DO YOU DIY?

Top 15 Easy-to-Use DIY Design Tools For Non-Designers in 2023

New business? No budget for a Graphic Designer or Web Designer? I get it! I have been in the DESIGN biz for over 40 years, pre-Windows-Macs and floppy discs. What a great time to learn from the ground up. I love this stuff and have fun every day.



I have been known to help new businesses pro bono to get them started with a professional look. Always starting with their logo. If you want to DIY here are the top online tools for NON-DESIGNERS the link is below! I have even checked some of them out. I would much rather hang out in the Land of Adobe, and I am very comfortable there.

 15 DIY Options for Non-Designers

 

 IN THE KNOW!

Lorem Ipsum

Do you know what Lorem Ipsum is? Maybe you should!

I love it when clients tell me I put some foreign language on their website. Well, I did! But for design purposes. And it has been around for 5 CENTURIES.

It has quite an interesting and, at least for me fun history.

SO NOW YOU KNOW!

There is a method to my madness!

 Not Everyone is a Graphic Designer!

 

 I had a great day yesterday. I got to speak to some REAL Graphic Artists who are local.  Jerred at Shipping Depot, after I explained who I was said, "You speak my language." And I said that is my line as a great conversation ensued.  I then had to pleasure to meet Adam at PrintBoy on Merritt Island and "Talk Shop". All you REAL Graphic Artists are very much appreciated. I do not care who does the design as long as it is good! And these guys are GOOD! I have often thought of writing a book Diary of a MAD GRAPHIC ARTIST, but it may have a limited audience.

This article from Midwest Marketing pretty much sums it all up! I have always told clients there is a method to my madness.

What separates Designers from the “I’ve got Photoshop”?

• Designers make decisions based on the elements of design rather than throwing something together because it looks nice or cool.
• Designers don’t just throw something on their screen and hope it looks professional and sends the right message. There is a thought process; color choice, placement and knowing what works best for that client’s message and intended medium.
• Designers are innovative, they are creative and can create mind blowing ideas that the average person cannot.
• Designers go beyond. This is their career, they’re college educated. Your project is just as important to them as it is to you.

Design on, every one!
