Creating Creative Assets for your Courses

Posted by The Course Creators Circle Team | Design Tools for Course Creation |

When you sit down to start creating your course, you quickly realise that there are a lot of creative assets that you’ll also need to factor in time to create. For many, these assets cover a wide range of areas including graphics, images, quotes, marketing assets, social media assets and more.

If you don’t have a design background, it’s very easy to get lost and overwhelmed when it comes to creating these assets, and it is all too easy to throw in the towel and get someone else to do it. That’s all well and good if you don’t have the time, but learning to create your own creative assets for your courses allows you to make quick changes on the fly, or design new courses for publishing without relying on someone else.
