Top 5 tips for graphic design

There’s a few tips that are worth keeping in mind when creating your own graphic designs. The tips in this post will have you creating great looking graphics in no time at all. Let’s dive straight in!

Design tip #1: Use contrast to help your designs stand out


Using contrast in your design will help it stand out. Make sure you use contrasting colors, particularly when choosing your background color and the color of any fonts or graphics you use in your design. A good rule of thumb is if you have a light colored background then you should use a dark font (and vice versa).

Design tip #2: Choose your font palette


Perhaps you already have corporate fonts that you use at work, or maybe you’re creating a personal design and need to choose your own. Either way, you’ll need to pick a font for your title or headings, your subtitle and your body text. Pick a font that stands out for your heading, but choose simpler subtitle and body fonts that are easy to read.

Design tip #3: Pick a color scheme



Just like you’ve now chosen a font palette, you’ll also want to pick a color scheme. The Canva colors are bright pastels, and these are used consistently across all our branding. You can do the same thing with your brand or design. Start with 2-3 main colors.

Design tip #4: No naked images



Using images in your design adds interest and helps your design to stand out. A good tip with images is to use a grid or frame where possible. This is a simple trick which will give your design a professional edge.

Design tip #5: Keep it simple


Lastly, it can be easy to get carried away with so many great images, graphics and fonts to choose from. A cluttered design is overwhelming. Make sure you have a reason to use every design element, and keep the number of fonts, colors, shapes and frames to a minimum.
