Typography: Form & Communication by Philip Meggs & David Carter: Dive into the history of letterforms from ancient Egypt to modern times.

“Ask Better Questions” — Chris Do on Creative Confidence & Client Trust 🎨✨ #ChrisDo Chris shares one of the most important lessons from his creative career — asking questions makes you stronger, not weaker. 💬✨ Early on, he held back, worried it would reveal inexperience. But he learned that the opposite is true: Questions show you’re paying attention. 👀 They help you understand what the client needs. They build trust. 🤝 When you ask about goals, budget, timing, and expectations — you’re not guessing. You’re getting clarity. 📌 And that clarity builds confidence on both sides. Many creatives avoid asking because they fear looking unprepared. But good questions signal professionalism and care. 🎯 Curiosity is credibility. Talent matters. Skill matters. But everything works better when you understand the person you’re helping. 🌿 — 🎥 Source: "Emmy Winning Designer SHARES 3 SKILLS To Go From An AVERAGE To GREAT Designer (Part 1of3)" by The Futur ⁨@thefuturishere ⁩ — #ChrisDo #TheFutur #Design #Creativity #Branding #Freelance #Business #Marketing #Sales #Clients #Designer #CreativeProcess #Strategy #Entrepreneur #Leadership #Mindset #Inspiration #Motivation #ArtDirection #Creatives #CreativeCareer #Communication #DesignThinking #Value #Growth

so i was making this mistake for almost 5 years as a graphic design freelancer.. i would always look at the big name design agencies like pentagram, landor, wolff olins, ogilvy, etc. and i would try to reproduce their status in my own way but i realized that doing this was only hurting me they have huge reputations, gigantic budgets and a different caliber of clients… as a small business, i needed to connect more with my audience and customer i needed to showcase more of the heart of my brand rather than relying on my portfolio ultimately people are going to hire the other people they like and by introducing more of my brands personality and the faces behind it, clients felt more comfortable. having videos where i showcase my thoughts also helped they got to know me on a more personal level rather than a finished, polished portfolio. so if you’re trying to attract more, close more, or find better qualified clients… i want you to skip the technical level funnels and marketing techniques and go back to basics of not being afraid of being yourself because there are a ton of designers out there but there’s only one YOU! #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #graphicdesigntips #branding #branddesign #branddesigntips #freelancedesigner #freelancedesign #alchemydesign #thefutur #logodesigner

FUTURA: The Typeface of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. It’s all you need, what other font do u need. Only real Futura heads would know about Futura Display and Black. True Futura connoisseurs. Paul Renner would be proud. This entire reel is a joke :) Futura Condensed would be number 1 if I was serious. . . . . . . #graphicdesign #typography #fonts #futura #futurafont #thefutur #adobecreate
