 What's up everyone hopefully you guys can hear me and maybe not see me try adjusting This background music Tell people in the chat to refresh in About 45 ish. Oh, I'm getting an added on my end so doop. Doop. Doop. Doop. It should be time so um welcome to the pre-show I guess I Decided because of the demand to do a little pre-show thingy Here So welcome guys to the pre-show A lot of people have been asking, you know what this is. This is going to be a gfx live stream What does that mean you may ask well? I am the graphic designer and the editor for impulse and As you guys know every single episode we tell people to leave tips to help the freedom family grow now One of the biggest tips that I can personally give Is in regards to branding which to me because I'm a graphic designer is extremely paramount to your success on YouTube Having good branding can make or break a channel Or I mean rather branding can make or break a channel. Good branding is Fundamental to being successful on YouTube before going any further though I'm considering the fact that once this live stream is done and processed It will go up as an actual video So if you're listening to this right now, and you're like cut to the chase I don't want to listen to this pre-show you can click on the annotation on the screen You see a little box that says not watching this live click here to skip to the show Obviously if you're watching this live, there's no annotation there But if you're watching this after the fact once this is all said and done you can click on that and that will take you to The actual beginning of the show So so yeah talking about branding. It's extremely important to have good branding because I mean You're running a YouTube channel is like running a business and so everything needs to be a one from a to z and I mean you only have one chance at making a first impression and If people go on your channel and they see like right off the bat that your banner is not, you know Super professional that you know your icon. Is it amazing that your logo is amazing that there's no real direction to your channel They might not give you a chance or I don't know It's just it's really important that your first impression be really strong And you can also use branding to kind of communicate what your channel is about what direction Your channel is going so it's It's really really really important So you guys can start asking me questions about you know, what I do about impulse in the chat I'll be looking at the chat and What we're gonna be doing today is I'm going to be picking some people From the from the chat.

So it's like around new Nish EST And so he's you know, it's it's complicated So he might show up. He might not he showed up yesterday during the impulse live stream He was commenting. It was really funny. We were doing the giveaway And I guess for those who weren't here In our past impulse live streams the way that we do giveaways is we'll either ask people to Tweet at us on our Twitter, which is impulse this or Write a comment on YouTube which we rotate. So it's one giveaway. We'll do on YouTube one giveaway We'll do on on the Twitter and what it's on YouTube. We ask people to type hashtag who is George and George came in while we were doing the giveaway. So and he participated which is really funny You know, so he was typing, you know, who is George? Who is George? and It was pretty funny. So That's always that's always nice to see it was really cool that he hung out with us yesterday Actually important note, we're gonna be doing another impulse team live stream tomorrow at 8 30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time I know that a lot of people in the UK and around the world We're kind of disappointed and are kind of disappointed that we do these live streams a little late a little bit later in the day the main reason why is because some of the impulse team work like part-time full-time jobs aside from impulse and freedom and so Typically needs to be later on in the day so that they you know They've come home from work that they've rested a bit that they've had supper yada yada yada And and so that's just the way it kind of has to be in order to get everyone yesterday We had a blast those who are there It we had a really great time That live stream actually has a really awesome if you count right now I think we're heading towards 3,000 views, which is really awesome. We had a blast Tiffany was with us for the first time which is cool, and she's actually the reason why we're doing another Another live stream tomorrow She was like hey, I'd like to do this again. So we're like, okay. We want to do this Wednesday, and yeah, so Yeah Deuce is asking Isn't my name Akramat. I thought I go by various names My YouTube username. I formally go by Akramat A-C-H-R-O-M-A-T But the reason why I Tell people to call me potato is just because that's that's typically what people refer me to as Because a lot of people know me from my days on MGM. Well, I'm still part of MGM I still work for MGM. We're actually working on some pretty cool projects Which will announce probably in the next day or two. I don't know Depends how quickly we can get things done behind the scenes Gaming geek says how are you and everyone else? I'm doing fine. I'm doing awesome I'm really happy to be doing this because as I was saying at the top of the stream At the beginning of the pre-show Branding is extremely important and I think it's like the one missing component like the one lesson that no one's really kind of covered on Freedom. I mean, it's really important to collaborate. It's really important to have High-quality video and audio that is awesome marketing is extremely important though as well and I mean that just that doesn't just involve networking and going out on forums and in YouTube communities and kind of like Advertising your stuff. It also involves just like your logos Your you know channel art all that's all that jazz so Yeah Beans Yeah, I got so many applications on my computer that I'm just afraid that like in the middle of the live stream I just feel like a notification stuff. A lot of people are saying my name is Jeff Well, we have a lot of Jeffries just crazy Gaming geek asks, are you really called potato? Yeah, the the story for potato Well, I mean that's not my real name, but the reason why I go by potato Is because the computer I used to have when I started at freedom was a potato That's essentially where the name comes from Where I would do graphics, but I it's like if I want to render something in 3d It would take hours and hours and hours and hours because my computer wasn't that amazing Now I have a killer PC. It's beast I've switched over to the PC master race But the name is kind of stuck. So What is up Eden West gaming? He wanted to shout out what is up, dude? FastBulletGaming asks what inspired you to do gfx. Um, it's probably just kind of I think my father is my biggest inspiration He unfortunately passed away in 2004, but when I was a kid I would just basically watch him work and he basically did exactly what I'm doing to this day right now Yeah today He did visual effects for TV When he when he passed away at the time that he passed away. He was doing Kind of visual effects and graphics for a TV show Like a one of those cop mystery Who done it TV shows? and He did he did branding and graphic design for years and years and years He went to school and arts and so just as a kid. I would watch him Work and just kind of look over his shoulder and just be mesmerized by all these amazing projects You know how like, you know, I don't know you grew up you watch TV You like video games and then you see how it's done and You just I don't know. I just developed this passion. So I've been doing some form of graphic design Ever since I was probably like 10 years old and I wasn't good at it when I started and I'm still my biggest critic Like I can still improve my work a lot, but I've come a long way and Now I'm at a point in my life when you know where I I get paid to do what I love to do. So Yeah Mayhem asks will you play with youtubers in the chat if ever we do a gaming live stream on here? Yeah, definitely The renegade gamer says yo potato, could you give me a shout out? It'd be much appreciated. What is up with the renegade gamer? Sorry if that sounded weird What's great about live streaming is that because you're talking so quickly and so often you just need to keep going and going and going And being interesting sometimes, you know, you just forget how to English. So Anyways, it is noon EST right now. We're gonna be switching on over to the main show Hopefully I can do this Let me know if the music if you guys can hear the background music I put it relatively low But if you guys can hear the background music, let me know if I need to turn that up a bit I'll make the adjustments Okay, that says it says technical difficulties, but there are no technical difficulties Whoa infinity Coolio, okay, so As you just saw this is actually an icon an avatar that I did for someone on MGM So I looked at their channel saw what I could do to improve it and then just kind of designed it live on the stream And this is actually the the channel art that I did for them So I mean when you design channel art you need to It needs to be a certain size because the channel art isn't just for the web It's also for like tablets and cell phones and TV. I guess if people want to watch YouTube on their TV and so this purple stuff you basically got to ignore But it's like whatever is in the purple lines. That's what you see on youtube And so I designed this live. So if you guys want something like this, I can Choose a lucky person From the chat Before we get started. I'm just going to go over some examples of branding How about I'm just going to go over here and Disactivate some of this stuff Okay, so This is an example. This is actually one of the the channel of one of the winners from yesterday's Livestream and it was just like we chose someone Randomly and I went to go see his channel and it was just like super duper impressed This is what people need to work towards To create a youtube channel that is going to blow up and be very effective So as you can see right off the bat the color scheme Is very like obviously there's you can see that he's put some thought into the coloring Into his logo into his name It's just really well thought out. So all across the board. You can see his banner is icon