	Reading: Color: Color in Mind (PDF: 330 KB / 7 pages) by Bruce Fraser http://www.adobe.com/products/adobemag/archive/ pdfs/9611febf.pdf Despite advances in the technology of measuring and managing it, how we perceive color is still full of mystery and illusions. A Picture is Worth 1000 Words: Visual Design in e-Learning by Shevy Levy and Jim Yupangco (PDF) from the e-Learning Guild The visual pathway is enormously important to human learning, yet much of our attention in instructional design goes to text and sometimes to audio. While visual design is a complex topic, it relies on a few basic principles. Even if you think you have no "artistic talent," you can learn and apply these design principles. This article, A Picture is Worth 1000 Words: Visual Design in e-Learning by Shevy Levy and Jim Yupangco, will help you to quickly improve the effectiveness of your screen designs, color choices, and composition!
