Lovely pattern recognition

I like this one, Elliott. I have my own work that I make and sell when I choose to but I have done a lot of work for your colleagues and art museums and architects and designers and that's what I really enjoy paying the bills with. Much in thanks to being accepted to and attending Metal Smithing at Cranbrook. I have a very specific skill set, and I'm doing something different all the time.

Your series has made me rethink a decision to give up art by providing practical strategies to not let it be a waste of time/a life. Thank you for your efforts. Please don't stop.

The work works on you too. Its a refinement process that goes both ways! Being an outsider is tough but being a non starter is truly abysmal. Thank you for the video!

"Work is made before the opportunity presents itself!" That is very true and hard hitting.

This was helpful

Rivers in type layout are a big issue, I've noticed it with younger designers that grew up doing digital only. For some reason they always want to justify lots of text.

The legibility of the magazine cover you could find is so atrocious, and so visually painful to the eyes, that *it* feels like parody. Sounds like transference on their part 😂

I can't tell if I'm an outsider or if my art is just bad lol

Powerful advice, thank you

The ultimate freedom is to be left go by the machine. The phone rings when you stand on your own.

Don’t use justified type-got it

These stuff should be taught at uni

This video is cool af

If you build it, they will come. It doesn’t work in reverse. Great talk Mr. Earls. Much appreciated.

such a big fan of your videos. criminally low subscriber count compared to the value you are providing.. the good news is, as subscribers come, they go through the archive so just keep on going.

The value that you are offering by making videos like this one is just immense. Thank you 🙏

Hey Elliot, I absolutely love your channel and this piece of advice coincides well with your previous advice of developing design instincts. Your work arounds for trying to create the work you want to create in the style you want it as well will develop your style and the parts of your work that is YOU more so than the actual content. As a skater so often you hear that people want to film a video/full length but they just need a nicer camera/a Filmer/a car/better spots/etc……etc….. I finally stopped making excuses two years ago with my ideas and just started making what I thought of and now looking back I have accomplished far more than I could have imagined! I Finished my first full length skate video in may and sold out of my fourth batch of hand screen printed clothes, thanks to people like you for giving advice and making the creative journey a lot less lonely and scary.

"There is no win and no fail. There is only make."
- Corita Kent One of my favourite quotes which I think dovetails nicely with the theme of this video.

Thanks

Just had to contact a friend as I nearly had a breakdown from feeling so isolated so this is perfect timing 😢🙏

I think I can't be thankful enough for your thoughts.

Thank u 🙏

This is all great as a student trying to make a living with my work

Thank you for everything you are sharing. It means a lot.

What an outstanding episode. I've been procrastinating/ half-assing for like 3-4 years (ever since I decided that I wanted to write, basically). It hasn't been easy, because I started to receive screenwriting lessons, got told by the teacher that I showed promise and that he wanted me in his team like super-fast, then covid struck almost immediately and I had to deal with deaths in the family, depression and a FUCKING existential OCD that brought me to the edge. Now I have fortunately recovered (because I am an absolute mental health champion) but it is undoubtedly the case that I don't have the work. I still have a spot in the production studio (although I feel like I don't deserve it) and also I feel that, being 30, I'm too old to be a noob. But then again, if I don't take the chance now, when? It's so great to be able to watch a video like this, from someone genuine like you, that seems to come at the perfect moment. Thanks for your advice and for sharing your experience with the world

Hey, I'm a design student. I wanted to say I really love your stories and I find the way you present some concepts really insightful. Thanks!

Sire, keep doing this series! finding you have been a big treasure for me

I'm so glad we're hip graphic designers my dude 🙌 just found this channel, fucking brilliant

I am 63 years old and still working as a designer but as a freelancer because no one would hire me at this age. It is my livelihood and I am glad that it is. I love what I do. There is no way I want to retire and stop working so I muddle on and design is all I know and all I want to continue doing. Enjoyed your talk today. Thank you.

Full of value. But by far is MOST important is in the last 1 min

Bro thanks for making this info free

That's a really nice jacket.

Thank you so much for this gem ✏️

Well done, sir. Super-engaging. A masterclass in UA-cam authenticity

Are you scared of ai taking over ? I am about to begin my career as a design student, and scared shitless.

Get real. The hardest part is getting someone to hand over money. Tf is this video lmao

I would have liked to see that personal anecdote video about Carson. I like his work a lot and had no idea there was hate for him in the design world. Why?

I totally agree with your concerns about work ethic, but I don’t understand what you mean by a return to “the real”. Do you mean realistic depictions? Or having to submit actual material works to art schools? Or something else?

Fucking brilliant

Great advice!

Ru still working as GD? Sadly nobody will hire u

This is what I felt was missing from my very technical Advertising Arts degree. So grateful I came across your work.

Anyone who says "Art is easy" isn't doing the real task.

I would love a part 2 on this going into the two solutions in more detail. Maybe with examples. Pretending a client asks you to make something read or change something and you know it's gonna look horrible

The Real origin of this madness is an Epidemic of social media characters who blindly push any new tech that the tech -lords release, strictly out if sheer fear they won't be relevant if they don't adapt and support this new tech. Therefore, they depict how awesome it is, and so - you get a magic loop of blind endorsement. Those NPC's did it for NFT when it came out. They pushed the failed Instagram threads when it released. And now AI. They're scared if they don't hug it, then others will, and that will enable them to bypass their virtual social/professional status in the industry 🥲
