Tips and Tricks for Designing With LGBTQ+ Pride

Before you create your art for LGBTQ+ Pride Month, it helps to keep some basic design tips in mind. Try using color theory and added elements to make your art the best it can be.

  • Using Color Theory To Create Impactful Designs

Even in a rainbow design, color theory matters. Each color has a different meaning within the flag, and they all trigger different emotions and responses on their own. When you include Pride colors, try using elements that complement them and make your design pop.

  • Balancing Text and Visuals for Clear Messaging

When you add text to your design, you want it to convey a clear message without overwhelming your visual elements. Make sure your text doesn't cover anything important, and use a readable font that complements the overall aesthetic of your work.

The Historical Evolution of LGBTQ+ Pride Design

When you think of the Pride flag, you probably think of the rainbow design created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker. Harvey Milk, California's first openly gay elected official, requested he make it, and it debuted in June of that year.

While it all started with the rainbow flag, people of different identities across the LGBTQ+ spectrum now have dozens of flags to represent their identities, from bisexual to asexual to transgender designs. While not everyone likes a label, many people find folks who share their identities by wearing or displaying the flag that matches who they are.

The Rainbow Flag: More Than Just Colors

Since its creation, the Pride flag has been a symbol to represent LGBTQ+ identities and the social movements for equality throughout history. Over time, the Pride flag has evolved, adding black and brown stripes to recognize Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) who face discrimination in LGBTQ+ spaces. It also honors the lives of BIPOC who have played a major role in furthering LGBTQ+ rights.

Recently, the flag also added a yellow triangle with a purple circle to include the intersex community. The rainbow flag and all the other Pride flag designs give many people a sense of belonging within the LGBTQ+ communities.

How To Create Respectful Pride Art

Celebrating LGBTQ+ Month goes beyond making pretty art. Your Pride creations should show how you genuinely support these communities, whether through branding, merch, or social media. Here are a few suggestions for making Pride art that connects with people.

  • Business Branding

Before you create your branding, make sure you know what Pride means and show your customers that you're not just taking advantage of an opportunity to make money with LGBTQ+ designs. Consider donating through your business to an LGBTQ+ organization or finding ways to contribute to LGBTQ+ spaces in your community.

  • Pride-Themed Merch

When creating merch, make sure you do your research and understand what your community wants. You can use Pride colors in creative ways in your merch, and don't be afraid to go beyond the rainbow flag! Being inclusive of multiple LGBTQ+ identities shows the community that you're learning about them and representing multiple identities in your business.

  • Social Media and Digital Platforms

This month, use your social and online presence to connect with your LGBTQ+ followers. You can use PhotoDirector to put together educational posts, resources, and quotes that highlight why Pride Month is important.
