Here’s a simple design tip you can use on your very next project! Not everything in your design needs equal attention. When everything is big, bold, or colorful, nothing really stands out. That’s where visual hierarchy comes in. Try this: 1. Pick one focal point. What’s the FIRST thing you want someone to notice? 2. Make it stand out. Use size, contrast, color, or placement to draw attention. 3. Let everything else support it. Make secondary information smaller or less prominent. 💡 Try this today: Open something you’ve designed recently. Squint your eyes and look at it. What’s the first thing you notice? Is that what you want people to notice? I’m curious: What’s one design principle you find yourself struggling with? Hierarchy, spacing, typography, color, or something else?
