- Contrast:This is very important in graphics,a saying goes unlike attracts so also in graphics designs;when u place things that are not alike together they always stand out e.g a black background will always accommodate bright colored text it will always look good,cursive font matches coloured fonts and so on.contrast always makes you work beautiful.
- Alignment:No matter how creative you try to get your works must be align not necessarily straight but well ordered,This always gives a professional touch to you designs.
- Proximity:This is simply putting things that are related together either text or images.This makes your work easier to read.A beautiful design is useless without passing the mesaage accurately to people.
- Color choice:This could be a little bit difficult expecially for beginners because you just want to use any colour for any kind of design.Colours actually has a language,you cant just pick any kind of colour,ask yourself why is it that red is alway used for love and the grass is always green,Colour speaks.Red signifies danger,Energy,love.Blue signifies health,green nature,life.and so on you could search more about colours.
- Color combo:After chocing the colour you want to use you need to know what color matches the one you picked,there are different kind of color combo-Complementary colors,analogous colors ,monochromatic colors,e.tc(will talk more on colors in next post).
