5 simple graphic design principles to evelate your print - #3

Don’t forget the bleeds

A bleed is a well-known concept in print design that many graphic designers are not familiar with. What does it mean?

The bleed is a term used to describe the cutting of edges of a paper document. Since printers essentially grab each sheet of paper by the edges to feed it through the printer, no printer is capable of printing all the way to the outer edge of the material.

In practice, it means any piece of text, image, logo, or other visual that spreads through the entire template will end up slightly cut off once the document is printed. Almost every printer out there is making minor moves in the process and thus creating ugly white lines on a document.

This is exactly why you need to understand the concept of bleed margins and prepare digital products for flawless printing. The easiest way to prevent possible problems is to leave a certain margin for the bleed.

To put it simply, you can leave some space around the edges of the document just in case the printer grabs it while cutting. The usual bleed size is 3mm for all edges of the file.

5 simple graphic design principles to evelate your print - #2

Blank space is your friend

When it comes to visual design principles, space is so important. You might be tempted to fill all your free space to make text and graphics more visible – but crowding your design might do just the opposite.

Don’t be afraid of negative space. It’s an incredibly useful visual design principle to make your prints impactful and memorable. Empty space has the power to give key elements more breathing room. Think about your design components: could some copy be removed? Do you really need pictures to convey your message? Could the size be reduced slightly? Simplify your composition and play with sizes to bring focus to the most important parts of your design. Less is more!

5 simple graphic design principles

A powerful design can spark incredible opportunities for your brand. As a small business, creating memorable marketing materials is key to raising brand awareness and reaching new customers. But when you’re juggling the many responsibilities of managing a small company, learning the basics of graphic design might be one of the things you’ve kept pushing back on your to-do list.

Pair fonts wisely

Effective font pairing is one of the most important principles of graphic design. Marrying fonts that complete each other without competing is a great way to establish a clear hierarchy in graphic design.

Font pairing is key! Mix Serif and Sans Serif fonts and establish a hierarchy so text is easy to digest – a separate font for headings and body copy helps a lot. Make sure the fonts complement each other – do they share similar qualities? Are they both geometric? Different weights can also help to add texture without choosing an additional font.”

#4 Be impressive and stand out.

Four ways to leave a lasting impression with customers are:

• Deliver the largest mailer to their mailboxes.
• Post that high quality video to your landing page.
• Display the biggest banner wherever you do business.
• Hand out the highest valued promotional product.

According to Small Biz Genius, oversized envelopes have the highest direct mail response rate at 5%,
compared with 4.25% for postcards and 3.5% for letter-sized envelopes.
