8 Minimalist Print Designs that Make a Big Impact

Established relatively recently in the 1960s and 70s, minimalism is still growing in popularity and it set to be an up and coming (if not already here!) design trend for the years to come. 
To help you get ahead of the trend, here’s a little bit more about minimalistic design and 8 free design templates that you can customise using our online design tool.

What is Minimalist Design?

Minimalistic design is where excessive or decorative elements are stripped back leaving only what’s necessary. This creates a clean and effective style that’s popular amongst many graphic designers and therefore is a great way to achieve a professional look, whether you’ve got an eye for design or not.

This is also especially effective when it comes to printed materials, like posters or business cards, as emphasising the important details will help you hit the key objective of this form of marketing – to communicate said information to potential customers!
 

8 Free Minimalist Design Templates

1.    Minimalist

For this list, it’d be rude not to include our free minimalist design templates! Available across a range of stationery, including business cards and letterheads, this simple yet stylish grey and white design captures everything that it means to be minimal.
 

The beauty of this design is that you can change any of the text and background colours to match your branding and add your logo and it’ll still look just as good.

2.    Basic

With our basic template, you can keep it as minimal as you like because we’ve left it largely blank, other than suggestions of where to place your text and logo design. For a minimalist approach, stick to the bare minimum. Or if you’d like to add a little more, feel free to add shapes, icons and text as you see fit.

5.    Neon

6.    Beige

Beige is such a classic colour and suits small businesses like online crafters. It’s also considered a warm and friendly colour, which makes this design perfect for personal use too. We offer this design on greetings cards – we’ve made it a thank you card, but you can change the messaging to suit whatever it is you’d like to tell your customers!
