Just Make It Look Pretty: Principles of Designsteinbce
Presented at: eLearning Guild's Learning Solutions Conference: March 2017. Slide deck as presented.
//
This session explored several fundamental principles of visual design and illustrated how they can make designs more fluid and impactful, enhancing the content, regardless of the user’s graphic design training.
What Designs Need To Know About Visual DesignBen Hall
This document discusses what developers need to know about visual design. It covers key topics like layout, images, colors, typography and feedback. Visual design is important because attractive designs work better by positively influencing opinions and credibility. The document provides examples and recommendations for each design element, emphasizing the importance of testing designs and iterating based on feedback. Developers are encouraged to experiment with design principles like software development best practices.
What Developers Need To Know About Visual DesignBen Hall
The document discusses various topics related to visual design for developers including layout, images and icons, colors, typography, and feedback. It provides examples and recommendations for each topic. Some key points covered include using whitespace for emphasis, following design principles like the golden ratio, using consistent and recognizable icons, establishing a color scheme, experimenting with different fonts and weights, and getting feedback through usability testing. The overall message is that visual design is important for products and that developers should learn design principles to create attractive interfaces that work better.
This document provides guidance on conceptual mobile app design. It discusses finding the core concept or "center" by understanding when and why users would need the app. Key aspects include focusing on situational opportunities rather than features, using nouns and verbs to describe screens and interactions, and being ruthless in evaluating ideas to identify what makes the app unique. The document stresses designing for how the app fits into people's lives rather than just its capabilities.

This document discusses the role of ethics in society. It argues that ethics derives its legitimacy from its rationality and the self-evident principles on which it is based. It also claims that societies that maintain unethical attitudes will inevitably enter deep crises and become destabilized, as ethics acts as a kind of "cement" holding society together.
The document outlines techniques for creating more effective presentation slides. It discusses the problems with traditional slide designs, such as using slides as teleprompters that force audiences to choose between listening and reading. The document recommends using visual techniques like limiting text, choosing a consistent color scheme, and adding visual elements to engage audiences and emphasize key points. It also provides templates and examples of better slide design practices.
