Link Creative Design Review
Oct 29th
Lindsey’s on-line portfolio demonstrates her design talents. This freelancer from Ohio, is a master with Traditional Illustration, Graphic and Web Design.
With her 7+ years of experience with design, Lindsey has started up her own service for public use in 2008. She has called this Link Creative, which provides affordable designs for clients of all kinds.
Lindsey is powered by the need to create illustrations from scratch and spend as many hours as it takes on it, to make it her perfection. Not only does she do this with her free-hand’s, she keeps this style of creativity for all of her designs.
None of Lindsey’s illustration or design begin without thorough research of the client’s goals, target market and needs. Link Creative is always looking forward to taking on new creative challenges, and helping their clients in that process.
With this natural ability to draw custom designs and lettering, she can meet the diverse needs of the clients. Her illustration of a Falcon was hand drawn, edited in Illustrator and then Photoshop . The colours and other context mix well with the focus on the Falcon. This illustration not only shows her ability as an illustrator but as someone who can use and merge designs multiple media’s without any trouble and creating such a beautiful outcome.
She has managed to differentiate herself from most services by providing a custom platform for clients. But not only is Lindsey willing to help the customers meet their goals, she is willing to go that extra mile to set up those specific details they require to also set them apart from their competitors, when designing something like a logo for their company.

Creating Smart LMS Visuals for E-Learning Courseware
Sep 10th
E-learning course developers preparing content for migration to learning management system are typically faced with a host of choices to make. Besides the more practical concerns such as navigation and deciding which tools to employ, there are also aesthetic choices. Namely, you’ll have to make choices regarding the course’s style and design. Your courseware logo is just one element in the design–but it’s an important one.
You may wonder, is a logo really necessary for an online course? It’s true that in many ways a logo is just a gimmick. When it really comes down to it, it doesn’t make much of a difference. Your e-learning course has to be well-developed and unique to thrive and find users. But it’s also true that we don’t use expressions like “Don’t judge a book by its cover” for no reason at all. The reality is that we do judge based on visual cues. We make quick decisions based on these visuals when we decide on everything from cars to education to a romantic interest. Just like an interest-piquing book cover, a logo has the power to intrigue.
Think of it this way: your logo is the pure visual embodiment of your expertise and your courseware system; it symbolizes your learning content and with time, will foster customer recognition.
Your logo can take any form you like. It may be simply an image, in the form of an icon or sign (ideograms) or it could also be a simple word (logotype). Ideograms can be often be recognized alone, like the Nike swish–you know the swish refers to without seeing the word Nike. You may also choose a mix of these two kinds of logos.
Another choice you have is to hire a graphic designer to design your courseware logo, or add your own personal touch by coming up with one yourself. After all, it’s your e-learning course, based on your expertise and subject knowledge. Furthermore, designing a logo isn’t all that hard and doesn’t require an expert. Anyone can do it.
So, how do you come up with a great logo? It won’t come to you in your sleep. You have to make your hand do some work. Tirelessly brainstorm your ideas and sketch them out by hand, using up lots of paper. This is the strategy big design companies use. Their graphic designers sketch everything out by hand before even going near a computer. Sketching by hand is the easiest and quickest way to imagine and design your courseware logo.
Now that you have a simple but unique logo in front of you, it’s time to test it out. Be adventurous. Experiment with your design, adding new colors, mixing up shades and tones, and adding and subtracting images. Test your logo in various situations, inserting text in different positions to find out where it looks best. Test different font sizes and styles.
Make your logo strong and simple. It should represent your unique e-learning content, and a learning management system course in which learners will feel confident placing their trust.
