E-learning is Most Important Meal of the Day #106

E-Learning Cereal Box Makeovers #106: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to design a cereal box with e-learning as the theme. Fortify your design with healthy superlatives, attention-grabbing bursts, and witty catchphrases.

You can create your cereal box in either portrait or landscape mode and can be based on a popular or fictional cereal brand. Your entry can be static or interactive. If you’re going with static, then the Oddest Course Title challenge will be a great place of inspiration.

The design techniques used to create cereal boxes are just like those used to design e-learning slides.
