  • When choosing stock photos, it’s best to stick to images that are related to your content.

  • Not all designs are viewed up close and for a long time. Make sure that at first glance your audience has a clear idea on what the design is about.

  • Choose images where the subject is easily identified. Uber close-ups, too many things going on and creative cropping are all very artistic, but make sure your subject is still understood.


2 Get in the Mood by Choosing Similar Styles

  • Designing is all about conveying ideas to your viewer. An elegant photo compliments sophisticated typefaces and classy elements.

  • Filters can change how approachable your design is. Choose one that suits the mood you’re aiming for. Cool tones (filters that use a lot of blues) more often feel more professional where as warmer tones (filters wiith red and yellow hues) are friendlier.

  • It’s important to know who you’re designing for. Each audience has different tastes so take that into account. The way you would design for a kids party is a different approach to designing for a corporate event.
