To kickstart your Memorial Day SVG design, choose a topic or theme that resonates with the essence of the holiday. Ideas may include patriotism, remembrance, honor, freedom, or gratitude. Let your creativity flow and think about the emotions you want your design to evoke.

Step 2: Pick Graphics

Select graphics that complement your chosen theme. Consider incorporating elements such as stars, stripes, flags, eagles, soldiers, or poppies. You can find inspiration by browsing through Memorial Day imagery, historical references, or even sketching your own unique symbols.

Step 3: Pick Fonts

Fonts play a crucial role in conveying the message of your Memorial Day SVG design. Opt for fonts that reflect the tone you want to set—whether it’s bold and impactful, elegant and timeless, or playful and whimsical. Explore font libraries and experiment with different styles until you find the perfect match.

Step 4: Pick Colors

Choose colors that embody the patriotic spirit of Memorial Day. Red, white, and blue are traditional choices, but don’t be afraid to experiment with shades and variations. Consider incorporating complementary colors or adding metallic accents to enhance the visual appeal of your design.

Step 5: Pick a Phrase

Craft a powerful phrase that encapsulates the significance of Memorial Day. Ideas include “Remember Our Fallen Heroes,” “Honoring the Brave,” or “United in Sacrifice.” Your chosen phrase should align with your theme, graphics, and overall design concept.

Now let’s debunk some myths that hold crafters back when choosing their color palette.

Myth: There are strict rules to follow when choosing a color scheme.

Reality: While there are guidelines to consider, such as complementary or analogous color schemes, there are no strict rules. Experimentation and personal taste are essential in the creative process.

Myth: Neutral colors are boring and should be avoided.

Reality: Neutral colors, such as beige, grey, and white, can provide a calming and sophisticated effect to a design. They are often used as a background or to highlight other colors.

Myth: Colors must be exact matches to work well together.

Reality: Colors do not have to match precisely to create an effective design. Variations of shades and tones can create depth and interest.

Color Picking Framework

Now that we have busted some myths, let’s get to the color framework.

Step 1: Pick Your Topic or Design Start by identifying the topic or design you want to create.

What is the purpose of your design? Who is your target audience? Consider these questions when choosing your topic or design.

Step 2: Pick Your Color Scheme Once you have your topic or design in mind, choose a color scheme that complements it.

There are several color schemes to choose from, such as analogous, complementary, and triadic. Consider the mood you want to convey and the emotions you want to evoke with your design.

Step 3: Pick Your Colors Finally, choose the specific colors that fit within your chosen color scheme.

Think about the hue, saturation, and brightness of each color and how they work together. Use color theory principles to ensure your colors harmonize with each other and create a visually appealing design.

Do you find yourself constantly struggling to find enough time to create your own custom designs for your Cricut projects? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Hi, I’m Chaniece from Hypnotic Glamour Designs, and I understand the challenges of finding time for creative pursuits. In this post, I’m going to share three ways to have time for your custom designs and help you dispel some myths that may be holding you back.

By the end of this post, you’ll have a fresh perspective on the time it takes to create custom designs and be empowered with practical tips to incorporate into your busy schedule.

Let’s start with some myths crafters believe about having time to create their own custom designs.

Myth #1: It requires lots of planning and prep.

While planning and preparation are important, it doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process. By using a planner such as the Confident Cricut Crafter’s planner to brainstorm your ideas, you can focus on the essential components you need to get started and plan your projects in just minutes. This will help you stay organized and save time in the long run.

Myth #2: You need to have large blocks of time to create your own designs.

Many crafters believe that creating custom designs requires large blocks of uninterrupted time. But with frameworks such as my proprietary methods for picking your designs, fonts, and colors, you can quickly and easily select the details for your project. Use an easy-to-follow structure and save yourself a ton of time.

Myth #3: It’s faster to use premade designs.

While it may seem quicker to use premade designs, they lack the ability to be highly customizable. Instead, use a template so you can still make exactly what you want, how you want, without starting from scratch. Templates give you a head start and help you create unique designs that are tailored to your specific needs.
