I've figured out how people make those fancy designed emails that all look like one image (Figma and the snip tool to break it up into parts).
Does anyone know some good resources on graphic design so I can actually make decent looking designs?
I don't know any graphic design theory and everything I do just looks too bland or busy. I know how to use the tools, now I need to know how to make them look good.
I don't have any good tips but I do muddle through using Canva. Its got some great templates. And MailChimp used to have good templates for mailouts too.
I saw a good tip was to pull all the images out of an email you like and recreate it in Canva so you can see how the elements fit together better
