Five Graphic Design Principles You Need to Know

Design principles are guidelines that designers use and apply to their work. They are hugely important in the design world and are the difference between good and bad design. Using these principles will help you to gain a good understanding of what a well-balanced and fully finished design should look like. And it will also help you spot the difference between well-thought-out designs and ones that just look unfinished.

In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main design principles that will help you with your Canva designs:

  • Contrast
  • Balance
  • Hierarchy
  • Alignment
  • Repetition

By the end of this chapter, you will understand what each of these principles is and how to use them together to create amazing designs for your business.

The first one is my favorite – we’re looking at contrast.
