Visual design has impact. It makes a powerful statement about your professionalism and credibility. It influences a learner’s motivation, enjoyment, and ability to learn. Discover how to create a visual look that is well-planned and intentional rather than random and haphazard. Learn how to transform common graphic-design errors and overcome amateurish mistakes.
Participants in this session will explore how effective designs are based on how people perceive and process visual information, as well as on established visual design principles. You’ll learn about common visual-design mistakes and discover ways to overcome them. You’ll see a variety of robust solutions based on aesthetics and cognitive research. If your visual design skills leave something to be desired, then join us for this fun-filled session of transformation. It promises to boost your confidence in your own design abilities.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to overcome that “no style” look
- How to avoid common typeface mistakes
- How to make text more readable
- How to improve usability
- How to enhance the instructional value of your visuals
- And more!
