Designer Cheat Sheet

We all strive to be better in some way! Sometimes, knowing where to start is the hardest part. If you’re stuck trying to figure out not only what to design, but also how to grow your skills as a designer, look no further! We’ve put together some helpful information gathered from successful artists to help set you on the right path towards personal growth as a designer.

* A note on transparency: Ensure that every element in your design is either fully transparent or fully opaque—avoid partial transparency. If you’d like to create an outer glow effect, use halftones to simulate the fade from opaque to transparent. For more details, see our dedicated blog post.

Remember, every designer is different, and trying new things is the best way to find a design style and routine that works for you. We can’t wait to see what kind of awesome art you create, and encourage you to upload it Redbubble, too!