purple That's his main color, which is really nice. It's primary color That's that it's great to have a color palette already figured out because typically you want to I you want people to associate you with your color scheme with your logos Um, like if I just think of you know, some youtubers off the top of my head Let's say pootie pie. Okay. I put this page up just as a kind of example of how simple his branding is But look at his avatar. His avatar is a bro fist And that's because everyone associates the bro fist with pootie pie. So I mean just think of symbols colors I mean you see a bro fist you think pootie pie automatically Um with markiplier. I mean his branding isn't as amazing But the thing is is that another thing that people need to understand Is once you become big on youtube your branding doesn't become as important because what sells the content Isn't the branding. It's the personality So people come to see markiplier or not because of his icon Channel banner they come for him which is something you need to work towards in order to become successful But at the very beginning when you're just starting out branding is like paramount But um, I mean even here you can get some examples the purple or the pink mustache That is Identifiable like as soon as you think of a pink mustache you think markiplier right away Um, oh also another thing about markiplier's what's also great is you can tell in the tone of The of his banner what kind of content he does, you know like how he is you can see it's very flashy colors um That you know, it's it's very comedic and tone and so you can understand that markiplier is a very funny guy Who I don't know. It's like, you know, he's into gaming because of the tf2 um medic here and the sonic Dude and also with the with the blood coming out of the eyes. That's a reference to five night five nights at freddy's which is Probably one of his most popular series So it's like through your branding you want to communicate who you are What the tone of your channel is what kind of content you produce? um So, yeah, uh game grumps another amazing example You could see by the cartoonish style That they're very cartoony like and that kind of you know, you can tell that if you've ever watched an episode of game grumps They're very cartoony, you know ego rafters an animator and so That kind of comes across through his content, but also through his branding Um, and also you can see the icon is very simple. It's just the game grumps logo and even the game grumps logo is just very basic It's like an oval and game grumps. Bam. That's it. Peer and simple. You want to keep Your icon as simple as possible why because this is going to be shrunken down And you want to make it so that at any size you can kind of identify what it is Again Polaris another great example. You can see their icon. It's just you know simple logo And here you could see All their main partners. It's just like really simple Pardon me. A lot of people tend to over complicate Their uh, their branding you want to keep it simple Okay, um, so let's see Let's see the chat now people are saying hi hi hi sonic creepypasta Potato can you look at my channel banners? I'll uh, I'll be doing some reviews in just a second And I love all of you guys by the way everyone who are everyone who's commenting. I love all of y'all you guys are all amazing all amazing So, um the the basic rule when you're doing thumbnails Well, I mean the basic rule there are multiple ways you can tackle thumbnails a lot of people They'll want text in their thumbnails or there's a lot of people who don't put any text whatsoever But um, there's one principle that everyone should keep in mind And that's the rule of thirds now. Um, if you've never heard of this before in photography As this is basically an essential principle. Well, not only in photography, but in graphic design And that um, let's see if I just kind of hide this text here I don't know if you guys can see these blue lines Maybe there's not much contrast so you might not be able to tell them tell where they are but you kind of see that um The this workspace is divided roughly into nine Squares so you have you want to cut your space into thirds vertically and cut it horizontally into thirds and at the intersection Uh intersections of these um lines That's what where you want to have your subjects. Um, it's just I I don't know why I don't know What concept proves this or explains this But it's just more pleasing to the eye when the focus of your image is in one of those locations So that's why when we Do an impulse whenever I design an impulse logo or logo thumbnail Let's see if I can go through All of my busy files um, let's say Here actually let's look at This which I just recently created Okay, this one's actually a lot busier than I typically like My thumbnails to be but um as you can see the main subject which is Link Is kind of like on one of those thirds. He's a little shifted over to the side But that's because I wanted master chief to be visible um, but um But yeah, so you want to keep your subject on one of the thirds Ideally I would have put him more around here, but again I wanted master chief to be visible So you kind of need to play around with it. These rules are kind of loose Um, but when you do have text you want to keep it on the left hand side Why is that because we read from left to right? It's not an issue if you have your text on the right hand side Think of what's the first thing you want people to see do you want people to First notice the text Or the graphics for impulse We want people to see the text first to know what the subject of our videos Are so we keep the text on the left As you can see we have a bar that just kind of shows the subject of today's episode So, you know, we'll keep it to games or reviews or you know, real talk depending on what the content of the episode is um I had this I got this tip from Uh From some other youtubers successful youtubers that apparently slanting your text at a slight angle Makes it more dynamic and interesting And also yellow is a really nice contrast color that makes your text pop Contrast is extremely important. If you ever if ever you put text You want to make sure that it really stands out. So because I mean you need to imagine That people when they sit on youtube, it's going to be tiny, but you still want to be legible You you still want the text to be legible. You still want people to understand What's in the thumbnail? So even at this size You can roughly read what it says. So most anticipated video games of 2015 You can see our impulse logo in small, but more importantly, you can see the subject of the thumbnail Uh, what are other things you need to take into consideration when you're designing your thumbnails? I mean, there's a reason why I put link and master chief on there Because they're They sell those those are really popular franchises people love zelda people love link people love master chief So you slap those on there and it automatically boosts your marketing potential Because it draws people's attention So I put that on it there Um, I had to put link because majora's mask is one of my favorite games of all time coming out soon So uh, yeah, just to kind of review as I was saying you want to put your text here I mean, obviously, you don't want it to be this size unless It's not obscuring your subject then you can make your text as large as you want. Um So normally I'd make it around this size. I try to take up as much vertical space as possible Just kind of slant it slightly And then, you know Make this like yellow But the thing is that if I make it, you know, yeah yellow and white it's still legible But um to kind of maximize the legibility you can just again like zoom in zoom out To see how things look at different distances Um, what I might do is just kind of I don't know again put a box behind it with a really dark color to Just so that there's that contrast there Hopefully you guys understand Now for banners You want you want to be you know simple very simple Um, you also need to take into consideration that some people like to magnify their web pages. So usually I'll view YouTube at 150 percent like zoom So I won't see it at 100 and for that reason Whenever you zoom it kind of crops the edges of your banner So if your logo is all the way over here Well, you have two problems one The your avatar is going to be in the top left hand corner And so it's going to be obscuring whatever is behind it But as well your logo might get cropped out. So whenever you download a banner template Online you'll have kind of like a safety region that you have to respect And so that's why the logo is here um The I guess client the partner who I designed this for Um, he gave me three suggestions Of games that he plays on his channel And so I basically took images from uh from those games Put them in put a bit of drop shadow And then just put his social media um Really really really simple But you know, I took some time making this and it's really worth it. It pays off my personal channel I haven't uploaded a video to my personal channel in Half a year And I still get 4,000 views per day And I think a large part of that is Smart content creation creating content that is always going to be popular The same time though, I think that branding is also really important and I'm speaking specifically now To those who say that they're graphic designers If you say you're a graphic designer And your banner looks poopy Well, then you're not gonna get many commissions, you know, so you need to definitely make sure that you're that you step up your game Okay, well, um, I've blabbed on for quite a bit now um Oh, I guess, uh My internet is being really funky right now So, uh, what i'm gonna do is Put up these bars right here And uh, hopefully you guys can still hear me. Yeah, for some reason chrome Is all funky No, anthony smith just text that texted me Okay Yeah, i'm gonna be doing a giveaway in just a second guys just want to um Basically reload, uh, my web browser Because um Because it was uh, it kind of my web browser froze for some reason Uh, live streaming is very taxing on one cpu. So that was uh, that was fun I guess adam isn't it isn't the chat because he uh, he just messaged me on skype about what I was talking about Um, okay, so we're gonna be doing a giveaway in just a second guys. Um so As you can see had I had to have You know g-man here um Trank what are you doing?

