6-Minutes of Making Pocket Notebooks | No Talking, ASMR

I get asked for a real-time video so often, here's a pretty much uncut, slow-and-steady look into my studio and making my fabric journals step by step. This is as close as I'll get to making a class anytime soon, so feel free to pause, and ask questions in the comments. I'll answer as best I can. Illustrated by Damian Orellana --------------------- All Dapper Notes pocket notebooks are hand-made from scratch in New Jersey by Enon Avital. Every notebook cover is made from two materials: a good looking fabric on the outside, backed by book cloth inside. These covers are just the nicest, and oh so very showoff-able.

Restaurant signs are ubiquitous across New York City, but who’s behind all the iconic lettering? What does it take to design and install something that’s often a customer’s first impression of a business?

How I Designed a Free Music Font for 5 Million Musicians (MuseScore 3.6)

This video covers how I designed a music notation font for MuseScore 3.6, in collaboration with my friend Simon Smith, a professional engraving expert. Apart from MuseScore's 5 million users, this font is available for free for anyone to download and use. Along the way, I also discuss the inspiration for our font: an application called SCORE, created by Leland Smith.

All 50+ Adobe apps explained in 10 minutes

Adobe makes so many software that it can be quite overwhelming for even a professional to understand what each one is used for. Many people who are new to this have confusing questions regarding similar apps like "what is difference between after effects and premier pro" or "What is the difference between Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom and Bridge". So, I made this video to quickly give you an overview of all adobe products as I couldn’t find a similar guide anywhere else, not even in Adobe’s own website. I hope it helps anyone entering the creative fields to get a sense of different apps.

Every Font is Free

Maybe pirating old fonts isn't the issue people make it out to be. Yes, I'm aware now that it's pronounced "fu-ture-a," for some reason I thought that was just an alternate way to pronounce it. My bad. Please listen to Sculpture Gallery! (The music in the video! For everyone asking!) https://youtu.be/toWoIyUKMPA
