Visual Design Tools
What tool do I use when I need to design a really basic visual?
I create a lot of one-pagers to promote new learning opportunities at CSG.
They have a wide variety of uses: some go out as email attachments to customers, and some I use to socialize programs internally.
Attached to this post is an example I made. I want you to guess which tool I made to create this visual.
Did I use:
Adobe Illustrator?
PowerPoint?
Canva?
Ultimately, I don’t think the tool really matters. It’s the human design element that is more important. Every tool has shapes, color droppers, and masking.
I posted a couple weeks ago that I feel the same way about LMS functionality. You control the user experience with your design choices.
No matter what license your team has, build up a core set of templates with company branding and you will be just fine.
So, what did I use?
Now that we’ve reached the end of the post, I’ll reveal… I used NONE OF THE ABOVE! I created this visual in Google Slides. 😜
This visual would look the same built in any of the aforementioned tools.
