The first thing that comes to my mind when someone says designing visuals is excel. Excel is a great program that helps you turn data and numbers into graphs, tables and charts that are easy to work with, read and understand. There are many other programs out there but I had to use this one a lot in my classes so far, so I'm sure everyone is familiar with the program. I think Excel is the easiest to use.
When it comes to editing picture and photographs all I've worked with is Photoshop. Photoshop is a great tool that pretty much lets you add anything you can think of to a picture. You can turn things black and white, add 3D effects, color effects, and a ton more.
Just keep three things in mind when you are designing a visual for professional writing, make sure it is visible, clear and simple. You don't want the visual you took all this time designing to distract and bring the listener's or reader's attention and focus away from your objective.
Great visual Brandon, I like that you used your own personal experience with the post. I am not good with photoshop, but It seems like you know what you're doing. Great job on the last post.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good post. You used your voice by including Daniel's previous post. The examples included were also helpful and kept it interesting.
