Sir, i like your series. It's very helpfull for me.
Really looking forward to this series, have gotten a lot of tips from your other series and your website, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on Graphic Design ^^ QUESTION: I have a question for you though, is it possible to remove gradient banding in Illustrator? (Lines within the gradient) I know this is possible to remove in photoshop by using noise effect.
you should make this earlier. 🙁 I've already graduated in graphic design.
Amazing series
due to your definition of graphic design,what is the difference between Graphic design and Infographic?
at about 2:30 PRINCIPAL is spelled wrong I think, principles of design is what I know from years of schooling.. maybe a second look? excellent series! great work.
You're awesome!
