There are 5 levels of graphic design—and most designs stop long before they become genuinely memorable. In this video, I break down how graphic design moves from aesthetics and layout, through visual communication and persuasion, to the point where a brand identity actually stays in someone’s mind. Subscribe for more graphic design tutorials, branding insights and practical ways to become a better designer.
We’ll explore visual hierarchy, poster design, layout, typography, branding and design psychology through five versions of the same creative brief. You’ll learn why a design can look polished yet communicate very little, how to test whether your hierarchy works, and what separates a well-designed poster from a visual identity people remember.
This video is for graphic designers who want to move beyond simply making things look good—and start using design principles with more intention. It also features Luma’s agentic workspace, a tool designed to keep research, planning, assets and creative direction connected throughout a project. Find Luma via the link below.
