9 Creative YouTube channels you should subscribe!
Roberto Blake
I have been watching Roberto Blakes videos for a number of years now, and for someone just starting out in graphic design his videos were extremely helpful in that they were very easy to follow and I loved the way Roberto cuts the shit and gets to the point.
The Futur
I haven't watched this channel in a while but when I first found them I was amazed- these guys have been in the game a long time and know their shit. I am currently at Murdoch University and these guys were definitely giving me more knowledge value than my degree unit!

Chris Hau
A recent subscription, but already one of my favourites! Chris Hau is a natural film maker so his videos are crisp and professionally edited. Hau covers all things film making, photography and advice in the industry.

Peter Mckinnon
For me this guy has the best photography advice channel on Youtube. I like how he covers many topics that other YouTubers don't cover.

Charlie Marie
My favourite female YouTuber! I love Charlie's personality and this makes her videos fun to watch. Her advice comes across as honest and her tutorials really make you feel like you can do it too.

Will Patterson
I follow Will for more of his logo advice than his typeface tips but the simplicity and quality of the videos make them really easy to follow.

Eric Kim
Eric Kim is, for me, the number one guy to learn Street photography from. He inspired me to do street photography and taught me so much about the art. I love his philosophy and advice too.

Teela Cunningham
Teela is awesome and not just because she has the last name as me. Teela's channel looks into Photoshop, Illustrator, hand-lettering and digital painting tutorials as well as other informative creative advice.

Dansky
Dansky seems like the nicest guy you will ever meet. His videos are simple, high quality, easy to follow and professionally made. I wish this guy was my graphic design teacher!
1. Use Layers & Leading Lines
You want the viewer to LOOK at your photographs. When you create interest in the image people want to look deeper. Layers and leading lines are key in creating this interest.
2. Fishing
One of the best techniques I used when capturing street photographs was 'fishing'. Fishing is the idea of finding an interesting location, standing there, and then capturing the people who walk past.
3. Try different angles
Occasionally I'd be taking photos but either the people wouldn't be interesting enough or the composition would be too bland. When I switched up the angles of my photographs it made them more creative.
4. Expect the unexpected
Sometimes opportunities will greet you unexpectedly and you'll have to almost solely act on instinct. In this instance these soldiers walked around the corner- I ran over toward them, crouched in position and took the shot.
5. Use depth
The distance between the foreground and the background can play an important part in your images.
6. Use Colour
Photography is a visual medium which means colour plays a large part in the product of an image. Using complimentary colours can add interest to the image. If you need advice on which colours work well together, consult the colour wheel.
7. Look for patterns
The repitition of a pattern, colour and shapes create further interest in the image.
8. Get up close
When you get close you can see the subjects eyes and expression much clearer. Conveying emotion is an important skill in the creation of an image.
