Applying Graphic Design Principles for Learning Design
Graphic design principles play a significant role in making learning materials more engaging and effective. The following are graphic design principles I keep in mind when creating learning materials.
Balance: A visually balanced design creates a stable and organized look.
Contrast: Contrasting colors, shapes and sizes help to highlight important information and make the design more dynamic.
Alignment: Keeping elements aligned creates an orderly appearance and helps to guide the viewer’s eye while improving readability.
Repetition: Using visually consistent fonts, colors, and design elements throughout the project creates a cohesive and consistent look.
Proximity: Grouping related elements together clearly shows their connection and makes the content easier to understand.
Hierarchy: Establishing a clear visual hierarchy with different sizes, colors and positions for various elements helps prioritize information and guide the viewer’s attention.
White Space: Empty spaces help to reduce visual clutter and allows the viewer to focus on the most important elements.
Typography: Selecting a hierarchy of font sizes and styles helps to emphasize key points.
