🎨 Visual design is one of my passions and an essential skill for those who work in digital learning. Fun fact: this skill helped me kick off my career in Instructional Design. How the learning materials look is pivotal in building an effective learning experience. Colors, fonts, images, negative space – all of this can help the learner focus on the material simplifying its understanding, or become an obstacle towards new knowledge. In this post, I'm uncovering five main aspects to consider when working on the visual design of your course ⤵ #instructionaldesign #digitallearning #learninganddevelopment #elearning #visualdesign #lxdesign

Great design isn't just about aesthetics; it's a also powerful tool for enhancing learning. 📘✨ In my work as a graphic designer and instructional designer, I’ve seen firsthand how the right visuals can transform the educational experience. Whether you're running courses or group programs, the clarity and engagement that design brings to your content can significantly impact your audience's ability to absorb and retain information. Here’s the thing: design in learning isn’t about complexity or following a single style. It’s about creating an environment where information is not just seen but felt and remembered. So, if you’re an ambitious business owner ready to elevate your courses or planning to launch them soon, here’s a friendly reminder: great design is your ally! Looking to blend great design with effective learning? Let’s chat. My DMs are open for those ready to make learning not just informative, but unforgettable. 🚀 #GraphicDesign #InstructionalDesign #LearningThroughDesign #BusinessGrowth

Your e-learning design can either be a memory or a masterpiece👇 Let's turn it into the latter. 𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: Stories not only ignite interest but also boost information retention. 𝟮. 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Incorporate quizzes, puzzles, and rewards. 𝟯. 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Less is often more. Use clean layouts, simple instructions, and intuitive navigation. 𝟰. 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀: Engage the senses. Use high-quality images, infographics, and videos. 𝟱. 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: Encourage interactive responses. Facilitate discussion forums, surveys, or one-on-one feedback sessions. Remember, the goal isn't just to inform, but to inspire, engage, and ignite curiosity. To do so, you need the right tool. And that's where I come in place. What's your tip for creating masterpieces?
