Personalisation Tips

Express Yourself!

Let your creativity shine and design something that’s truly unique to you. Whether it’s bold and bright or sleek and sophisticated, make sure your creation reflects who you are. That’s why we started ‘So Your Own’ — to empower you to express yourself through personalised products that make you feel your best and bring you joy.

Looking for some tips to get started? Here are a few suggestions to help you craft the perfect design:

Start with a Vision

Think about the overall look and feel you want your product to convey. Are you aiming for something bold and vibrant, or subtle and elegant? Your design should reflect your personality, style, and purpose — whether it’s for everyday use, a special occasion, or simply to add a personal touch to your space.

Choose Colours Wisely

Colour plays a significant role in design. Consider colours that complement your style, match your theme, or simply ones that you love. Contrasting colours can make elements pop, while complementary colours offer a more harmonious look.

Incorporate Personal Elements

Add a personal touch by including your initials, name, or a meaningful symbol or image. You can also incorporate patterns or designs that have special significance, like a favourite flower, a lucky number, or a custom graphic that represents your passion.

Balance Your Design

When placing elements on your product, think about balance and symmetry. A well-balanced design will be pleasing to the eye and look great from all angles. Center key elements or repeat patterns to create a cohesive look.

Consider the Material

Keep in mind that the material's texture and flexibility can affect how the design appears. Bold, large patterns and graphics tend to work well, as they maintain their appearance even when the material flexes or stretches. Fine details can be beautiful but should be strategically placed to avoid distortion.

Less Can Be More

While it’s tempting to add lots of elements, sometimes a simple, clean design makes the strongest statement. Focus on what’s most important to you, and don’t be afraid to embrace minimalism. Remember, you can always create more personalised items to complement your collection!
