
Love the show, great feedback on the portfolio. Scoring at the end is fine, if you actually do it, dropping a curve-ball of "scoring will come in the next episode" is cheating me as a viewer. again love the show, be proud of it, you don't need this type of hook to make people come back.
One thing that is left out, although it would be too hard to calculate and too invasive (possibly)... but consider taking into account how much people are making on these jobs. Having a lot of work and a good following is awesome, but making money is just as important. (that is a big reason why we do it)
6:30 Can there also be a verbal identity like the tone and terminology the customer care uses? Also maybe something like mindset identity like "think different", although this one is conveyed visually...
well, yeah. I didn't properly write what I meant, my bad. I kind of pictured something like rating and feedback for portfolios of viewers as a series, but not as in-depth as this series - like every video, different viewers would be rated and given feedback on their portfolio and maybe follow-up on changes.
Something I noticed is a lot of asmr people are artistic in some way. Then there are the ones that make "the weird part of CZcams", the weird part of CZcams if you know what I mean.
Hi, you’ve introduced the concept of stacking in this video. I’m into design, photography, and film. Should I focus on combining them into my work, or just focus on one area at a time? Thanks
Loooove your channel and content, so insightful! Also just for future reference (or should I say, futur* reference?? Ba dum tss) I'd think twice about taking their social media's follower count as your first impression. I know it's kind of inevitable because of Insta's layout but these days you can very easily buy followers or even likes from anyone and that'll basically direct a lot of numbers to our accounts without us having to do much, and regardless of our content. So if it's possible I'd say look at their feed/content first, and then move to the engagement etc and whether or not that would make sense. Just a thought! But awesome and helpful video guys, and I think all the designers mentioned have great talent too. Cheers!
Just tuned in to these episodes. @ 4.39 I don't know if anyone else caught that? Is it done on purpose? It says The Body Cliniic and also The Body Clinic....I hope it is fixed already if it was a typo :-) Otherwise great work!
Loving this series! I wish it was easier to find the next episode in "Up next" section but somehow it doesn't show up and I have to search it manually... Is it something you can control on CZcams?
yes, and that takes 2 more clicks with an unknown factor of wether the playlist appears easily under the playlist tab or not. So it's a good competition with the manual searching method. I sometimes see suggested videos embedded inside the video and thought this would be a solution, but I have no idea how easy/hard that is! Just pouring some feedback on ya :)
HELLO CHRIS HELLLO team FUTURE, Thanks for this amazing inspiring video. I am a young gun myself, and ur content really inspire me a lot to keep movin forward. My name is ankit, from india working in the graphic design industry for almost 3 to 4 years. I am a freelancer, describe myself in studio. ANKISTUDIO i have website (under construction right now) for showing design works, blog for my personal works, insta, and behance. not so much social following, but working, and staying motivated, and following your guidance. thank you so much for your guidance, time, and effort. love u all
Great episode! I’m curious, I’m the old gal in the room. So, back in the day, we called a logo, what you call a brand. But in this episode, you talk about seeing more of the personality and visual identity branding. Can you expound, or give a resource where I can read more? Thank you!
Thank you for the review. Could you recommend the way for representing design Portfolio to the creative agencies? If I want to talk with Art Director and discuss my portfolio and any opportunities to collaborate, how is it possible to communicate with the company and art/creative director?
Hahahahah hahahahaha Chris is so funny on this one. His face expressions tell everything before he even says it. Love that. And the girl! Who is she? Where is she now? What a duet! I believe this series is over now? Chris, would you review UX/UI portfolios? I think I have just asked a lot of questions. AAAAAAH love this
I would definitely suggest keeping the other account though. Instagram's algorithms love old accounts. If something happens to your main, or you need it for your company, better have an aged one already.
cfowler....legit stuff. His content is best. I could care less about numbers on instagram at least in terms of when I look at peoples profile. It's all about the content.
Hi chris, i just graduated from design school majoring in Product Design. As we lack of experience and our project would usually be set by our lecturers, how can we build a portfolio with amateur photography of our projects? Thank you! :)
Perri, you probably are new to the channel or this series. a while back I asked on social media for people to respond to a "casting call". very few people responded. this is who we got. they needed to have time, be articulate and have the capabilities to produce their own video. season 2 is all women. my hope is that more will be encouraged by the overall positive outcome of this series.