We won't be doing any twitter giveaways today because i'm running this solo Um usually when we're multiple people then it's kind of convenient because you gotta have one person monitoring the chat And then one person monitoring um twitter Uh, but uh, but I can't do both today. So i'm gonna be sticking To youtube and then you know it makes it available to everyone Cool, uh, okay, so someone is asking me or actually multiple people have been asking me um, what If I Sorry, i'm laughing because uh because cuz who's part of the impulse team, uh, he just he just uh Messaged He just wrote I really can't english right now. He wrote who is george. So it's uh, it's It's funny when part of the impulse staff tries winning, but you can't because your stuff Okay, so um I'm gonna be picking some people now for some gfx. So if you'd like some graphics um message Write something uh in the chat basically say I would like some graphics, please also list what you need And uh, I guess in the meanwhile i'm gonna be reviewing disectros channel So Let me switch back To this Oh infinity And beyond Okay, cool. So this is a disectros channel if you guys want to check him out. Um, go to his page. Let's see his his youtube link is dis C t r a 5 75 You can check out his whitey page. Um, this is actually a great example of proper branding I like this a lot for two reasons Um, because it's very consistent You could see that in his icon He's got a soldier. So right off the bat you think fps Uh, I believe this is battlefield because of the orange and black Color scheme on the uh on the character, but also you could see on his banner, you know He's got another soldier with you know shrapnel and explosions So it communicates pretty clearly that this guy is an fps Guy and then obviously the uh the video on his trailer section page thingy is fps Um, so it's it's it's really clear what the direction of his channel is Only comment about branding is your social media is kind of placed in an awkward position I would maybe find a way to Slip it into this bottom bar if you could find a way to do that that doesn't look weird I'd say go with that because once again, I was talking about cropping before If someone kind of zooms in on the page Then it starts to get cut off. It's not that bad though. Okay Okay, maybe just moving on over a bit to the right, but besides that this is really awesome I really dig this a lot, you know partner with freedom subscribe today. It's really clear You don't need any work done Um, maybe let's check out your thumbnails. I would say okay now for your thumbnails You might need to get some work done but I mean this already is really great um Now you have a little logo corner thingy going on that uh That is nice One of the things I've learned Is that um That only really becomes an asset that only really helps you When people know what that means So people who are new to your channel don't know what the ds means So for that reason, I would actually recommend maybe taking it out removing it um I know that that's Pardon me. That's really contrary to what I would have said a few months ago But I've learned a lot since doing thumbnails and graphics And one of the things that's really important is as you're growing your channel You want every single thumbnail to stand out on its own um Once you start building a following That's when you can kind of transition into template templated thumbnails, but as you're growing you want every single video to stand out on its own Um, make sure that when you use text that there's enough contrast So like in this one right here using dark blue and it's like it's not super legible You also have like a bit of a gradient on the corner here, which is a little weird um Also, you don't need to type out like part three you can just have like a three in the corner. We'll kind of like what you've Done here. Maybe add a bit more space like a bit more of a margin um Besides that though not bad overall Pretty good pretty good Okay, um so This is gaming says I would like an avatar. Yeah, but I have to create a logo for you Let's see Okay, so the renegade gamer wants me to look at his channel. So let's check out his channel Pretty simple intro by the way, which is pretty cool um Member of the gamers of royalty owner of the rinse remix repeat um I I don't know what These are under a rinse remix repeat. What is this? Is this? um Some sort of a music remixing community. Maybe just a bit more info on this That would be pretty cool Overall though, I mean you're following the basic principles where your logo is in the center It you know There's a nice contrast. So it's very legible Um, I mean not bad. You could kind of touch this up a bit more But overall it's Pretty straightforward clean, which is you know, what you want. I also like your icon as well Just like your minecraft character Just nice sweet pure and simple They go to your video thumbnails now um I like things like this like, you know best best of 2014 just kind of nice simple Uh, not bad. I mean I kind of I'm kind of I'm going to go over some of the same points over and over again You want to make sure that your text is legible like and hear your merry christmas from renegade It's kind of hard to read the words because the background is so dark And your text is also rather dark and also I would say like the background of this image I would have changed it um myself because you have all these subjects in the background But because they're obscured by the text you don't really know what's going on um typically when you you know when you think merry christmas you associate it with uh christmas reaves and um And lights and christmas trees may be going with that would have been a bit better. Um But overall not bad For your minecraft thumbnail It's not bad The problem I would say is that a lot of people when it comes to minecraft thumbnails They all kind of look the same In a weird way like this this design here. I've seen that so often It's not really a complaint. It's just something that i'm noting So maybe coming up with something that stands out a bit more, but I mean overall again, this is this is not bad. This is Uh, this is pretty nice. You want to work on consistency though Every thumbnail needs to stand out, but it should all thumbnails should kind of fit in with each other it's kind of like if um I don't know with with mgn what I do with the thumbnails. It's kind of like They all kind of stand out on their own But you can see that there's somewhat of a pattern so they work on their own But they work together at the same time. I don't know if you guys Uh understand what i'm trying to say Uh terry plays games for the win. That's how your name Okay Um your icon right off the bat. I would change this there multiple things that are wrong with this One you have a line that kind of bisects like two games. So already you have too much going on You have two games and because As I said before this is going to get shrunken down when people see it They're not really going to understand what's in the background Um, I mean like look the skeleton already like this this icon is pretty large on the page The skeleton is already really tiny. You shrink that down. You're not even going to see what it is. Um And this red line kind of covers or bisects this alien isolation image And um as well you got the text on top of it, which isn't really that legible. So it kind of masks This image it doesn't it doesn't really work too well What I would do Is probably just keep this one color tone. Maybe just like a really simple gradient Um, and then maybe just have If you absolutely want terry Writing it in a color that contrasts your background um Or it seems here. I don't know if on these characters. Is this your symbol like this tetris Like block if that's your symbol then maybe you can just have your logo and just keep it as minimalistic as possible As for the banner, um, it's not bad. It communicates that obviously you like minecraft Which is really important like if you primarily do minecraft you want your branding to reflect that Um, I also like the the 3d of the text. That's cool. I wish it was it were a bit higher up Also, you have a glow going on in the center here and it kind of obscures the letter a I don't know It kind of feels a little bit out of place If you wanted an optical flare I'd put it maybe You know a light optical flare on one of the corners But you know, it's it's not a huge deal Uh, put your social media somewhere. That's would be really important um Overall not bad. I would consider maybe Going into the gfx section of the forums and seeing if you can get a graphic designer to improve this a bit Because I mean it can be improved Again, the text is just a little too low But it's not it's not horrible. I've seen I've seen Way worse Um as for thumbnails It's a little busy and some of the text isn't legible Because again contrast but also because of the sizing of the text So like let's say here terry plays counter strike I can make out the counter strike, but just barely and it also takes up, you know, just a small section what I would do Is once again, you want to apply the rule of thirds So you could have terry plays like on the left hand side counter strike have the logo You know, there's a there's a version of this logo, which is just cs go And people understand what cs go is so I would put that logo And then you have part part four. I would put, you know, the number four in the corner top right hand corner And then just have, you know Soldier, I don't know just something Here taking up the right third Uh, you got terry plays the red text is barely legible Over the zombies. Uh, this is a pretty cool background image But I mean again, you can barely read the text over it Call of duty world at war again, you could barely tell the logo And the nazi zombies again like it you need to really make sure that your text Is, you know, very much contrasted from your background. So, um the best thing to do is as you're designing a thumbnail Just zoom it out If you can zoom it out like crazy And you can still read it and it's still legible and you can still