Tips on making Halloween cat designs

Focus on the cat

If you have decided to use cats in your Halloween flyer, don’t insert them in the borders or in the background. Use them as the key selling point in your designs. Any animal you insert in your design adds to the visual aspect of it, including cats. Since black cats are typically associated with Halloween, don’t use cats of other colors as you are trying to sell your Halloween event. Furthermore, as you will be using black-colored cats, try balancing it with other colors in your design to make it more attractive. Black, together with white is a neutral color and will make your design dull if you use it too much.

Have contrasting colors

As previously mentioned, since black-colored cats will be used for your Halloween designs, it is better if you have contrasting colors to balance the cat’s very dark hue. Any color matches with black although red, yellow, and orange are preferable to use this Halloween season. Let the cat take control of your design and pair it with other colors in the border templates. It is also advisable to choose designs which don’t all involve cats but also has a combination of other images and designs as well.

Minimize the use of text

This is one of the things you should avoid at all costs. Don’t fill your designs with text and make it look like a novel people will have to read. Since your Halloween designs will be used for events, try to limit the text as much as possible and only include the important event details such as the event name, venue, address, and event time. If you are planning to add more text, incorporate them instead in your website templates or social media where you can freely list down in-depth details of your event.

Hire a graphic designer for assistance

If you have already chosen your desired Halloween cat template but still encounter problems making the final design, try hiring a graphic designer to assist you. Most of the time, downloadable templates are easy to manage as they come with handy instruction manuals to guide you through each step when making the design. Contact an experienced designer or visit a graphic designer if you are having problems with your design especially if instructions are not clear or you feel like the design you made isn’t similar to the one advertised on the designer’s page. Remember that designers are quite expensive, so make sure you get your money’s worth by choosing experienced designers who can easily get your instructions and even finish your design in a span of a few hours.
