Here are 5 design mistakes to avoid:
❌ Inconsistent fonts and colors
🔧 Fix: Build a brand guide. Here’s a great Canva tutorial on how to create one—even if you’re starting from scratch.
❌ Low-resolution or stretched images
🔧 Fix: Always use high-res assets. Need free photos? Check Unsplash or Pexels for beautiful royalty-free images.
❌ Too much text or clutter
🔧 Fix: Minimal is best. Even platforms like Apple are known for using whitespace and clean layouts.
❌ DIY logos that look generic
🔧 Fix: Free logo generators often give you something you’ve seen before. Check out this 99Designs blog post on logo design mistakes.
❌ Copy-pasted Canva templates with no branding
