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 on six graphic design rules that you

should never break let me know what you guys saw up to this video in the comment