understand what it is Then you've pretty much got a good thumbnail But here it's it starts, you know, it's it's a little straining on the eyes Um Here you got tf2 epic kills Here you just got two Gameplay images side by side. So I don't really understand what's going on So what I do with the thumbnail for this is write, you know tf2 epic kills and then maybe have um Think of like who's the most epic character? Or you know, you could think of the uh The heavy, you know, so I put the heavy And maybe I put like some blood in the background because you know, it's it's death killing So just like epic kills maybe in like white and yellow and have some blood in the background the heavy Um, actually, you know what let me let me try like designing this like how I would do it Because I've been blabbering on Now for the last a little while Um, so let's remove the extras Let's go on to uh Google Let's search uh team fortress too heavy Okay, let's look in their images now And what I like to do is I'll put the size too Large because you want to do this in the highest resolution possible And ideally you want something Like this As long as I can get a relatively high quality the problem is that the gun is really low Uh, you can always kind of go with the funny image as well that also helps It's actually a pretty funny image. I like this So then usually I'll just go to view image Uh render by see like sometimes Taking images from the internet Is a thing where you gotta want to make sure you don't want to steal people's work or that if you borrow people's work That you at least modify it so that it's just not like ripping them off completely So I'll do some modifications to this. This is a png with the transparency So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna save it Uh on my desktop You know, so just save it And photoshop will open the file Copy this over here And then with my selection tool just remove This logo Okay And then I'll typically scale this up Man the heavy is a big guy And then uh, so I'll put my text on top of that And I believe the What's Just tf2 epic kills If you can come up with Not something that's clickbaity, but something that's maybe comedic that describes what happens in your video That's an incentive for people to click Well, then you can put that as text, but for the sake of this I'll just put um Epic Epic kills Okay, uh now I want a background behind the heavy So I'm gonna search uh, just Team fortress 2, I guess maybe Level Copy this Scale it up Okay, now you want uh, typically a drop shadow behind your subject just to make them stand out Um, so just apply a drop shadow Also, another thing that you can do that can help out a lot Is just kind of go into your image adjustments play around the curves So that you increase the brightness of your subject just so that they pop out some more Um, sometimes if he doesn't really stand out from the background that much you can just kind of Play around with your background. So let's say I just kind of Turn this off and this off for a second I'll Just create a basic little gradient Okay And then you can just go through cycle through your blending modes With this enabled just kind of see What looks the best but then again, I don't want to blue I should have it Should I have it in red? No, I'll try Let's see what this looks like See very much like drawing Graphic design is very much like half of it is Building half of it is erasing stuff Or you know undoing stuff So you just got to really fiddle around until you find something that works for you Let's say Kills and also you want to put some drop shadow. I really like drop shadow a lot I prefer drop shadow over You know adding a stroke But sometimes, you know adding a stroke Does help So I mean if you need to do that You can put a stroke on it Whatever you write, um, you know, whenever you use photoshop and you add text You always want to make sure that the spacing between letters is on optical and not on metric It makes things look a billion times better Like let's say, I don't know I scale this up and then I don't know I make this in yellow I'm just kind of doing this like off the cuff. So it's like if I were doing this Seriously, I'd put more time and effort into it. So like I really don't like A stroke effect. So let's see if I can maybe Intensify The shadow just So it stands out a bit more maybe play around with my background a bit more Something you really need to play around with And then you want some blood. So blood splatter Or blood blood spatter Just you know add this to your background Or you know what even just this as an image might be pretty interesting um Like even if you just didn't want text You could just have this And this would kind of work, you know Another thing you can also do if you want, um, your subject to stand out a bit more Is having a basic vignette effect So what I usually do to create a simple vignette is I'll take my circular selection tool Let's go from one corner to the other Hopefully you guys can see what I'm doing here. Sorry. I know that it was kind of zoomed out a bit Um, and then Oops, sorry. I'll do a control shift I to invert the selection And then I'll go into my filter blur Whoops, that's not what I wanted to do Gaussian blur just kind of Play around with it, you know, so even like something like that it's It definitely communicates more Like, you know tf2 kill You see it. You see the blood splatter, you know, there's killing involved You got the heavy. So, you know, it's you know tf2 related Um, and then you know, it's it's a little comedic. So if your if your videos comedic Well, then that also, you know communicates that through the thumbnail. So So, uh, let's see if we're gonna do another Let's check out Sogent gas caused gaming Uh, well one already from the get go you can see that your text, um isn't super legible What's that image from? I mean it looks interesting but Because it's very pixelated Is it from an indie video game or is it just an image that you found on the internet that's so blown up That it looks Very pixelated. I don't know I mean the pixelation You want something in a higher resolution that looks that looks crisp unless, you know, your your channel is retro gaming then pixelation is Great because it it basically communicates what your channel is about so I would say Get someone on the gfx forum to create you a logo If if you don't have a logo and you're interested in a logo Um, what I tell people to do is to uh, submit a request, but how you submit a request is Is it it's involved, but you need to be specific Um, so let's say you're a gaming channel and you specialize in FPS shooters Well, there's a specific tone that goes with that Unless, you know, you might be a comedy channel You might just be like a serious hardcore You know fps gamer Um, so you want to communicate this to the gfx artist Uh as much as possible. So if you're a comedy channel that does, you know battlefield exclusively Well, then you you know, you need to communicate. I do battlefield I I do funny videos and so there needs to be you know, I don't know bright colors Maybe have a rainbow in a unicorn Next to the soldier or have them have like googly eyes um Or you know just Come up with the idea in your head And communicate that to the graphic designer The the worst thing you could ever say to a graphic designer is do what you want Or I'll leave it up to you That's a horrible thing you could say to a graphic designer Because if they spend hours designing something that you don't like Well, then they're wasting their time often a lot of the graphic designers on freedom will be doing their work for free And so it's it is kind of a waste of their time Um, but if you're doing it professionally for someone who's charging you then they're gonna go, okay, well I'm working for $30 an hour and you just wasted three of my hours so you'll you'll need to pay more You know, so you should Pardon, you should already know what you want and then you'd be as detailed as possible to communicate that Now if you're looking for graphic designers Make sure that they have a portfolio readily available As I keep saying branding is super important and so you want to choose a graphic designer Who knows their stuff don't choose someone who's all right But you know Yeah, you know just meh you want to go with as best as you can find For your budget Because again, it's branding is critical Uh your icon as well. I would change that as soon as you have a logo designed so Think of what your channel is about What the content you produce is about If I go to your videos page Oh, dude, you're your icons, buddy Yeah icons, buddy Uh, it seems like you do mostly minecraft So you want You know your icon to reflect Minecraft so I don't know like a diamond pick Or a pig face or a minecraft chicken Or you know A skeleton head, you know, just all these things are very iconic to minecraft So just have something in there as your logo That really communicates that you're a minecraft channel And then put that as your icon because you have your image But no one you're still growing so you're still a small channel. So like you know This if someone sees this then they There's no reason for them to click. I don't know if you understand what I mean YouTube is extremely difficult to build your channel and just kind of build up that personality, but You want your branding to be meaningful to people That's what's gonna get people to click on your channel, you know I might I may I might be too vague for people Just kind of let me know if you don't understand For your thumbnails like again like Day one day one day do day two Day three day four your text is stretched vertically Which is a big no-no And as well I mean, what what does this mean like day four? I don't understand what this means You have sponsor video What sponsor maybe you should have their logo on here somewhere um With this here minecraft survival island Half of the logo is cut off So you want the logo to be clear But as well, I mean this 2d background isn't bad But it seems kind of bland like there's not much going on So I'd have the survival