Why Most Creators Look Junior (And How to Fix It)
You’re a smart creator.
You show up. You write.
You teach. You give value.
But your posts still look… DIY.
Not in a good, charming way.
More like “this person just discovered Canva yesterday” kind of way.
That’s the visual curse no one talks about.
Looking junior even when you’re not.
Because if your design feels off, people assume you are off.
And they scroll past.
Here’s the good news:
You don’t need to be a designer.
You don’t need to learn Photoshop.
And you don’t need a logo to “look branded.”
But you do need to fix a few key visual signals that quietly build trust or slowly drain it.