Thanks Arun! And yes Sarah, you can search ‘emily Xie’ on most social media sites and 80-90% the first one is me :) Or @_emilyxie on instagram for your convenience.
I just kept looking at Emily!
she is very sweet. you will need to brush your teeth afterwards. ;)
I can't believe I just watched 46 mins of this when I have class in 3 hours. Chris do stealing my sleep
sorry. #sleepStealer
This is great! This allows designers to understand what goes in the mind of a person going through your work and profile, which is a great way to get inspired and improve our work! Keep it up, Chris & Emily!!
At first I read your comment and was like okay... And then I was like 'Okay wait I know this person' 😂
I'm loving this series, as a 'Young Gun' myself, I appreciate seeing other designers my age getting recognition and help to grow further. Going to apply all these critiques and tips to my work and social presence too.
Thanks!
Keep it up everyone!
thanks. we salute you young gun!

Chris, not only do you teach design as a extremely professional career, but also teach about life in a very taoistic way, which I love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Chris and theFutur team!
thank you. Appreciate it!
What I really liked about this video is that they thoroughly see their work instead of rushing!
Chris nit-picking at Emily doing normal things makes me feel like he'd rip me apart if I ever were to sit down with him lol
Maybe maybe. ;)
same xD
I find really interesting the fact that Emily is a young designer, sitting with Chris, doing a portfolio review. On the one hand, she provides a refreshing touch to the video. On the other hand, she's very professional when commenting. What an awesome Padawan you have there, Master Do.
She’s awesome.

thanks for the tip.
This is the ep I’m most excited to see ever since seeing Sean’s work months ago, I’m also excited to see Spencer, Connor, Sharif, and Arun’s Work
watch and see how they grow.
Wow one young gun from India... great work Arun Sharma...
Thankyou :)
Chris's critiques are so on point & Emily's reactions are priceless. Really enjoyed the video!
we make a good combo right?
Emily is my new favorite 😏
I sense bias
Lol!
so, so biased.
War is going on with Young Guns
I love this series! I do have a professor that makes us write out what we spent time on and how long we spent time on it. A “time log”. We’re told the clients want to see the what our time is going into.
Keep making more videos about Youn guns... love it
ep. 3 is in the works.
Just finished watching this season & season 2. I have to rate season 1 higher. It seemed...more human. There were vulnerabilities, discussions, the crew Aaron as in episode 7 chipping in. It didn't feel like Master Do standing in front of the class and teaching, but like Master Do sitting in a circle with the students and staff and everyone learning and contributing.

Muchas Gracias to everyone who made both seasons possible and also to the contestants for allowing us to learn through and with them ♥️.
I want to sign up for "Old Geezers" when you start it. Never to late to become a designer.
Design for geriatric. haha.
Emily is me when Chris announced "...in the next Episode." 😂
Glad I watched this! I'm about done with a portfolio website and was never taught the difference between prime marks and an actual apostrophe! I had a prime mark on my beginning page too
Like Emily so much~! Her smile is so pretty and kind!
May i have a chance to know her facebook or any social account?
check the notes.
Great episode. Funny throughout and informative. I'm learning a lot and enjoying the process.
Love the show, great feedback on the portfolio. Scoring at the end is fine, if you actually do it, dropping a curve-ball of "scoring will come in the next episode" is cheating me as a viewer. again love the show, be proud of it, you don't need this type of hook to make people come back.
it's called a cliff hanger and it's been used in film and television for decades. didn't realize it was a cheat.
One thing that is left out, although it would be too hard to calculate and too invasive (possibly)... but consider taking into account how much people are making on these jobs. Having a lot of work and a good following is awesome, but making money is just as important. (that is a big reason why we do it)
from a coaching point of view, that's not important to us. money is not a measure of quality of work.
boy i need to change every think
This is really inspiring. Kudos to Chris and Emily - Nice combo! looking forward to the next Episode(s)
Amazing so much gain here from this video God bless you sir.
I learned more from this video than 5 other one I saw about making portfolios. Amazing content as always!
6:30 Can there also be a verbal identity like the tone and terminology the customer care uses? Also maybe something like mindset identity like "think different", although this one is conveyed visually...
branding is more than the logo. it's the look/feel, voice/tone and the "why".
Really informal video guys, would be cool if you did something similar to this for a few viewers.
aren't we do doing it with some of our viewers already in this video?
well, yeah. I didn't properly write what I meant, my bad.