island logo maybe tilted slightly at like a two degree angle And then maybe have like a minecraft character right here on the right So Yes Okay, cool Um, I'm going to be doing a second giveaway right now because I've been talk. I've been talking. I've been yapping For quite a while now. Oh what wicked infinity boom Okay, so for those who uh, we're not here Uh, when I did the first giveaway essentially how it works is I need everyone who wants to uh participate in the giveaway To write hashtag who is george in the chat I'm going to be choosing one person randomly if you are selected What you need to do to claim your prize is to send me a private message Directly on my channel. My channel is acromat So you can search on youtube just search acromat. I should be the very first person that pops up Um go to my about page send uh or click on send message And then you I need you uh to supply me your email address because I'm going to send you the steam code through there Now the game that we're going to be giving away this time We're going to be giving away vulgar the viking so vulgar the viking is a 2d action platformer It got much critical acclaim. So this is a very popular indie platformer. I believe that it was on total biscuits um It was in total biscuits award show Uh for I don't know if it was either best music or best indie title Or best kickstarter campaign, but it was nominated for one of his awards. So it's a really good game and I mean because of the fact that um total biscuit mentioned it It probably created a bit of buzz around the game. So now is kind of a good time to go over the game So um Pardon me. I'm just gonna give you guys about a minute or two And I'm gonna drink something in the meanwhile because my throat is dry Believe it or not guys talking into a microphone for you know An hour straight is this very straining on the vocal chords soda I drink way too much soda folks When I'm not drinking soda, I'm drinking energy drinks. So it's like my two options are super healthy Speaking about energy drinks though one of our sponsors is a game on snacks Um tomorrow we will be doing another live stream with the impulse team at 8 30 pm eastern standard time And we'll be giving away several tubs of g fuel as well as game on snacks beef jerky So if you guys would like to win some awesome snacks, you can come hang out with us tomorrow at 8 30 p.m eastern standard time and you can ask all of the impulse team questions including tiffani And uh, and even rick kind of made a cameo sort of in yesterday's live stream. So that was really cool Check us out. Um, by the way, you can see while i'm talking about photoshop at the bottom of the screen There's a little kind of ad With a game on snacks and g fuel if you go to their websites, um, and you order something Either merchandise or food products You can enter the coupon code Freedom in all caps and you'll get 10 percent off your order, which is really cool So if you don't win, uh a g fuel prize or a game on snacks prize and you still want to try The beef jerky the awesome energy drink you can order it online and get 10 percent off your order Okay, cool. So the winner of vulgar the viking is Apparently just kind of burp there. Um, the winner is lego ww2 reviews. So I guess it's lego world war two Reviews you have won a copy of vulgar the viking So, um, what you need to do is send me a private message on my channel, which is um, it's listed in the graphic On the screen right now So just send me a p.m with your email address and I will send I will send you um a steam copy of the game For you Man, I need to take some sort of a break whoo Coolio, so now let's get back to The graphic design What I'll actually do is I'll talk about the virtual set design for impulse so I was kind of going away for branding from branding for a second. Um, as you guys know for impulse Uh, here, let me just switch away now. Boop. Oh infinity infinity Okay, so this is blender If you've never used blender before if you've never heard of it blender is a 3d um 3d piece of software P is 3 Let me restart. It's a 3d modeling and animation program. Um, that's completely free. So it's available for everyone at no cost It's open source. It's really awesome. If you want to experiment with 3d learn the basics Um, I highly recommend it. I mean if you want to go on to professional 3d design Maybe look at other software, but for a beginner, it's it's really great. This is I started using blender about two years ago And everything I've learned I've learned in blender So this is um the virtual set for impulse and it doesn't look like much because Um, because you know everything is is textured gray But if I go into the rendered mode, hopefully this won't kill my cpu Um, you could basically kind of see The basics of the layout now whatever's in pink those are just like images So the outside you see in the background that's just an image And the reason why there's some pink reflecting off the screen here is because I usually have the impulse animation Going on here. Um, so I modeled everything in blender. So every individual object here is very much Hand modeled Let's see if I can get an example here Um, some of these are like mirror images or mirror models Of things I've modeled That was poorly explained So like what I'll do Is just kind of model a component. Oh you got some Some things I've missed here. Look at some clutter Um, but I'll model a piece and then if ever it's like duplicated or it needs to be duplicated Then I'll just use a modifier called either a mirror modifier or an array modifier to just kind of um Copy it. So let's say say Add an array modifier then you can see I could just make as many copies as I want And so this makes things super convenient But uh, yeah, so for this, um It's just textured glass And then you have a red background some strips of light Like a metallic surface And then you have these tiny lights which light up the inside and because it's contained within You know A dark room Those tiny lights just kind of stand out The screens how I do those is basically I'll design the screens and I'll make them black and then Pardon me just burped again Um, and then I'll create a new project. I'll just kind of copy this project over Go from cycles render into the default render engine for blender, which is called blender render And then I'll tint whatever I want to be replaced by video footage like so whatever video I want to put on the screens I'll tint the screens white and then I'll render out the screens just in like I'll render out the whole scene And just black and white And then I'll uh in after effects I'll just kind of plop in the video I want to I want to put on the screens and then just do some blending and some you know funny funky jazz Um, but yeah, this is the the 3d set. It's just It's just this Nothing too complicated Took me a lot of time But nothing too complicated Oh, yeah, what i'm working on right now Is actually a TARDIS So for all you dr. Who fans Um I I am primarily known on my personal channel for my dr. Who visual effects work Um, and I've learned a lot in the last two years so I did a dr. Who intro as one of my first projects and it really kind of launched my channel But um, I'm going back now and I'm just kind of redesigning a new TARDIS. So this is a work in progress But I'm kind of using what I've learned to Adapt my model and what I'll do is I'll make this model available online for You know for a few bucks Like I'll I'm at the point now where I've developed my skills enough to kind of Um sell my work online. So I know I think I think this looks pretty cool Um, I might do a tutorial on how to do this On my personal channel. I know a lot of people have been asking for this um, but It's as simple as it may look Like geometrically, it's pretty simple, but still kind of understanding how to do this You know at this level, um, there's a lot of complicated things involved. But anyways Nearing foxes astro cat what crazy Um, okay. So mayhem 99 gamer has been commenting a lot asking for a channel review So I'll check that out right now. Okay. Um, so mayhem right off the bat again your icon Um, it's it's a little I don't want to say it's too busy, but I don't really understand what it is um With icons you want it to be immediately Recognizable or understandable You want to understand what you're looking at instantly because people's eyes I mean you gotta imagine that everyone has adhd that they only want to spend a few seconds on every element that their eyes are constantly moving And so with you it looks like you have I mean it's taking me a few seconds to kind of understand what's going on here Looks like a like a red ring of death And then you have a power button in the middle But then you got like these tentacle like things Coming out of both elements, which I don't understand what I would do is I would just remove those tentacle like objects and probably just keep the red rings And the Power button Actually, you know what let's kind of design this In photoshop, so I believe if I'm not mistaken It's 800 by 800 for an icon Let's see here For this icon Yeah, okay, it's 800 by 800 So you have your power button and your red rings Let's see if I can design this off the cuff I mean it's It might look a little weird in the first few steps because When you learn to design on your own Sometimes you develop unconventional methods for doing things But um, this is my method so Leave me alone, okay So I just created that and then It's kind of divided So let's say Let's center this first Make a selection of the entire workspace Select this layer And then just center the circle And then I'm going to take my rectangular or marquee tool I'm just going to create like a basic I guess plus sign I guess you'll understand what I'm doing in just a second And duplicate this layer and then rotate it 90 degrees Merge whoops it emerged these two layers once again Center this shape And then we're going to select the plus sign and basically cut out that So you have your basic I guess red rings shape It's not as wide as I would like though. So What I'm going to do Hopefully