Graphic Design Tips

All About Visuals

Keeping your designs simple is key, don’t over complicate by cramming in too many things at a time, having the basics down is essential. Typography is one of the most important elements in any design. Ensure that your font styles are easily readable, do not have too much contrast or too little these can ruin the idea you have in mind when it comes to design. When it comes to colour, make sure use a strong colour palette that is not boring, visually appealing and easy on the eye. A great tip in this area is to offset your dominant colour to add variety to your work while still keeping it simple.

 

By copying and repeating your existing designs, in other terms recreate a design that you love will help you learn faster in what to improve and decide what words or not. A good design consists of a good balance of design and type. When you make use of texturizing your designs, this can create an element of professionalism to your pieces. Remember to be careful with this as if done incorrectly it may detract the focus of what your message is.

 

One of the key rules of thumb is to know whom your audience is, learn how to improve as well as narrow your designs and schemes to suit your particular audiences. Depending on the design you are trying to achieve, not every rule can apply. Graphic design is a trial and error process, the more your practice it, the more you will distinguish what works and what doesn’t in the world of design.
