Design tips for dreamy goodnight messages

A beautifully designed good night message shows someone just how much you care. It gives them a dash of positivity to end their day, no matter what happened before crawling into bed. That’s a real gift. When we go to bed sad or angry, we’re hurting our chances of a good night’s rest.

Ready to design your message? Read through a few of our design tips below.

1. Pick your color palette

Colors evoke emotions and create experiences (Think about the phrase “Feeling blue.” Emotion, right?) When designing your good night message, consider how you can use colors to complement your words. Colors like blue, black, purple, teal, gold, and silver all paint a nighttime picture. Check out our comprehensive post on color theory to learn more about the cool complexities that come with using colors in designs.  

2. Play with texture

Texturing can seriously elevate your images, patterns, colors, etc. Think of texture as the feel of something. If that seems obvious, let’s take it a step further. In design language, texture is about illusion. Better yet — physical illusion. You want your image to look and feel as real as possible, doubly so when creating a provocative and otherworldly good night message.

3. Publish your content

If you’re printing your image, we recommend a PNG file for the cleanest output. If sharing digitally, a JPG will work just fine. Keep in mind, there’s plenty of creative wiggle room when choosing what to do with your message. Beyond sharing with someone special, why not post an eye-catching design for your social media followers? Or beautify one of our descriptive good night messages and use it as wall art in your bedroom. What’s that old proverb? Variety is the spice of life. You have plenty of options when choosing how to use your design!
