A Record of Going Bald While Designing for the Official Account: Your Aesthetic Sense Might Have Been Gaslighted

 

💥Introduction of the Pain Point: The Tears of Contemporary Editors Are in the Shape of PPTs

Who can understand! When the boss said, "I want a sense of sophistication," I spent the whole night changing the font in the PPT from Song to Microsoft YaHei. But I was scolded for having "a rustic aesthetic"... Even more suffocating is that a colleague sent me a trendy poster from Xiaohongshu and told me to "take it as a reference". When I clicked it open, it was a premium Canva template + full-screen Instagram-style stickers, while all I could do was use MeituXiuxiu to cut out images with one click???

❌Myth 1: Poor aesthetic sense? No! You've Just Been Gaslighted by Your "Clumsy Hands"

Some people always shift the blame, saying, "I'm just born without aesthetic cells!"

The Truth: Aesthetic sense is like a muscle. If you don't exercise it, of course it will atrophy!

👉🏻Do you think it's the same to browse 100 trendy posts on Xiaohongshu and 100 Word art fonts chosen by your boss?

❌Myth 2: The More Templates You Stockpile, the Better You Are at Designing?

There are 800 "sophisticated templates" lying in your favorites folder. But when it comes time to use them, you find that a pink wedding invitation template + black and gold business requirements = a miracle of deathly color combinations 🤮

The Truth: It's about the quality of the templates, not the quantity!

❌Myth 3: Obsessive Compulsion with "Originality"

You insist on starting from a blank page to draw wireframes, and the resulting poster looks like a primary school blackboard newspaper. Wake up! Even Steve Jobs said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

The Truth: Use Canva to change the text, color, and add dynamic special effects to a trendy template. Your boss will still praise you as a design genius! 👻

💡Solution 1: Treat Aesthetic Training as Gossiping and "Devour" 10 Stunning Images Every Day

▪️Browse Canva's recommended page (Remember to get the premium membership👆). Analyze why "big posters + fluorescent colors" are blinding, while "negative space + Morandi colors" look sophisticated.

▪️Copy the homework selectively: Deconstruct the fonts/color combinations/compositions of posters with over 100,000 likes. Next time you revise the draft, just show it to your boss!

💡Solution 2: Use Templates to Create a "Persona", Being as Tactful as Possible

▪️For a mother and baby account = hand-drawn style + macaroon colors + rounded corners border;

▪️For a finance account = metallic texture + beveled lines + data visualization charts;

(Canva's premium templates come with built-in industry classifications, and even the color schemes are ready for you. Please stop using Excel to make bar charts!)

💡Solution 3: Make Good Use of "Borrowing Ideas" and Finish in 5 Minutes

▪️Don't know how to match colors? Just steal the color palette from Canva templates directly.

▪️Don't know how to format? Drag the same style as an Instagram blogger into the canvas and change the copy.

▪️Don't know how to create dynamics? Click on Canva's special effects to generate 3D flips with one click! (The premium membership's dynamic material library is really great. Go and get it!)

🔥Summary of the Golden Sentence:

The biggest scam in the design circle is making you think that "sophistication = burning money and time".