I kind of pictured something like rating and feedback for portfolios of viewers as a series, but not as in-depth as this series - like every video, different viewers would be rated and given feedback on their portfolio and maybe follow-up on changes.
Really great series, keep it up!
I love this, it makes me improve my work n look at it in a different way now, thank you, do more plz😍😍👏💪
count on it Mai.
Came here to learn about portfolios. Did that while falling for Emily🤧🤧
22:51 You don't have to delete your posts! You can archive them. :) love this channel!
wow Chris, dont make fun of Emily's voice! she has a very ASMR-y voice :P
impylse yea Chris!
impylse what kind of voice is that?
relaxing/soothing
ASMR fan here... hi5 :D
Something I noticed is a lot of asmr people are artistic in some way. Then there are the ones that make "the weird part of CZcams", the weird part of CZcams if you know what I mean.
Amazing content! And the interaction between you guys is hilarious 😂
I think Emily is Chris's daughter or something. Their chemistry is on another level
Both are my fav design judges. Why I missed to watch those videos earlier 😣
31:17 Lol, Chris! You are so funny 😂
I'm 20 minutes in so idk yet, but I would like to see you guys checking the website responsiveness on phones and for instance their SoMe tags
You did not throw a cliffhanger at me rn...
Great series, though ☆
lol! Seriously? Wait until the next episode?! This is good stuff Chris. Keep em coming.
It's very distracting when you nit-pick people's normal behaviour. Otherwise it was a really great episode! Can't wait to see more
it's what I do. I guess you find me annoying.
Peter is my favorite!!!!!
I love this episode:)
who is peter?
Peter Mckinnon☺😊
The cliffhanger at the end 😭 I'm already staying up at 2:30 am watching this when I have work tomorrow morning 😅
one of the best episode :)
How do you approach telling your story with positioning yourself as a specialist? Do you have more videos on that in depth?
Hi, you’ve introduced the concept of stacking in this video. I’m into design, photography, and film. Should I focus on combining them into my work, or just focus on one area at a time? Thanks
stack as many as possible into one elegant career.
this is great but i wish yall would sync the screen recordings
syncing? is it out of sync?
The Futur yes 😥
@@thefutur whenever the screen recording gets on, we dont see what you are talking about until after a few seconds.
Great video ;)
Also, I had to google what Shutterfly is lol
That part had me cracking up
Salman Khan ok. Ok. Now you guys are just making fun of the old man.
Loooove your channel and content, so insightful!
Also just for future reference (or should I say, futur* reference?? Ba dum tss) I'd think twice about taking their social media's follower count as your first impression. I know it's kind of inevitable because of Insta's layout but these days you can very easily buy followers or even likes from anyone and that'll basically direct a lot of numbers to our accounts without us having to do much, and regardless of our content.

But awesome and helpful video guys, and I think all the designers mentioned have great talent too. Cheers!
Love this series.
glad to hear.
(23:15) "Shutterfly" hahaha! Emilys reaction was hilarious, and also fun to see Chris sweat a little ;)
I didn’t swear.
awkward moment when Emily is so busy to air drumming when Chris want this show keep rolling :D
Alabazter Al LOL
hey there my music group are young guns too and they like your channel...thanks for the great content
sweet. thanks!
great content,loved it
Just tuned in to these episodes. @ 4.39 I don't know if anyone else caught that? Is it done on purpose? It says The Body Cliniic and also The Body Clinic....I hope it is fixed already if it was a typo :-) Otherwise great work!
It's so funny that when I took the page down, this mistake was noticed haha
Scientist X there is a two year time gap after all!
Loving this series! I wish it was easier to find the next episode in "Up next" section but somehow it doesn't show up and I have to search it manually... Is it something you can control on CZcams?
you can just watch the young guns playlist.
yes, and that takes 2 more clicks with an unknown factor of wether the playlist appears easily under the playlist tab or not. So it's a good competition with the manual searching method. I sometimes see suggested videos embedded inside the video and thought this would be a solution, but I have no idea how easy/hard that is! Just pouring some feedback on ya :)
43:48 i loved the moment.. :)
editor overwrote some cam moments of her, with info slides.
I used to work at Shutterfly so it was so funny to hear it mentioned in this video.
it's still around right? or am i just too old?

Sharif El Komi thanks so much. I will definitely watch that video.
