*💥💥Essential tips for Graphic design, whether you're a beginner or improving your skills:*
🔰 FOUNDATION TIPS
1. Understand Design Principles
Learn about alignment, contrast, hierarchy, balance, space, and repetition. These form the backbone of every good design.
2. Master Typography
Limit your fonts (2–3 max).
Use clear, legible fonts and apply proper font pairing (e.g., serif + sans-serif).
Emphasize with size, bold, or color — not all at once.
3. Use Consistent Color Schemes
Stick to a color palette (use tools like Coolors.co).
Maintain contrast (e.g., dark text on light background).
🎯 PRACTICAL TIPS
4. Keep It Simple & Clear
Don’t overload the design.
Aim for clarity — every element must serve a purpose.
5. Use High-Quality Images
Avoid pixelated or stretched images.
Compress images without losing quality (TinyPNG, JPEGmini).
6. Follow Grid & Alignment
Use a grid system (especially in tools like Canva, Photoshop, or Figma).
Keep things aligned — it makes your design more professional.
7. Pay Attention to Spacing
Use white space effectively.
Give text, icons, and photos breathing room.
🧠 CREATIVE TIPS
8. Steal Like an Artist (Inspire, Don’t Copy)
Study great designs from Behance, Dribbble, or Pinterest.
Remix ideas in your own way.
9. Test with Real People
Ask others for feedback — what you see may not be what they see.
10. Design for the Target Audience
Use colors, fonts, and images that connect with them.
