Week 3: Digital Images

This flyer will be used to market my course to virtual schools and interested teachers. Once my course is complete, it will have a link that takes interested learners to a sign up form when they click on the register now button and will also contain a QR Code that can be scanned to take them to registration.

In order to meet the design requirements, I was very intentional about ensuring that all visual design principles were evident. I used simplicity by using the “What We Will Cover” list. I also used contrast in all of my design and used a contrast checker to ensure that all text colors used passed the test. I also used alignment in order to ensure that all elements looked organized on the page. I also used Alt Text descriptions for the pictures at the top (but not of the picture of me).

My logo design is for my future learning company, “Caffeenated Learning” (which is a play on my last name). I wanted to reflect that my company will “energize" trainings and curriculum. Therefore, I put a book in the center of it and then had a coffee cup in the book with magical-looking stars coming out of the cup. I played around with other logos as well, but this was my favorite. You can see the other logos that I made here.

For the image, I used a picture of myself that I also have on the homepage of my portfolio (see image here). I used Be Funky to adjust the colors, but ultimately decided that I liked the balance as-is. Instead, I decided to remove the background because I thought that it would make the image stand out on my flyer and would maximize the use of space.
