Design Lifehacks
Designing has so vivid areas to cover which can't be explained into one field. Everything around is designed, from buildings to clothes and more.
The above picture covers every aspect which I am going to unfold here. It will be very interesting to relate. By the way This picture is from Kashmir(Also called heaven on earth) in India.
Colour Schematics
To begin with, Colour is a very common and weary topic to discuss about, But not if you understand how logically colour schematics works.
There is a colour wheel and it's complimentary, analogous, monochromatic etc schemes helps a lot if picking colour for interior or clothes or anything. The picture above depicts the vivid hues and tones of Blue and orange also they are complimentary colours according to colour wheel.
If one lacks at what color combination must suit the said space or design, there's a tip, If you want to seek new colour combination then there are several sites which offer them, but there are two legit and by far best sites
ADOBE PALLETE and COLORHUNT PALLETE
They offer royalty free palate and you can chose from various options.
Also I would like to highlight some of my favourite colour combinations, It might help designers here and people belonging to other field as well for designing ppts, fashion and stuff.

This is my selected few, the colour code is mentioned on the side of each. If you aren't aware of adobe's world then let me brief, These are the colour codes we can use to get the exact colour. Any person can type the code on google and it will show you the exact one. So, use them for fashion, office presentations and more.
Typography
Typography constitute of enormous things. The regular font bar in softwares are set of very common typefaces. To stand out in your design, be it Conceptual sheets, mood boards, portfolio's sheets, drawing seal and for people belonging to other fields of work, The presentations, letters, cards etc Typography plays an important role.
If it's not the regular one, and some different style will immediately be eye-catching. So, in order to stand out and unique then avoid cliché fonts used by majority of people.
One can download the free set of fonts from various sites on internet but I would recommend-
GOOGLE FONTS
But, there are numerous typography designers who have their career dedicated to fonts so, there are some premium fonts sites which I would like to recommend and those aren't free and they are genuinely worthy.
FONTS BY HOEFLER & CO
BNICKS
These are bunch of my favourites with their name and style, you might like any one of them and if you are thinking of using it so here's the process of installation-
Download your purchased or free typography (It will be a zip file)
After opening that file, extract the font to any specific folder.
Open the file, and do not get confused there will be a huge install tab n the top menu bar, install them
Now use this font in any adobe or Microsoft softwares.
Please note that respecting artist's work is important, always use free of cost only if the designer has set them for free use otherwise purchase the work.
Principles
There are certain architecture and design principles which can be applied to various things. let's get into few of them-
The first one is Balance
Simply scroll back to the first picture, one can easily notice balance but in asymmetrical form. Similarly applying balance whether symmetrical or asymmetrical to your photography, designs, planning, structures or even presentation defines ones organised behaviour.
To continue let me jump into Perspective Proportion
The one point, two point and more points perspective proportions takes the sight into a single rhythm.
That's one point perspective. There is invisible single point right at the centre of this digital sketch of corridor, This is the example of how one can create dimensional sketches through a perspective knowledge.
This is a photographic example. This picture displays an invisible perspective to the extreme right. It just takes your sight in a sync towards right where the water is flowing. Through the knowledge of perspective these wonderful pictures and more can be created.
The last but not the least one is a picture of tennis court in my city, Since I and my brother loves to play tennis, I often play in his academy. So yesterday I captured this picture, It unveils the majestic city's skyline behind and this open clay court in front. I am sensing harmony and contrast in the below mentioned picture, what are your perspective of this particular one?
The pictures mentioned above are mine.
