10 Graphic Design Tips


1. Don’t Get Moved Away With Fonts • Font keeps a person from becoming to worry about tons of combinations. • If you are using fonts, then use one for the header and another for the body.


2. USE ICONS TO SUPPORT YOUR MESSAGE • Images are like black pepper. • They can be sprayed on top of whatever design you are cooking up, and the icons will add extra spice to your plan, ensuring that it “tastes” great.


3. Rinse and Repeat • If you are working with multiple objects across ad campaign, website, or another project – it may be most convenient for you to rinse and repeat. • Then copy your design and then swap out the elements you need to be changed.


4. Take Advantage of Contrasts • Using contrasts helps to add “attitude” to design, as well as make certain elements stand out. • There are plenty of ways to create contrasts too. • A person can use contrasting colors, fonts, or even contrast amounts of space between items in your design.


5. Use One Or Two Line To Create A Sense of Order • Lines help to keep items in an image and generate the sense that there is an overall order. • Use lines in your image by placing them around blocks of text – thereby securing the version. • A person can also put lines as “separators” between different elements in the image.


6. Plan your design • Rather than having a plan as the first step, the average non-designer only starts to think severely about their plans for a design. • Later they are well into the planning process. • The planning stage doesn’t need much time.


7. Add Text Over Images By Changing Brightness Levels • When design requires putting version over pictures, adjust the brightness level of the background picture. • This way the background image will balance the colour of the text, causing the text to be clear and the design to look still clean and bright.


8. Carefully Structure Your Body Copy • Whenever you have a body of paragraphs, each line should have no more than around 30-40 characters. • That covers spaces too, so choose correctly. • If you exceed this estimated length, you run the risk of sentences fitting hard for readers to get into.


9. Think About Who You Are Designing For • Never forget that “who” that you are creating designing for. • This ensures you that your design something that the expected audience for your design to see and something they will react favourably to.


10. Keep It Simple • If you overload it with too many special effects like shadows and tone gradients, you will quickly move toward a bloated and aesthetically reduced image.


Conclusion • As you can notice, graphic design doesn’t have to be difficult. • Just follow these ten tips, and you will be well on your way to producing great images.
