Ask HN: strategies to design?
One of the things I'm bad at is design, so I tend to just keep it really simple most of the time. Sometimes I look at the templates that are out there, and some of them look great, but I don't know, it doesn't feel totally right to use them.
What do you use when you have a new project that you want some design elements, some nice look for, if you're not a good designer? What strategies do you use? I don't particularly want to spend a lot of time on it. One strategy I've used is to just reuse the basic shell of a previous project.
Is there no other way to get it right than to spend a lot of time on it?
Any designers that can do good work?
- eof 16y agoHire a good designer, that's the main thing. If you don't actually need good design, but just want something to not look god awful, the basic idea is to use colors that complement each other. I like to use http://colorschemedesigner.com/ http://colorschemedesigner.com/
- petervandijck 16y agoThat's an awesome link, thanks. Still a little baffled about what to do with these colors, but that tool is nice.
