Ways to Create Awesome Custom E-Learning Graphics
The greatest challenge we face these days, is to find appropriate graphics. And more often, we don’t have the time to source the right ones, or the budget to buy them.
One particularly day, my colleague and I wondered if we could build graphics ourselves. He fired up MS Paint (don’t laugh) and came up with these pictograms, which are simple representations of real objects:
From there, we found more and more ways to adapt these characters. We combined simple shapes to build forklifts, cranes, and other elements for our courses.
Fortunately, you don’t have to be an artist to make these pictograms work. By combining a collection of simple shapes with a little imagination, it’s amazingly simple to create your own graphics.
Need a character? Just grab a circle and a few rounded rectangles to get started.
Need them posed a certain way? Or wearing some safety equipment? Just add a couple more shapes, then size and rotate them until you have what you need.
Your images don’t need to be fancy or complicated to be effective. The whole reason to include them is to communicate your ideas in the simplest way possible. As long as they get your ideas across to others, they are good enough.
Any tool that lets you create and combine simple shapes will work.
