Visuals Checklist

Back to all lessons

Plan

1. Concept

Objective is clear The purpose of the graphic is clearly defined (e.g., educational, marketing, informative).
Target Audience is clear I know who the visual is meant for to tailor the design appropriately (e.g., age, interests).

2. Design System Elements

Color Scheme Palette that reflects the theme and is ready and is visually appealing.
Typography Fonts are readable and match the tone of the message. There is not more than 2 different fonts in the visual
Imagery High-quality images or illustrations are ready to be placed into to the content.

Design

1. Visuals

Clear content hierarchy Design It is clear what is the most important element on the visual, and how the eye moves based on the visual hierarchy

2. Content Integration

Message is clear Text is concise and to the point. The main message should be immediately clear to the audience.
Visual to Text Ratio is balanced Text is balanced with visual elements. Too much text can overwhelm the viewer, while too many visuals might dilute the message.

Finalization

Proofread There are no typos or grammatical errors.
Resolution is sufficient The visual looks crispy when opened to size in which the viewer typically sees it
