Your design needs some TLC. Typography Layout Color In that order… You can start a VERY strong foundation by limiting your font sizes, working with a strong explicit and implicit grid system, then choosing a single color to represent action. The majority of designs I review have much room for improvement in these three areas. Too often I see designers jumping to conceptual ideas of style, etc while neglecting typography, layout, and color. Give your designs some TLC and let everything else flow from there.

Typography , icon set and brand color matter a lot in design. If your choice in this is bad the design will underperform as intended. My idea choice of using typography is; ✅ Using same type of font family. ✅ Use two different fonts at most for a great design. For color; ✔️ Three color at most in your design. ✔️ Let the colors align with the brand. ➡️ For icon set it's a creative's choice. This will elevate your designs. Willys Mwariri

Typography: Use a clean, modern sans-serif font (like LinkedIn’s “Source Sans Pro” style). Make the title bold for visibility. 2. Color Scheme: LinkedIn uses blue (#0A66C2) and white. You can adopt a similar professional color palette or choose a brand color that represents your business. 3. Icon (Optional): You can add a simple icon next to the text, like a monogram or abstract shape, similar to how LinkedIn has the “in” icon. 4. Layout: Horizontal layout: Icon on the left, text on the right. Rounded or slightly squared corners for a modern, professional feel.
