Graphic Design Done Right vs Wrong! transcript

one of these designs is considered amateur skill level and one is considered professional and the other is Master tier but which or which and more importantly why so the big reveal this design would be considered amateur from the standpoint of composition but why might you consider this design to have an amateur level composition or layout the first big giveaway is a chaotic and almost random layout one that doesn't help lead the viewer's eye at all there are various Design Elements such as blocks of typography icons and Graphics all of which are randomly placed and just do not help lead the viewer's eye on this design so on the pro level design notice how the typography now has its own proximity group it isn't just randomly placed all over the design Here There and Everywhere I've seen amateur designers sprinkle typography all over the designs thinking this is the best approach most of the time this will distract the viewer and make the design confusing instead think smart and group things together wherever possible also we have a clear divide of the visual graphics and then the typography on the left so the composition has a neat order and a balance firstly let's start with the focal point over on the left and this is so the viewer sees this first and then moves over to the information on the right but on this third design notice how the model's head creeps outside of the blue Circle a tiny tiny bit this is how a master designer thinks they know when and how to break away from being too rigid and too perfect because in this instance the head ushers your view over to the right more so and that's just because it creeps out of that blue circle also notice how the red and scon graphics on the left also point in a right direction and this furthers that directional movement for the eye
