If you want original looking custom stickers, you have to know precisely which elements to change and manipulate to effectively project your distinct layout. Believe me, this can be difficult at times simply because of the sheer amount of creativity and innovation going around. This is because of all those digital tools for designing print materials such as stickers of course.

So the key really is know the CORRECT elements to change in your color stickers to make them more original looking. Luckily for you, I am here exactly to tell you what those are. Look at the items below and you should see clearly the options you should manipulate and customize to make sure that your color stickers will look more original.

1. Changing the shape and size.

The size and shape is one of the most easiest elements that you can adjust to make color stickers look more distinct and unique. So for example, since most people expect rectangular stickers actually, you can alter your own stickers and of course use a more different kind of shape.

The same goes for the size. If most stickers in your market or environment are of a certain standard size, you can go for something immensely bigger or smaller to get your stickers noticed. Size can be the precursor really to a more original work since most readers will realize that you are doing something new and interesting with your sticker prints.

2. Reinventing your sticker messages.

Of course, you should also take note that the originality of color stickers also relies on its message of course. If people have heard the message on your stickers before or even any other derivatives of that same message, their typical tendency is to ignore those prints as something they have seen before.

So instead of writing the usual things on your stickers (be it for commercial or personal reasons), why don’t you try to compose something totally unique and different? Approach your message from a very different angle. Try teasing, entertaining or even making a mystery out of your message. The more you can go beyond reader’s expectations in terms of messages the easier it should be to become more original with your prints.

3. Using more uncommon type symbols.

When people look at stickers, most them also expect to see some very common symbols or logos. This is to be expected because stickers typically need some sort of symbol to hem in the message they are trying to communicate.

Now, to make things more original with your stickers, you may want to try to use more uncommon symbols or modified versions of these symbols. By adding a fresh new shape or silhouette that people need to analyze anew, you of course add that original look and message into the sticker print itself.

4. Using fresh never before seen fonts.

We all know that stickers will need text content. Text content of course have font styles to make them look a particular way. If you want to make your stickers look more original, the trick is to use a new font style that few people have actually seen in public.

This can be a fresh new font you found on the Internet, or it may even be a custom font that you had someone make. With never before seen fonts, it is easy to add that unique feel to your designs, so if possible try to invest in them as well.

5. Adding the right new and interesting printing materials.

Lastly, stickers can be made to look more original by adding the right and new interesting materials that makes them look extra special. For example, you can add special reflectors on your stickers to make them shine and reflect with the light. Alternatively, you can just use specialized metallic inks that will make the text gleam like written gold or silver. These interesting materials add that extra level of originality helping your designs become distinct and of course become all so memorable.

Those are the key elements that you can manipulate for a better and more original looking sticker design. Adjust all these according to your theme and make all the distinct and different type decisions and you should achieve more original looking stickers in no time.
