Attempting to start a design challenge and a YouTube channel at the same time over Christmas is not a good idea Hello, my name is Virginia and I'm a graphic designer and this channel is all about creativity and the design process If you are new here, welcome, please consider subscribing and give this video a like if you are enjoying the content I'm uploading On this video I'm gonna talk about sketching ideas and the method I use on my graphic design projects First of all if you have seen my previous videos You will know that I recently started a design challenge which is creating 10 design projects in 20 weeks Starting last week to be honest I have a struggle keeping it up First of all the design challenges already very ambitious for me But also attempting to film every step of the process and I start sharing everything I do on YouTube and social media It has been a bit chaotic for me So I'm giving myself a break. Yes on the first project The main reason is that in two weeks I have a deadline to submit a project I'm working on at university So I have decided to share the process of that project instead and I'll get back to the challenge in mid-January once the university Modulistone so this is a self initiated project the brief I have created asks for a fun and bold way to help women fighting for their rights Originally I decided to create a brand that sells t-shirts with empowering messages for women And it would be called women empowering t-shirts or wet or wet after some brainstorming and research I decided to change it so I'm gonna be doing it in spanish instead and I don't have a Final name for the brand yet, but that's something I'm working on in the recent months We have seen a lot of women's marches around the world So I want to focus this project on creating these empowering t-shirts with messages that I see around social media and also get a bit playful with those The way in which I do the sketching part of the design project is first of all after some brainstorm I think about the essence of the idea that I want to communicate in this case I will have a look at some t-shirt designs and some lettering styles that I want to be using Then I think about the visualization and the idea So in this case I will be thinking about the style that I want to be focusing on The quotes the hierarchy scale and things that go around the visual part Rather than the messaging which is the first point after that I start with working rafs So basically I try all the different ideas that I have I take pen and paper and I just sketch everything that comes to mind So finally I start narrowing these ideas down. I Consider the different layers or variables that the idea has and try to simplify it as much as possible So I have a really clear idea of what is necessary on the design and what can be removed at this point I'm just prototyping so this process can be repeated several times and it always motivates new concepts I hope you liked this video and if you have any questions regarding my design process Please leave them down below and I'll be happy to help. See you on the next one. Bye