you guys can hear the music in the background. It might be very faint, but I'm listening to it right now and I dig it I'm using a music from impulse. So if you guys um Would like access to the to the tracks that we use on impulse. Um, we got all of those from epidemic sound Because epidemic sound is awesome But epidemic sound it really is a really great resource Boom This actually looks kind of cool. All right. This is like this is completely unidegional But it kind of looks cool. Um So if I just Deselect all of this we want like a dark gradient for the background Hopefully I can kind of center this Okay I'll change the colors for this in just a second. No, I don't want that photoshop What you doing? Okay I'm just gonna put this in a folder so I can manipulate both of these layers together Um, and now we have the power Sign. Oh, yeah, it's true. You only have three Of these so Now you have the power icon. So how that looks another Shape here no pixels were selected. I'll tell you which pixels were selected Let's do this because I want this to be the same width As this Now with the power symbol, there's kind of like a angle How should I do this let's In design, it's really useful to think in terms of geometric shapes so Let's Let's rotate this at a 45 and I'm going to center this Then just kind of move this up Turn the opacity down just to make sure Okay, so let's What I'm gonna do because I'm not a hundred percent sure the selection Just do an invert selection and then create a mask So the the it's not permanent Is that good? Let's let's say that's good And finally for my last shape we've got The center of the power symbol Bitch this goes to the center and then kind of goes up a bit Once again centering things is great and There we go Just down a bit Okay, so now you have your basic geometric shapes now. I just need to color it all Um, maybe I can scale this down just a tad Okay, just kind of simplify my workspace a bit I'm gonna make it all white. So what I like to do sometimes just to Make everything a singular color I'll just go into my brightness and contrast. It's a really lazy way of doing It but it works the same thing. So how about Oh, that's not the one I wanted to change How about we have white on the outside? and Then we have a secondary color for the rings on the inside. So you like Green and red How about Should we make the center green? Let's let's see if we can adapt Your color scheme. So let's go to hue saturation We'll choose a red this Maybe if we kept this part Green, let's see how that would look So you colorize you darken it a bit more Choose your green you up your saturation Uh 142 100 negative 63. Oopsie daisy Why did that not work? Maybe I should have inverted those colors. So kept That white this green I don't know. Let's let's let's play around. We've got lots of time folks Just green Again, as I said before half of this process is, you know trial and error just kind of Figuring out what what looks good. What doesn't look good Yeah, I want to scale this down just a bit more Okay, let's say that's not bad Then maybe have like a bit of an outer glow Size that up Copy this I'm going to separate the green from the white Whoops, that's not what I wanted to do Pace this here, but it's not going to be red. It's gonna be Maybe Brighten this up a bit more Same thing with the red Sorry, I know I'm fairly very silent times I'm just Trying to get something that you know, what's decent already that this is a step up I feel from what you had Maybe there's too much contrast in the background. So let's Hopefully you you kind of dig this I think it's pretty cool Let's see if we can have an inner glow if that would Do anything maybe center it center Why am I doing a An inner glow? Well, it's because like you want this to kind of look like neon like a neon glow and neon lights Um like at their brightest point. They're very I don't know Like hot white If you can understand what that means Um So, I mean, I think I think this is pretty cool. This is pretty close to what we want. Maybe just kind of Shrink this down a bit I'm I'm cool with calling this complete Huh, let me know dude. Um mayhem 99 gamer if you like this, I'll I'll send this to you I just realized Okay um Sorry, sorry about that guys. I don't I have no idea why the technical difficulties thing was up That's crazy That is really weird Um, okay. Sorry about that. Well, I guess um mayhem 99 gamer. This is gonna be kind of like an unveiling for you I don't know. Do you do you like this? I mean, I think that this is a lot You know, this is short short and sweet Short and sweet. This is nice and simple short and sweet nice and simple Um, let me know what you think of this. I mean ideally it's going to be about this size On your youtube page. Um, it's it's more easily identifiable So I mean, let me know what you think I can send you. Um, I can send you this file as a jpeg Um, I could send you the uh, the photoshop template So if you want another graphic designer to go in and adjust it you can do that um, so Call of duty network says it's okay But it's not okay though because I just spent like the last like 15 minutes Designing something and it was the technical difficulty screen. I'm really confused as to why that happened. I was 100% sure that um That I had done things correctly. So anyways Uh, mr. Penguin games. What's up, dude? He says notice me senpai Gfx input, please. I would love to try and get some branding on my channel for better recognition on youtube Okay, so let's check out your channel I've seen your channel before um Not bad. I like the the the minecraft character or just like the way it's it's Framed pretty good. I mean your text is legible um Social media it could be a bit more legible. So maybe have Some sort of a box, but I mean ideally I'd always recommend that your logo Be on top of your social media because I mean your logo is is the most important thing Or at least your name So that's that's the first thing that people should see besides like your character. So I'd have your logo a bit higher up I don't know Maybe like here ish and then maybe have like a a black box underneath that spans the same Length of the logo and then just have your social Media part of me See like having the twitch logo and then writing twitch.tv is a little redundant So I mean if you have your twitch logo, you don't need to write twitch.tv You could just write, you know, mr. Penguin game games hd Again, same thing with twitter. You can just write, you know at mr. Penguin games People will understand what you mean Um as for your logo or your icon, it's all right but I would probably I would remove the mpg and maybe Scale the penguin just a bit up You got a drop shadow going on remove that Um, yeah, I mean this the thing is that the lettering It's not really a great font and it's to the side and like the letters are in weird positions So just I don't know it looks weird because it's off-center, but also As I was mentioning early on before You want people to You don't want to put something in your branding that people won't understand Like mpg holds no value to people if you're just starting your channel because you haven't built your audience yet So they'll see mpg and they'll well. What is that? I don't understand what that is So it's better to just remove it completely Just have like the penguin. That's cool. That's cute people like that They'll click on that Um For your thumbnails, uh, they're not bad again, like it's it's legible Except for maybe this the orange and the yellow isn't as legible But I guess kind of your saving grace is that your backgrounds kind of Explain what your text doesn't or it communicates better like I said with the christmas chaos You have Santa Claus you have a christmas tree you have gifts like that that is nice That's a nice touch that at least like invokes christmas. So that's good um So yes, not bad Uh things like this though, I don't like because I have like quickscope simulator Then you have Two shreks some guns I guess an image of you With a hat and glasses it just seems really random Um and also like your image is squished vertically. So it doesn't look too great um I mean I guess unless you're intentionally going for the look This kind of a look Uh, I wouldn't recommend going with it But see like some some of your thumbnails are great Like the dropper. I really like this. This is smart. You know, you have an image of it looking of looking down at a level That is that is smart Um So, yeah, it's not bad not bad Let's see what your most popular Video is because typically what I like to um Oh now I now I recognize your channel because you won You won the one hurricane sponsorship because I could just remember rick saying, you know, mr. Bigwin games hd So yeah, your most popular videos You can see here that they're really minimalistic. They're like really basic. It's just twitch Twitch.tv donation alert for obs. It's like really really really simple And I think there's kind of a correlation between You know How simple and legible Your thumbnail is how successful it is um, so Yeah So like even here like twitch donation alert tutorial not the nicest thumbnail ever But you have paypal like all over the place. So it communicates, you know, like donations paypal Um minecraft hunger games. You just got minecraft hunger games. Boom super simple. So some of these uh Some of these are great. Some of these aren't fantastic See like the gta 5 weird train glitch You took an in-game screenshot, but you can't really tell What this is So what I would have done I don't know what the train glitch is per se, but let's say it's like, you know, the train flies well, I would actually construct my template or my template my thumbnail So that maybe you have like a flying train Or a train that's clearly derailed And then maybe have someone on the side, you know with like googly eyes going like, oh my god What this is not supposed to happen? I don't know Cool So I don't know um Mayhem 99 gamer. Sorry. I didn't I didn't read What uh, what you wrote if you do want that Piece of gfx that I created So this icon that I created for you.

