your content is wholesome , it helped me a lot , thanks
"Any ideas what his favorite songs are?" I'd guess Macho Man, We Built This City, Wrecking Ball or anything by Men At Work.
Thanks!
Pretty good
why glyphs not working or how to make to useful
Interesting…
very cool. thanks
Thank you
Wtf did I just watch hhahaha but it's funny
What an awesome demonstration of the SCAMPER thinking process! I need to come up with an idea for a class and this helped so much. TY
Thank you, creative story telling
I come they disappear when I created them ...
Hi Is there a PowerPoint for this ?
You’re a genius ❤
Bumping a super old vid. Think you can put something together for MXR Plays? They've been in a rough spot lately and seem to be UA-cam's favourite punching bag.
this is one of the best educational videos I've seen so far
Wow thank you so much for this tip Michael! Dropping gems ✨️✨️✨️
I’m subscribing because it’s nuts!!!🤣😂😂I love everything you did in this video! It’s craaaaaazzzzyyyyy!!! (I’m sounding like crazy Bob from plants vs zombies now. 😂😭)
Can you send the template document? The url in the description did not work
Loved this , the explanation, the energy ., everything 👏👏👏👏👏👏
how did you set up the blue guide though?
Thank you !
thank you for this video!!!
Yo can make shape thicker by add a stroke on it and increasing the stroke to yo liking then go to stroke path and pathfinder to merge the shape. easy
U R AWESOME😊❤🎉Thank you so much , had it mastered once and needed a refresher now I’m back on track. College was about 16 years ago. 😅
Great video - I'm looking ahead to 10k subscribers, and I think this would be a great project for me to try! Thanks for the inspiration - your Play Button turned out awesome!
lil bizzy 💀
Thanks for this!
I❤bbc
I love nuts
Can you make one using my logo
Link ymis not working
This dude doesn't only look like Vsauce. He also shares the same name
I just reached 1.1k !
Thanks Sir , i really like your video work and information 😊 👍🏻
muy bueno! me ayudó bastante. Saludos!
Woow masterpiece ❤️🙏👍
New Tip - Maybe something changed from three years ago but the second option would not work for me. It kept offsetting the entire image. I experimented and for whatever reason, after moving the fill layer to below the contents, when you create the effect it s linked to the main image. You have to move the effect layer on top of the new fill layer. When I say on top, I mean you have to drop it on the fill layer. If you drag it below or anywhere above it does not work. This may have been automatic back then but not now!! Great tip!!
YOOOOOOOOO. This was it. I was having all sorts of trouble with shapes being offset instead of the whole group. Thanks for posting this!
*Keep up the amazingly fabulous work!*
Thanks a lot!!!
I am a design student and I wanted to try a new method to come up with some ideas for my project. Ik think you gave pretty good examples how to use it and I think its really helpfull for me.
I spent hours trying to figure out how to do this yesterday. 2 minutes after watching your video, I did it. Then another 10 tweaking sizes to perfection. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Very quickly got the outline I desired~ also fun hat!
will you give me a 2k play button
vsauce michael frum apec
Great tips. Gone are the days when one can explore and discover solutions intuitively. As the software gets more complex, the built-in guides get pretty cryptic as if not written by Earthlings. Your guidance saved the day for me. Thank you.
P.S. My scatter brush I created appears in the file that I was working on, but is gone when I start a new file. How do I make it stick permanently in the brush palette? Thanks.
I’m gonna Make a 1 subscriber Play button 😂😂
Me too😂😂😂
🗿
NICE! I JUST REACH 1K subs a few months ago!
This was so useful and easy! Thank you!!
