The 5 Fundamental Graphic Design Principles You Should Know

November 23, 2022

If you’re planning on entering the graphic design field, or even if you want to create better designs for your projects, then you need to know the basics. These five graphic design principles are essential for any designer, no matter their level of experience.

1.) Communication

Graphic design is all about communication. That’s why the first principle is to always keep your audience in mind. Who are you designing for? What are you trying to communicate? Answering these questions will help you make better choices about your design, from the colors you use to the overall layout.

2.) Hierarchy

The second principle is to create a hierarchy in your design. This means using different font sizes, colors, and elements to make certain parts of your design stand out. Creating a hierarchy will help you guide your audience’s eye to the most important information.

3.) Contrast

The third principle is to use contrast. This can be contrast in color, size, or even typefaces. Contrast will help your design elements stand out and be more readable.

4.) Alignment

The fourth principle is to align your elements. This creates a cleaner, more organized design. Everything in your design should have a purposeful placement.

5.) Repetition

The fifth and final principle is to use repetition. This doesn’t mean that you should use the same element repeatedly, but it does mean that you should use similar elements throughout your design. Repetition will create a sense of unity in your design. Now that you know the five basic principles of graphic design, you can start creating better, more purposeful designs. Keep these principles in mind as you work, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a great designer.
