It is not uncommon to find yourself in a situation of weariness concerning your daily life. The exact days that follow one another, the same people we meet, the same environment we are in contact with daily, and the same website or images we share on social networks. Want to give a little pep to these moments? It’s very simple, change your digital decoration! But here is the second problem: it is not easy to find inspiration. Fortunately, pre-existing visual content can give you ideas.
Find the right color combination
The decoration of your apartment, the daily clothing, the graphic design of a website, or the banner of a social network, all these elements have in common to share a search for coherence, both in terms of shapes used and color combinations. Indeed, it is not possible to do anything with all these elements!
Some colors go better with others. We consider that there are three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. To complete them ideally, you must add the sum of the other two to one of these colors. For example, the ideal color that goes with blue is a mixture of yellow and red, ie orange. Conversely, yellow and orange is often a very aggressive combination, while green and blue is far too cold. This leaves four colors in particular. White and black are universal colors that go with everything and can be combined. Gray and brown should not be used together and should be used sparingly because they are challenging to marry.
For inspiration, it is best to try many color and shape combinations. Moreover, colors have different meanings depending on the message you want to send: red refers to dynamism, and strength, while blue shows more appeasement, black is rather chic, etc. The funny thing is that these principles are valid in graphic design, interior design, or the clothes you wear every day!
Find the correct elements to modify by relying on the pros
It is possible to change many things on social networks or on a website than you can imagine. The profile picture, the banner, the background color, etc. You don’t know what to change because you don’t have inspiration or simply because you don’t know all the options? Don’t panic, just rely on existing Vista Create templates!
Do you want to have a new free youtube cover? Vista Create offers various elements to modify on all existing media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Youtube, etc. These templates are created by graphic design professionals who will offer you carefully crafted elements. Many hours of work were necessary to test the elements’ different colors, shapes, and positioning to fit perfectly.
It is essential to know that being a graphic designer cannot be improvised: it is necessary to know what pleases and attracts the eye. Of course, you can spend hours learning about basic graphic principles (dimensions, colors, layouts, etc.), but this is time-consuming and restrictive for most people. By relying on existing visual content, you will find inspiration more quickly and use effective content because it’s built by experts who know what they’re doing!
Get inspired and create your own style easily
While relying on graphic design pros is a great idea, using free templates as a base, we can only encourage you to modify them to your liking so that they reflect your personality! Fortunately, our editing software allows you to modify the elements very quickly, even if you don’t have any particular skills in graphic design.
With a simple click and drag, you can move the different elements. Insert new images in a few clicks, delete what you don’t like, change colors among an infinite number of possible combinations and find inspiration by trying anything you can think of. Because that’s what this article is all about: how to find inspiration.
In fact, there’s no better way to find inspiration than to try, make mistakes, and try again. You can also look at what’s being done elsewhere, just like couples do when they’re looking for their new home decor by browsing through home decor magazines. Use a professional base that follows essential codes to adopt, and then add your own touch easily so that your spirit comes out of this work.
