۱٫ Build a board

Gather a board of inspirational designs that give you a similar feel to what you want to design. This board can include elements such as fonts, color palettes, photography or illustration styles. And more importantly, the sources of design composition that are similar to your design background. By gathering similar sources and examples of your idea, you will begin to discover connections and similarities, and this is the beginning of sparks for new and creative ideas.
There is no set number or value for reference, but the breadth and variety of sources help to inspire more. If you choose 1 reference for your work, you will probably get unwanted copying.

۲٫ Draw a roadmap

e most important thing before you even touch your computer is to think about the design and what your audience should see and perceive. It is better to plan the design path with a few simple and quick sketches on paper and determine the location of the contents that are to be included in the design with the help of the mentioned mode board.

Remember that even the most influential graphic designers like Lance Wyman first plan their idea on paper. Spending a few minutes drawing a design plan can save you hours of time and design confusion.

The worst way to design is to refer directly to the software before thinking.

۳٫ Simplify writing

One of the most important aspects of a good and ideal design is transparency in expression. So it is important that we do not sacrifice readability for visual beauty. Simplify your text when needed and even use typography as a good start.

Sites like Iran Fonts for Persian fonts or Type Wolf for English fonts help you see how other designers choose fonts and execute them in their project. There are very beautiful and practical Persian fonts in Iran fonts that you support its designers and this industry by buying these photos.
In any case, when choosing your fonts, limit yourself to using a maximum of 2 fonts or fonts. It is best to choose a Font Family or a font that has different weights and styles to make sure that the fonts you use are all in balance with each other.

When you start a new design, try to find the right font style for your project with a little experimentation and experimentation.

۴٫ Do not forget the color

When you want to choose a color palette for your design, thinking about the psychology of colors is just as important as the theory of colors. An easy start to this is to choose 3 primary colors that complement each other, in the form of a color palette that you can achieve more stable colors by changing their darkness and light or color concentration.

Consider each color “volume” and adjust your tones so that they do not all scream in unison! It is also very important to test the error of each color in the design and see the result of using each color in the design. Remember that smaller elements need stronger contrast and contrast in a colored background. Here are some great resources for creating a color palette.

Color is one of the most influential design elements in conveying a particular feeling or message.

۵٫ Don’t be afraid of white space

The empty space between graphic elements and text in the design is called negative space or white space. Negative atmosphere can help your design find a clean and minimal atmosphere. Even if you are not looking for a minimalist design, still do not ignore the importance of negative space. Filling in the blanks may be tempting, but negative space or white space itself is a design point for building a focal point.
Try to create a space around the element that you want the viewer to focus on. For example, if you have an important topic, create a space between it and the rest of the text so that your viewer can read it first.

Empty design space is not just a place to insert content. It is in itself a choice for design so that it can create more contrast.

۶٫ Don’t play it safe

In design, contrast can be achieved by the size and scale, the opacity ratio, the color and the space you use. Always be careful to have contrast in the dimensions of the objects inside the design space. Also do not forget to create contrast in color tonality and opacity and brightness.
For example, when you want to combine two typographic models, resizing the typography can create more contrast in the type of layout of your text.

Without exaggeration, contrast is one of the most influential principles in design and visual arts.

۷٫ Pay attention to hierarchy

When you start designing, ask yourself, What is the most important object in my graphic design? Or much simpler, the first thing one. What should one see in my plan?

Observance of hierarchy is one of the important angles in design. As a designer, it is your job to discover what that is and to bring it about. In this case, you need to prioritize objects based on their importance.

Do not worry at all, fortunately the design prioritization is very closely related to the contrast and you can easily apply the preferences in your design by changing the size, colors, aspect ratio and fonts.

The most important design message should remain dominant no matter what design style or number of other elements you use.

۸٫ Align! Align! Align!

Keeping graphic elements such as photos, text and vectors in one direction makes your design presentable. Most graphic software, including Adobe, has very useful and useful tools for alignment or Alignment, with the help of which you can easily organize your design. Always make sure you have borders around your page, such as a safe border or a cutout, and use them to align your elements.

Alignment gives your design a visual order. Irregular clutter takes your design away from a professional job.

۹٫ Icons go a long way

Symbolism is not a new concept. Humans have lived with symbols for thousands of years, from early signs and paintings on cave walls to our ability today to understand and convey emotions through emojis in a conversation.

Symbols can convey meaning often faster and in less time than real words. They can cross language barriers, they can help draw attention to a particular part of the design, and they can take up much less space while having the same meaning as written instruction. For example, if you want to encourage people to follow a social media account, add recognizable icons to each platform so that the viewer can instantly identify the action you want. If your design is simpler, symbols can be a great element as a design spice. When using symbols, make sure they match the style. See The Noun Project and Flaticon to use the large library of free icon collections.

The symbol is a small graphic element and can be used to represent objects, places, people and emotions.

۱۰٫ Get in line

You can use a line to separate a piece of content from the rest of the design as well as draw attention to it. For example, in web design you can use a line box to highlight the “Call to action” buttons. You can also use vertical and horizontal lines as a “separator” between different elements of the image. In this case, the sense of separation of the elements increases the sense of planning and coordination in the design and helps the design to have more structure.
