One Process for Creating Graphics for Learning
• Analyzethe context for the graphic,
• Createthe graphic, guided by
– Principles such as
(selection, organization, and integration) and using
– Actions like
(contrasting, aligning, repeating, and proximity) as well as
– Tools like
(type, color, shape, depth and space), then
• Evaluatefor effectiveness, efficiency and appeal.
