Patterns and Textures in E-Learning RECAP #402: Challenge | Recap
Looking for a quick and easy way to add visual interest to your course design? Try using a subtle texture or pattern to your slide background.
Textures and patterns can give flat designs a sense of depth by making them feel realistic and tactile. They’re also a great way to give your course a visual voice that reinforces its content. Below you’ll find more than 40 examples showing how adding these simple design elements can transform the look and feel of slides.
