1. Visual design in education involves using visual elements like lines, colors, forms and textures alongside principles of alignment, balance, contrast, chunking, repetition, utility and simplicity to effectively convey information to learners. 2. A skilled visual designer coordinates the use of visual masses and spaces to create a visually pleasant experience for viewers. Key elements include lines that guide the eye, colors that convey meaning, and forms that represent ideas. 3. Effective visual design requires understanding these elements and applying principles such as aligning text and images, balancing elements across the page, emphasizing contrasts, grouping related content, repeating themes, ensuring interactive elements are useful, and keeping the overall design simple.
