Graphic design is one of the interesting and intriguing skills I have come across out there. It's just really alarming that so called graphic artists make it a worrisome thing to do by their complicated ways of designing and visualing concepts for their clients.
Mind you, it's no doubt that the major purpose of a design of any form is meant to address a real life problem which varies from calling attention of a certain audience to a product or visualisation of a concept that best communicates the right information to a given set of people or making the design in question a user-friendly one which is mostly the purpose of most designs. If these purposes are not met, something is wrong out there.
However, as a designer of any form, it's much expected of you to consider some facts that can aid your design communication. To mention few, right colour mixture, interaction in design, typography and arrangement are much essential in your designs. Others count but the aforementioned count better.
Choosing colours and rightly mixing them can be a very daunting task for a designer as experience pays much better in this context. Nevertheless, there are countless numbers of sites online where colour pallets are helping for this course and exploring them can be so helping and encouraging for the sake of the project at hand. There are colour pallettes and hues rightly arranged on your design tools or placed in the same category, this simply implies they go rightly well, thus the arrangement. Let's assume we have hues of blue such as Cyan (close to sky blue) and Deep blue, both placed in a colour pallette, consideration of them can be a right match in a design and making it a simple and catchy design for intended audience. If you've never considered this, have it considered and see the wonder. You can explore this site for right colour pallette picks — www.coolor.co
The second in discussion is that aspect of typography which is solely about the use of right fonts. Fonts can he so funny that it makes a design depict what it is meant for and what is not meant for, this all depends on using the right font. Every font serves its purpose. In my search for knowledge about cool fonts dafont.com has been one of the right source I could propose for anyone. They have fonts serving different purposes.
In the same vein, proper arrangement of different elements in a design can help achieve the right interaction in a design. Arrangement can be alignment of element to the left, right or center. This might be trivialized but a design well aligned or arranged is more likely to achieve unity and purpose of the design. Figma as an example is very excellent in suggesting the three forms of alignment and utilizing this effect can be more interesting and in turn be a blessing to your designs.
However, having discussed these, kindly create time explore them for practice purpose and check out what comes out of it. I will rightly write more on this topic later. Do have a nice design!
