Graphic design advice for creatives who don't have a corporate budget

Hi, I'm Ibrahima Sarr — the person behind Advise Graphics, a blog dedicated to helping graphic designers, small business owners, and creatives build strong branding and marketing designs without breaking the bank.

Since launching in 2023, Advise Graphics has grown into a go-to resource for people who need great design but don't have an agency-sized budget to get it.

New here? Start with our most popular design guides or join the newsletter for weekly tips — no design degree required.

Why I started Advise Graphics

Too much good design advice online assumes you already have deep pockets, a full creative team, or years of formal training. That's not the reality for most small business owners and independent creatives — and it wasn't my reality either when I started out.

I built Advise Graphics to close that gap: practical, no-fluff guidance on branding, layout, color, typography, and marketing visuals that anyone can apply, whether you're a solo designer juggling client work or a business owner designing your own materials for the first time.

Who this blog is for

Advise Graphics is written for:

Graphic designers looking to sharpen their skills, speed up their workflow, or stay current on design trends and tools
Small business owners who need to create (or commission) branding and marketing materials that actually look professional
Creatives of all kinds who want design know-how without the jargon or the price tag

What you'll find here

Every article is built around one goal: helping you create better designs, faster, and more affordably. Browse the categories to find guides on branding, logo design, marketing collateral, tools and resources, and more.