I'm not checking the chat too often Because I only have one computer monitor, which is something that I need to fix I think everyone who does graphics or any kind of live streaming needs at least two monitors one for the chat One for you know, what they're actually streaming um I am uh Basically having to choose, you know, do I want to look at the chat or do I want to you know work on the content? So hopefully you guys can understand Um, anyways the winner of the one month of a twitch turbo is The winner is Next gen media so the person who's operating the next gen media network page by the way solid branding I'm actually going to showcase this to the people in the chat. Uh, so next gen media You have one One month of twitch turbo So I'm just going to write your name down Next gen media network Nick next gen media wins flawless victory Okay So i'm just going to showcase um guys What his channel looks like Uh, this is really really really nice branding As you can see his icon is super minimalistic. It's a cube in 3d. So it's I mean, it's not the most original logo ever But it's still really nice And clean and simple And so it's also like white on black. So it's you know high contrast It's really good Uh his banner is fantastic Very legible You have a sense behind here. I'm assuming That I don't know what video game this is Uh It's either something like titanfall or halo, but you understand it's a game Um, and as well, I really like this like I don't know the stroke effect here with lights It's really nice clean crisp Um, it's it's just it's really cool. It's really it's really nice simple if you go to his videos I'm assuming that this is a brand new network. So you can see their thumbnails Still though, it's just like really simple How to accept your partnership what is next gen media Gaming network Then your intro, you know with your logo like it's it's just it's really simple. I like it a lot really nice So I don't know who's operating this channel Seriously a plus dude even here visit next gen media dot tv and you got all your social media Dude, you are killer. Look at this trailer. This trailer looks awesome Dude This is epic Oh, man This is why I like to see Really really really great stuff. So congratulations, dude. I'm glad I picked you. I mean it was completely random But it was really nice to uh Select your channel Okay, so we're gonna do another giveaway back to back Uh, no, we're gonna be giving away Uh escape goat 2 which is a 2d platformer puzzle game If you're interested in winning that Just use the same uh message as before so it's Basically hashtag who is george?

Okay, so the entries are Rolling in now I just want to let you guys know that these games were not purchased by freedom. They were not purchased By impulse. They were purchased by me. This is how much I love this community. This is how much I care About the freedom family. I'm investing money out of my own pocket To reward you guys for your awesome dedication I mean the impulse team just overall we really love our fans We really appreciate all of you guys coming out and supporting us And so this is our way. This is my personal way of saying thank you Hopefully you're learning a bit about graphics Um, just kind of on things you can do to I guess improve your branding I'm gonna be making a formal video about all of these topics Short five minute videos on the freedom central channel Um, so I mean don't worry if you don't understand Some of what I've talked about If it seems really vague to you, I'll be making Short and sweet videos that will be coming out Hopefully in the next few weeks. Um, just kind of going in more details so Yes Cool. Okay. And the winner of escape goat 2 is Uh, the winner of escape goat 2 is geographics So, um, again another coincidence. This is another channel, which I think has pretty good Pretty good branding. Um, I'm choosing everyone completely randomly But geographics you have One so uh his youtube channel is youtube.com slash geo nerd factory So you have won a copy of escape goat to claim your prize just sent me a private message on my personal channel Which is akramat. Um, you can search it on the youtube And uh, yeah So just send me a p.m. With your email, um, and I'll send you an email with uh With the steam code Coolio, so, um I've promised a few people Some things some reviews So i'm gonna i'm going to get to that in just a second, but Also, some people have been Messaging me on skype. I've uh turned off, uh notifications Uh, but uh I might actually have a really exciting opportunity for you guys. Someone's just messaged me With potentially, um Okay Okay Someone Is he in the chat right now? He might actually be in the chat Someone has Graciously generously offered to donate a copy Of shadow of mordor Okay um so Uh, so they're trying to they're trying to see if they still have the code If they do have the code Hopefully he's in the chat If he's in the chat his name is keizo k double e z o or z o So keizo If he's in the chat just say hi to folks If he does have a code for shadow of mordor, we will be giving that away Which is freaking sweet Well, we'll have to do it relatively quickly because Um, we only have about half an hour until this live show Is over So I know some people are Desperately Trying to get my attention now at this point. Um, so here i'll switch on over back to the main view infinity Okay, so, um Nebulcy graphics He's been here for hours Before the stream even started just commenting And he's been super awesome. And so yes, I will definitely check out his channel. So, um Nebulcy Overall, I really dig your stuff. Um Your icon I would say maybe have a black background or a dark gray background Instead of a white background or if you actually want the white background Make your logo a bit darker Because you have very bright colors on top of a very bright background and for that reason it doesn't really stand out a lot I think that the logo design itself Is nice and simple. I dig it. You're you're kind of playing around with Lettering and geometric shapes and angles. It's really cool. I dig that Um, it's just it's like bright on bright for your banner. I really like your banner a lot Honestly, I don't know how you did the graphics Text in 3d. I think that looks fantastic Um, you actually need to tell me how you did this because I think this was a really nice look Um, and the background is just really nice and crisp and I like the green It's very inviting. So I I really dig that a lot Now, uh, if we go to your thumbnails, I mean you haven't produced too many videos because I'm assuming that this is still a new channel um I mean for the most part, it's it's pretty good. So I mean just maybe a bit of more contrast on like the text speed art Maybe put it in yellow try try some yellow because your background is very green And your logo is green And I mean when it's scaled up like this It's not bad. It's still legible I can't speak but when it's shrunken down, it's not as much legible. It's not as legible So maybe Either change the background color or just kind of do something to produce more contrast maybe a Intensify a drop shadow if you don't already have one or if you already have one But yeah, the speed art I'd maybe put it in like yellow just so it pops Um And maybe like like the subject of the speed art is kind of low. Maybe if you had put them a bit higher up Don't be afraid to kind of cover up Some of the text I Sandwich him between your logo and the word speed art So maybe just put him a bit higher up, but I mean overall I think your thumbnails are pretty cool You seem to have a grasp of you know basic composition, which is really great There's only this thumbnail which I would redo because I mean it's for a scatter brush Pack, but you don't really see the scatter brush effect Um, you kind of see it in the background very faintly, but you have like a bunch of logos At weird angles. You want to keep it just very simple. So Maybe just like just in text on the side just Free scatter brush pack and then on the right hand side Just maybe you know a few dabs Of the brush just to kind of show the effect But have it you know large enough so that you can actually See the the the the brush because the brush is like is the hero You know, it's the main subject. So you want that to stand out the most, but overall dude I mean, I wouldn't really change much Maybe the the freedom logo I would just kind of Have a bit more spacing. I would shift it over a bit Um Just because it's like really it's like kissing the the corner here a bit too much, but overall dude a1 Okay, so uh delta ftl is requesting Um a banner from me. I think Okay, chris, can I maybe have a channel banner about call of duty glitches? But like sort of, you know girlish, um Please I need to promote my channel and grow Okay, um, so let's see delta. Do you have any Do you have anything? Okay, so right now you have like your your text isn't really legible against your background So I mean you need to work on thumbnails as well um But yeah, we can we can try working on this. Can you um Can you give me more direction like do you you say you say you want it more girly? Do you want I guess I'm assuming like some pinks uh How Let's see Call of duty glitches uh I mean I don't know if there are any images of glitches Because I mean it's really hard to find images of glitches So probably I would just need to create an effect that would kind of look Like the screen is glitched out Um Except maybe if you do this. Okay. Okay. I kind of this kind of inspires me Then again, this would require quite a bit of photo photo manipulation So I want to kill her background How about if I just search Just a level So we're gonna go here. I'm gonna modify This so basically I mean we could probably reuse some of these elements um I mean if I Yeah, let's just kind of use this already like I'm not gonna template it. I'm gonna I'm gonna modify it enough So that it looks unique and it stands out on its own But still though, let's see if I mask this out Okay Maybe let's change This color to like more like uh, okay, so I believe this was This looks for