Magazine page design fundamentals—The Good, The Bad, and the Outrageous

I've had this pervasive idea bouncing around in my head lately, especially when I'm looking at the work of young designers on Instagram, Behance, Pinterest, and even here on YouTube. There's a lot of good work being done, but also so much opportunity to even greater work. My guess is that there are thousands of young designers exiting the university or design school, yet struggling to find quality work in the design industry. So they turn to sharing their design skills on social media, but without any real, over-the-shoulder, design mentorship. It's my goal to do more videos where I give more instruction on what I believe takes designs from good to great. And in this video, I show off three different design styles for the same page, and how to take functional yet boring designs and turn them into something with a bit more energy and courage. === === === Get the book: Making and Breaking the Grid https://amzn.to/3i1jFPS === === === === My Art and Merch: https://www.daveconrey.com/​​ === === === === Become a Patreon Member - Get sweet bennies   / daveconrey   === === === === My Books https://bit.ly/authordave​​ === === === === My Gear Apple 16-inch Macbook Pro w/ 2.3Ghz i9 processor, 16gb Ram, 1Tb HD https://amzn.to/2MYxJMy​​ Huion HS611 Graphics Drawing https://amzn.to/3qdgh53​​ Canon EOS 80d DSLR https://amzn.to/38Ik2tH​​ Canon 10-18mm zoom lens https://amzn.to/37pWjwY​ Neewer two-pack LED lighting https://amzn.to/3s6SrJf​ === === === === Social Media: YouTube:    / daveconrey​​   TikTok:   / davemakesthings​​   Instagram:   / daveconrey​​   Twitter:   / daveconrey​​   Twitch:   / daveconrey​​   Special thanks to these RAD Patreon Members: Kevin H.
