Blending in is terrible advice.
I kept seeing those billboard-style quotes go viral on Linkedin for people with big followings, and I thought:
maybe that’s what I should do too?
Turns out, those rules aren’t the same for everyone.
If you’ve already got 100k+ followers, you can post almost anything and it will land. People follow you for you.
But if your account is still small, the game is different.
You need to make your brand memorable and recognizable.
Pick a color. Stick to it.
Try formats nobody else is trying.
Experiment until you find what fits.
That’s what I did. I started creating simple hand-drawn graphics in Canva. Nothing fancy, just different enough to stand out.
And to my surprise, not many people even knew this feature existed. They were still posting the same brownish AI-generated comics.
That was my lightbulb moment: standing out doesn’t mean louder, flashier, or more polished. It often just means different.
Today, I'm going to show you a cool Canva Pro feature that most people have probably missed.

Framework #25: Create minimalistic illustrations in Canva (Pro)
Not every post has to be image-heavy.
I personally like to mix it up.
Sometimes I share text-only posts, sometimes images. When I do use visuals, I often create my own minimalistic illustrations in Canva Pro.
Big fat disclaimer: I am not a designer. If I can do this, so can you
It’s simpler than you might think, and if anything, you may learn a new function in Canva that you have never explored.
Let me walk you through the 5-step process.
