Learn Graphic Design: Play with basic shapes

Basic shapes may seem, well...basic, but by playing around with them you can greatly enhance your work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If a layout needs an extra visual punch to command attention, try placing a shape or two behind the content. Try a different color, a different orientation, or anything else your mind comes up with. Allow yourself to play around until you stumble upon a visual that grabs attention.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To begin with, try adding a shape with a nice color behind your title. Try it in two configurations: where the title fits inside the shape, and another where the words break out. (Once you find a shape that works, try repeating it throughout the rest of your work).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a simple approach, but the effect can outweigh the effort. A few small touches can result in a much stronger and polished layout.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to your next design taking shape!
