The very first ### Colour Ratios [0:09] thing that feels like cheating in the game of graphic design is something to do with color. Let's say you're designing a sports logo or a poster. And whatever it is, you pull up a Nike campaign or some other design or media that inspires you. When it comes to creating a color scheme from the inspiration, most designers might grab the red, the black, and the white, and they think, "Well, that's a trick. " Even software like Adobe Color has this feature built in, right? But here's the thing. One of the reasons things work so well in this kind of example is because the red barely shows up on that design. It's doing maybe 5% of the work color-wise. The rest is pretty much neutral. So instead of sampling the colors exactly, screenshot the image and ask a simple question, what ratios of colors are being used on this design? And you can even drop the image into AI and ask for yourself. But then once you actually have those color ratios down, you can take your own colors for a completely different palette and apply the same ratio. And then you can go ahead and apply the color psychology that's really needed on every single design. For example, in a luxury brand, most of the design stays muted and neutral to signal restraint and confidence, while a tiny amount of gold or warm accent is actually used sparingly. And this is so it feels intentional and also, of course, valuable. It's the same colors, but if that accent shows up too often, the brand instantly will feel cheap instead of premium. Quite a simple change with a big impact. ### Typography Cheat Code [1:45] And moving on, I know a lot of designers spend a lot of time and energy on choosing typography or maybe at worst pulling out their hair out of their heads in frustration. Instead, try this easy little cheat. Take for example a landing page headline, the subheading, the body text, and a CTA. Many designers will immediately think, "Okay, I need a headline font and then a body font separately. " Which is fine, of course. A lot of the time I do that all day long, but a quick workaround that solves a lot of the headache and saves time is to use a super family like in or Helvetica or something similar and then craft an entire page or design with that. So the headline is obviously bold and wide. The sub head could be regular, the body might just be slightly lighter and the CTA may be condensed or itallic. It's the same type face everywhere on that design, but then you step back and suddenly it just feels well decent, well finished, awesome. And this is how you avoid topography looking like it's trying too hard or simply bad if you're in a rush or just stuck. ### Shape Repetition Tip [2:52] The next one is pretty subtle, but once you start using it and understanding it, it does feel like cheating. So instead of adding more visual difference on a design, you do the opposite. You pick one shape or one style logic and then repeat that thing everywhere. So it might be the same corner radius. angle, the same curved language. And then on buttons, cards, icons, highlights, even small UI details if they exist. Nothing new will get introduced unless it follows the same rule. And suddenly the design feels cohesive without you really doing more work. It's that whole adage of work smarter not harder. And most designers, they overdesign because they think a variety equals interest. When in reality, consistency is what makes something feel intentional. And this is how designs start to feel like they belong together instead of looking like a collection of good ideas fighting each other oneonone. ### Explore Artlist [3:50] So, I've been playing around with something new, and it makes a lot of sense. This is the Art List AI toolkit. The idea is pretty simple really. It brings AI image, video, and voiceover tools into one organized workspace. And that's so you're not jumping between different tools just to get one idea out of your head. And the reason over 50 million creators are using it is because everything you need to create with AI is actually organized for once. You get access to more leading AI models than ever before inside Art List. And you can choose the right model depending on what you're actually working on. All your generations live in one place, which makes it much easier to refine ideas instead of just starting from scratch every single time. And if you like control, you've got it right here. So things like prompt guidance, scale, negative prompts, more reference images, and multiple outputs all at once. And one of the most interesting parts is Art List original model 1. 0. It's the first image model trained entirely on Artist's own highquality footage. And that means the results are grounded in real professional cinematography. So, it's built for photo realism, production ready outputs, all with proper color science, depth, and dynamic range. And you can even direct a look using real lenses, camera bodies, and film styles. Prompts are interpreted very precisely, so what you actually imagine is much closer to what you actually get. And there are four styles depending on your use case. So, cinematic, professional, indie, and commercial. The AI starter is great if you're just getting started with AI and you want to explore without any pressure. AI Professional gives you more power if you are creating on a regular basis or at scale. And if you want AI tools plus full access to Art List premium stock catalog, Art List Max gives you everything in one place. But coming soon, Art List Studio takes things even further. It's designed as a full AI production experience, giving creators more control at every single stage of video production. It's definitely one thing to keep an eye out for if you're a serious designer, and you can check out Art List via the link in the description box down below. The ### One Of My Favourite Tips [5:42] next tactic is one of my favorites, but I really do love sharing it to the design community. Open the same design twice, literally the same file. One window lives zoomed all the way out, something like 10% maybe. That window is only for hierarchy and overall compositional insights. The other window stays zoomed in, maybe 200%, 300, whatever works for you at that time. And this is where you handle spacing, kerning, alignment, and so on. Now, as you start working on the zoomedin window, you can see how the design looks as a whole zoomed out. Things that might normally slip through the net just kind of jump out at you right away. And once you work like this, going back to one window feels slow and frustrating and like something from the stone age workflow. The next design tactic that ### What It Doesn't Say [6:30] feels like cheating is a big brain move. It can work on anything, but it works especially well for logos and brand identities. Before sketching anything or moving a single pixel around on a screen, write multiple sentences. This brand is not playful or something like aggressive and so on. Now, when you start designing, half of your quote unquote bad ideas will disappear immediately. You don't accidentally add rounded corners to a serious brand. You don't introduce sharp angles into something that's meant to feel friendly. A lot of bad design isn't wrong because it lacks creativity. It's actually wrong because it's just well confused. And this clears up the confusion before it hits the canvas on your screen. Every design choice you make from color scheme creation to font selection and textures and so on can be run through this method. So ask if the decisions do actually correspond to the sentences you choose ### A Mindset Shift [7:34] or not. For the next tactic that feels like cheating, you need to actually have this mindset in your head. How graphic designers look at designs is very different on how the average person on the street or in a coffee shop looks at a design. Consider someone scrolling on their phone at night half tired, brightness turned down. That's who you're designing for, not someone zooming into your dribble shot and actually analyzing your kerning at the microp pixel level. When you consider that you are designing visual communication for people who do not have a background in design, engagement goes up immediately and you make a better choice in general. This one is painfully simple, yes, which is why most people kind of ignore it, but it can work wonders to your workflow and final design outcomes.
