DIY Design: A Practical Field Guide for Dreamers & Doers

DIY Design for Dreamers & Doers
A Practical Field Guide by Aaron Embrey

This isn’t your typical design manual.
This is a soulful, sketchbook-style starter kit for dreamers, artists, and everyday creators ready to bring their voice and vision to life.

Inside this free Field Guide, you'll find:
• A simple way to clarify your brand essence using the YOU / PROJECT / AUDIENCE Venn diagram
• Accessible design tools and visual principles explained through typography, color, and composition
• Real-world prompts and reflection questions to help you move from stuck to creating
• Encouragement to reclaim your creative power — whether you’re DIY-ing your first zine, brand, or social post

This field guide pairs perfectly with my YouTube series, Graphic Design From the Inside Out, and is infused with nearly three decades of creative practice, lived experience, and soul.

This guide is for you if…

• You want to design with more heart and less overwhelm
• You're creating something meaningful and want it to feel like you
• You're not a "professional designer" (and you don't need to be)
• You're curious about reclaiming your creative instincts and visual voice

What You’ll Get:

• A beautifully crafted downloadable PDF
• Exercises + quick wins to build your confidence
• Tips, prompts, and visual guidance from a real designer/educator (that’s me)

Let’s make something true to you.
Start here. Start now. Start from the inside out.
