132: Design on a Budget - Tools to Create Your Business Graphics on the Cheap

Seriously in Business: Brand + Design, Marketing and Business

Expenses in business can be overwhelming, especially when you're just starting out. So, in this episode, I’m excited to share with you some free or affordable ways to build an incredible brand for your business without breaking the bank.

We’ll cover three key aspects: design platforms, design resources, and design education.

It’ll come as no surprise that Canva is one of my top recommendations. This user-friendly website has a free version that allows you to create professional designs for various purposes, including logos, social media posts, flyers, and more. You can even utilise it’s templates, stock images and many fonts for free.

Canva also offers a paid option with additional features, that the free version is a great starting point, and she shares workarounds for some of the paid features, ensuring you can make the most of your design efforts without the need for immediate investment.

LEARNING to design is also wildly important. You can use as many free tools as you like, but if you don’t use design principles than everything will fall in a heap - this is why I recommend strategically learning design in a way that makes sense for business owners through my course, DIY Design My Biz.
