today six graphic design rules that you
should never break so how many of these
graphic design rules have you broken in
the past how many do you still think
today what is that people welcome back
to tutor graphics home of graphic design
content right here on YouTube I was
sorry this week I've only uploaded three
videos and today is gonna be quite a
short video as well because I still
under the weather had a slight cold but
I made the mistake of going to the gym
I'm working out which amplified a
tenfold I'm here making a video for you
guys today on the synth graphic design
rules you should never break unlike any
Brits I've got my tea which is gonna
have quite a lot so let's jump in
today's video on six graphic design rules
you should never break so the first
graphic design rule you should never
break is that you should always make a
liquor design a vector as opposed to a
raster this is simply because if the
local design is actually a vector you
can scale that let go up or down to any
size and still retain crisp quality I
see amateur and novice designers always
complaining that they cannot use a debit
iterator to design a logo so that use
Photoshop is dead sure you can actually
design the logo in Photoshop it looks
great but what if that Logan needs to be
scaled down to a small business card or
scaled up to a billboard it's going to
lose quality and its really pixelated so
you should always design a logo in a
vector based software such as adobe
illustrator or maybe coral drill if you
can't use illustrator then learn how
it's quite simple
so the second graphic design rule that
you should never break is color discord
let's just take a bit of time again used
to and some people do have a natural eye
for this you can teach yourself how to
use color in graphic design you
basically want to learn at what colors
complement each other and work well as a
team if colors are fighting with each
other on a design it confuses the viewer
and also turns them off and thus your
graphic design being irrelevant and
useless so research and books will look
on the internet and what color
combinations work well together and how
to use them now the third graph design
rule that you should never break it's a
big one and it's kerning your typography
this is more relevant when it comes to
logo type and also bold headings and
titles for such things as magazines or
poster designs by default most typefaces
haven't got amazing kerning so you need
to pay attention and spend a lot of time
focusing on the kerning between each
individual letter and it's opposing
partner again this is something that you
can have an eye for but you also you can
teach yourself how to do this one trick
is to take a step back from the screen
and focus your eyes so you can see the
gaps within each letter properly there's
nothing worse than a logo design with
poor kerning which renders it illegible
or unattractive the fourth graphic
design rule that you should never break
is again to do with typography and that
is you should never stretch typography
the vast majority of typefaces were
designed precision and a lot of time was
given to them
making sure that elegant and everything
flows well together without being said
you never want to stretch typography a
seasoned graphic designer instantly be
able to see if a phone is been stretched
or not and if the person looking at it's
not seasoned designer they will feel
like something's not right so yeah guys
never stretch your typography
the fifth graphic design rule that you
should never break is give your
typography room to breathe
think of your typography as an animal
you don't want to put into a cage with
no room to breathe and live you want to
thrive and to do its job properly so
utilize negative space and give your
typography that room to breathe and do
its job when you graph a design projects
the sixth and final graphic design rule
that you should never break is using too
many fonts on one graphic design now I
see that broken so often by people and
designers you do not want to confuse the
viewer who's looking at Grapher design
work and you want everything to be
focused in a stylish manner so limit
yourself to three fonts maximum but I
suggest to for most graphic designs
again you don't want your viewer to be
confused and turn off when your graphic
design work so there was my quick video

should never break let me know what you