some hearts patterns I don't know you you want girly. I'll give you girly Is this a See sometimes you'll find Images that you like a lot, but they'll have like a watermark on top of them Uh, also another thing that I don't like is when People will claim that their image is like in high Definition, but it clearly isn't it just kind of like a low resolution image that's blown up, um I'm just gonna Turn this off for a second. We're not experience experiencing technical difficulties. I just want to Sometimes there may be an unreliable source To an image and I just want to make sure that if you know something spontaneous that I don't want You know you guys to see to just pop up on screen Why is it so hard to find a decent heart pattern? This is crazy. This should be simple Okay, I might have found a decent pattern. Okay, now there's some yellowing to this for some reason Let's go into the curves blue the thing about the impulse music is that I listen to it so often That it's like it's hard not to Hum some of the songs when I hear them, you know Because I love them so much. Okay. Well, obviously this is not their logo. So I'm gonna I'm not gonna use that logo Man, it's crazy. You guys are commenting so much That like youtube is freaking out on me I like how delta FTL is writing. Hey chris. Could I maybe have a channel banner when I'm making them a channel better? um So delta FTL Do you have any social media? links, um also Tell me more about your channel name because I mean, I don't want to have to create you a logo Without really knowing much about you, but Um, okay, so I need to find some call of duty Characters Uh, maybe But now let's get some zombies because everyone loves zombies This is the highest quality Uh, I'm just gonna do this for a second because someone's messaging me on skype. Okay, cool. Um, so, uh kizzo has given me a code For shadow mordor, uh, we'll be giving that away with the rest of the games at the very end of the stream Which is coming in about 15 or soish minutes Um, so if kizzo is in the chat um, say hi and We're gonna be sure to Not only give away that code, but I want everyone to thank him. So search kizzo on youtube Um, and uh, I mean again if he's here, just say hi be sure to check out his content He's a really awesome dude. And again, like he's like he doesn't have to do this But um, he's he's offering a copy of shadow mordor to the community, which is an amazing game I've played that game like crazy and uh, it's just it's so good It's so good Okay, um, so delta ftl What I want you to do is I want you to send me a p.m. Because obviously I'm not gonna have enough time To complete the banner on stream Um, so I want you to send me a message basically with more info on what you want on the banner specifically Um, and like in terms of social media What what your logo's like if you want me to design you a logo just kind of give me ideas for what you want And I'll take care of that. Um in my spare time See this this is the fun part Which is really isn't that fun. This isn't the highest quality image. So hopefully Uh, it should do it should just be passable because like I mean this banner isn't gonna be zoomed up to this point, but um If you have an image that you really like a lot, you'll often have to go into the pen tool If there's a really complicated background So just try doing a Relatively rough but accurate Learning how to use the pen tool in photoshop is essential Um, it's it's really not that difficult. I mean there's a bit of a learning curve No pun intended because you're creating curves Um What am I kidding pun totally intended But knowing how to use the pen tool is extremely important. Um, and it's also really nice because Um, I used to use just the exclusively the selection tool and it's all right But sometimes you'll get really rough jagged edges. Um as with the pen tool you can kind of Get nicer cleaner edges To your work. So so I'll just try cutting out this guy really quickly So what I'm thinking of doing is because I mean Call of duty zombies is a huge component to it But as the client, um requested She wants it to be girly. So I'm thinking of maybe having like hearts on his eyes or something just like I mean Because the the Concept is so bizarre I just want to kind of run with it and make it as funny as possible So You want to take advantage of the fact that you're pairing two things together That just normally don't go together and as well. I kind of like the fact That you have like a girl fps shooter because let's be honest guys There there isn't a big enough female presence In the gaming scene And so like let's celebrate. Let's put like lots of hot pink and butterflies and hearts I just kind of rub it in people's faces like yeah girls game Girls are just as important as guys I mean guys men seem to be the most vocal in the gaming Scene but we need to change that Great equal opportunities for all Here I am being all political Seriously though like um I mean just kind of going talking about impulse a lot of people when they saw Tiffany and they were just like Oh, okay, just just a cute girl. But no like those who were hanging out with us in the live stream Like she's totally geeky um She plays video games. She's uh, she was talking about like a clash of clans how she plays in a clan with the zesty mic and Brittany bear paws and um, you know, she's talking about her favorite movies and how she's totally into like anime and she does like cosplay um, and so You know, like we didn't just get Tiffany Because she's a good-looking gal, but because she genuinely is very geeky and knows her stuff Um, and so I mean one of the reasons why we chose her is because we want to celebrate women more in the freedom family Um, again, it's just like like there's so many guys You know on freedom And so when I kind of the freedom family is for everyone For all races genders You know, we want everyone to feel welcomed And that was my political Speech of the day Okay, we're coming on 10 minutes until the end of the stream So i'm just gonna hopefully Finish this selection really quickly and then we're gonna give away the rest of the games and codes And such and uh Yeah, let me know in the chat what games have you guys been playing recently Um, I've been playing when I when siv six came out civilization beyond earth I purchased it because that was like the first siv game that I had ever played um, and I hadn't played it for like a month. So I I you know I played it like crazy And then when impulse started, you know, I was too busy to play video games Um, and then I just got back into video gaming. So I started playing far cry 4 And then I bought the walking dead season 2 which is absolutely spectacular Just beat that and now i'm back into siv Um beyond earth which is so addicting I love it so much. It's really difficult like i'm i'm I'm really I don't want to say i'm bad at it, but it's like i'm on normal difficulty and i'm finding it relatively difficult So I guess it compared to the experienced siv player i'm i'm absolutely horrible But uh Still it's such a fun game. I like anything that's turn-based strategy Um, I think really like 2014 has been at least for me the year of the turn-based strategy started playing Heroes of might and magic 3 again that game is just like, uh, it's the best. It's the best. It's so good Okay, almost done I'm really afraid now that i'm gonna turn back to the stream and people are gonna be like We can't see anything because I accidentally clicked a button or something Okay, so I have this rough selection Uh go to paths select that Then go into my refine edge So we have this selected And now you can add or drop shadow or whatever we want to add Anyways, I need to fiddle around with this. Um, definitely a lot more but i'm gonna get to save this as uh Cod cute That's the name of this Coolio, so i'm just gonna go back the comments here Okay, so um, I know that you guys want me to check out your channels, but unfortunately, uh, we're coming to an end Uh of the stream again. I know a lot of people want me to check out their stuff I'll be doing okay if you enjoyed This live stream I'm gonna be doing another one Maybe if you guys want on thursday Let me know in the chat if you guys want another gfx livestream Like this one I want you guys to type in the chat.

I'm going to be teasing this For those who are not there during the impulse stream Yesterday, there are some big changes coming to impulse with the 100k sponsorship We're now going to be moving that over to sunday exclusively. Why are we making that change? Well We're making that change based on the audience retention of all impulse episodes We've noticed That the retention rate tends to drop as soon as we do the first runner-up giveaway So for the first, you know 25 30 of the episode the retention rate is really high And then as soon as tiffany comes to announce the runners-up winners for the 100k sponsorship It dips down dramatically. So we're going to reformat the show So that we only have the main segment and then on sundays We're going to be doing a live broadcast with you guys in the chat Where we're going to be announcing the winners to the 100k sponsorship giving away tons of prizes It's going to give you guys the opportunity to chat with us live on a weekly basis Talk with tiffany talk with britney talk with mike talk with zack talk with myself talk with anthony talk with alex talk with erin talk with everyone Win some prizes. It's going to be an awesome time And but you're thinking but what's going to happen to tiffany because i mean if she's not Introducing the 100k sponsorship every day. What's going on with her? Well, mike has two shows. So what we're doing is Mike Is giving away one of his time slots. He's giving away his wednesday time slot to tiffany so she can produce Her own show That's right. Tiffany's gonna have her own show on impulse on cosplay So if you've ever been interested in costume making In just kind of like building costumes going to conventions Tips on how to walk around the floor, you know with these big bulky costumes She's gonna be covering that in her own show now.