Really appreciate the content you put out! Super helpful, thanks a lot! ♥︎
Aldus Freehand! YES! :P
James Caddy hehe. Lots of people scratching their head on that one.
Yes, Chris, no one uses shutter fly lol 😆
Any tips on how I can show my personality through my website? Without integrating social platforms like - Twitter & Insta
chris...would you tell me what brand are your glasses... please
What crack me up is the OLD GUNS part..... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Nice review
Samuel David hehe
we are waiting for the third and fourth episode.... lol
Samuel David me too
😋
we are waiting, this is a suspense
11:45 not everyone is insta famous! So, if you work isn't getting much/consistent appreciation on socials, should you not link to it at all?
It’s not going to help you grow. Give value.
Nice video I would like to see more like this video
new episode drops next week.
Thank you for the review. Could you recommend the way for representing design Portfolio to the creative agencies? If I want to talk with Art Director and discuss my portfolio and any opportunities to collaborate, how is it possible to communicate with the company and art/creative director?
Loved the video! What's the process to apply for being featured in this series? :D
follow us on social media so that you can be notified when we cast season 2.
i'm at: @thechrisdo on twitter, but also check out the Futur FB page.
Just followed Chris, Emily, and The Futur on IG 😊
Yay 😀
Hahahahah hahahahaha
Chris is so funny on this one. His face expressions tell everything before he even says it. Love that. And the girl! Who is she? Where is she now? What a duet! I believe this series is over now?
Chris, would you review UX/UI portfolios?
I think I have just asked a lot of questions.
AAAAAAH love this
I don’t review portfolios at the moment.
@@thefutur You have answered all my comments since forever. I really appreciate you Chris! Thanks you!
I would definitely suggest keeping the other account though. Instagram's algorithms love old accounts. If something happens to your main, or you need it for your company, better have an aged one already.
What is Young Guns series? And how to get my portfolio reviewed?
Big shout to Fareham, Hants.
Please - let’s talk about Aldus Freehand!
23:20 was a good insight on how funny chris is xD
Amazing content! Awesome channel. glad I clicked :)
Yay. Welcome.
Thanks for this video man
cfowler....legit stuff. His content is best. I could care less about numbers on instagram at least in terms of when I look at peoples profile. It's all about the content.
cweb1988 True!
Appreciate it
Nice
This is random, but in the window panels from the first artist, he spelled “correction” wrong which I thought was kind of ironic lol.
Hi chris, i just graduated from design school majoring in Product Design. As we lack of experience and our project would usually be set by our lecturers, how can we build a portfolio with amateur photography of our projects? Thank you! :)
The typeface on the titles in this video is gorgeous. What is it?
David Martins Futura Bold.
You guys are the coolest. Cheers!
31:31 Chris kardashian :D XD
lol. i forgot about that part where Emily talks sweet about Connor.
I want to be in the next young guns!!!1...wonder how thefutur chooses their young guns.
great video - as always. i think the song in the outro was too loud. make sure that the audio track is consistent. :-)
You guys are freaking hilarious! Hahaha!
I don't normally click 'like' on videos, but I seem to always seem to do on The Futur's..
And we Appreciate it
@@thefutur
How do you submit your work for the next review?
this series is only available for these 5 young guns.
The Futur ok
The Laptop recordings are way behind you speaking, gets very confusing!
31:26, the 5 years old Chris
it would've be more inclusive of you to have women designers' portfolio critiqued as well because favoring just men is off-putting
Perri, you probably are new to the channel or this series. a while back I asked on social media for people to respond to a "casting call". very few people responded. this is who we got. they needed to have time, be articulate and have the capabilities to produce their own video.
season 2 is all women. my hope is that more will be encouraged by the overall positive outcome of this series.
Where are all the female designers???
season 2.
Outside nattering about shopping.
Where is Emily's information? I would already be following her if it was listed below the video. ;)
just look up emily xie
Thanks Arun! And yes Sarah, you can search ‘emily Xie’ on most social media sites and 80-90% the first one is me :)
Or @_emilyxie on instagram for your convenience.
obviously each has strengths that they can play to.
like if you think they're choosing Sean Campbell xD
How can I get my portfolio reviewed by you guys? I submitted a request at your website but wouldn't mind to know the process!
the man suggested shutterfly!
he said do you? "no" me neither, looks at camera ahah got emm
Sharif did have a website, it said on his instagram page
