iPhone 6s Fibonacci Wallet Review

iPhone 6s Fibonacci Wallet Review https://fbit.co/pVx
Recently I bought the iPhone 6s and I’ve been getting some new accessories for it. Dreem asked me o do a review of he Fibonacci Wallet and I really am glad they did, because this thing is pretty slick. As a graphic designer, I like that this case looks more sophisticated than a regular bulky case.

I also like that because I’m a smaller framed guy that this fits comfortably in my pockets and looks fancy when I pull it out. It has magnets in that will let me use a mount for my car and utilize the iPhone that way, which is cool.

It also lets me prop up the iPhone to conveniently watch videos on it, and will hold my money and ID easily along with the phone.

5 Tips for Graphic Designers To Stay Organized

5 Tips for Graphic Designers to Stay Organized
How to get organized as a graphic designer? This is a question you have asked me to do a graphic design video about for a while now. To be honest it is something I myself sometimes struggle with. But I do know what helps me keep my design files organized when I actually bother to be consistent about it.

Being organized is so important and can help your design workflow a lot if you take the time to do some basic housekeeping. Then you will be able to execute on your design work more effectively because your workspace and headspace will be organized and efficient.

iPhone 6s Review [Honest Review]

Apple iPhone 6s Honest Review [New!]
The New iPhone 6s is an amazing camera and I love the new features from the 4K video capability to the new 3D touch. The iPhone 6s is also one of the best camera experiences for photography I’ve ever had in a phone.

In this review I cover everything from batter life to touch ID to what the phone actually feels like day to day and show you samples of the photography and video I shot with it.

The iPhone 6s is one of the best smartphones of 2015 and I’m very happy to share my thoughts on it with you.

That doesn’t mean the iPhone 6s doesn’t have it’s issues though… as I explain in my review.

How to Talk to Non Designers About Design

How Designers Should Talk to Non Designers
Checkout More Graphic Design Videos: http://goo.gl/1yqkNK

Graphic Designers and Web Designers as well as other creatives often struggle with communicating outside of the industry when it comes to non visual communication.

This hurts a lot of designers in their career and is the reason that many people have the wrong idea about designers.

Learning to speak to Non Designers is important. It maybe on the single most import things you learn to do in your Graphic Design career. In fact your career as a designer may very well depend on how you are able to communicate with your supervisors and your clients.

Don’t use industry terms and jargon, use basic concepts that even a child can grasp. Speak plain. Don’t be technical, and don’t try to show them how clever you are. Make sure they understand and know what they need to. They will appreciate it and respect you more.

iPhone 6s 4K Video Sample: Times Square Street Art [4K Video]

iPhone 6s 4K Video Sample: Times Square Street Art
The video camera quality of the iPhone 6s is amazing, especially for 4K video resolution. The camera on the iPhone 6s is probably one of the best executions of a in phone camera I’ve ever seen and it has kept me from pulling out my DSLR throughout most o my trip. The iPhone 6s is great for learning about 4K video and also learning about editing it.
