is it going to be a revision of storyline? Most of my training was storyboarded in powerpoint and as you know there was no easy way to convert presenter files to Storyline.
I think this article is very hard to read. At least on my display it is soft grays on a white backdrop. For a company that specializes in e-Learning and visuals it was a bad choice.
That much larger image requires horizontal scrolling for me (maximized Firefox on 1920 x 1200 resolution monitor). It doesn't appear to be a responsive image.
Completely agree. Viewing it on a wide-screen monitor, I thought perhaps it was designed for mobiles, so checked. Nope, font is still tiny, colour contrast is almost non-existent, and the content doesn't dynamically resize. From an accessibility POV this is rather alarming, from an ID POV it is not a great choice. Hope all the effort has gone into making the new release something spectacular.
Accessibility has never been a priority for Articulate, as evidenced by the many accessibility bugs that have been reported in this forum but have still not been fixed.
FYI Articulate - Here is a tool that will help you measure whether your colour contrast passes or fails in terms of accessibility standards:

I thought it was just me. Glad I'm not the only one who thought the gray was terrible. We must get back to higher contrast. It's interesting, there was an article I read not too long ago about this very issue (sorry, I can't recall the title). In any event, I'm looking forward to reading about where Articulate is headed. :)
My first thought was "that is a ridiculously unreadable graphic", and thought of a college professor of mine with poor eyesight (who nevertheless played tennis). Then I associated poor quality, lack of quality control, poor planning, expensive, etc. with the upcoming product. An easily readable, clear, effortless graphic would have produced a positive association with the upcoming product.
I didn't think "rediculously", but it was a challenge to read due to lack of color saturation or contrast++. I'm just not a fan of gray text in the main body. Perhaps a darker gray would be okay if the font is going to stay small.
Couldn't agree more with the general sentiment of this thread.
Now why is the quality of this infographic a big deal to me? One of the stats on the infographic is that 73% of course creators say it is difficult to make courses look good on all devices. Articulate claims to help us solve our challenges in the next version.
So it will be a huge shame if the next version does not make big strides towards helping us efficiently build mobile friendly courses- besides other areas of productivity enhancements. And yet, the first opportunity (this infographic) Articulate had to assure us that 'mobile friendliness' is very important to them, this is what they give us: an imagine that not only is not responsive, but is entirely useless on mobile screens, and barely legible on a 22 inch monitor....

Hopefully, this is just an honest mistake and not an indication of whats coming.
But of course, we dont even know when we will know. This product rollout strategy of 'extreme suspense' is really bad for our planning.
Sorry for the negative comments here, but I sincerely hope it will help someone at Articulate strengthen their case for changes to product mgmt and release mgmt.
I'm looking forward to seeing the feedback from Articulate. Such a shame to have such great information only to be lost on design of the graphic. I'd really love to share this with my team but alas, unless a clearer version can be created and made available?
