Brand standards are sometimes seen as a frustrating limitation. But as this portfolio by Mat King shows, a more limited set of colors, fonts, and design choices doesn’t have to lead to dull-looking e-learning. In fact, those guidelines have the potential to help your project look pulled together while still leaving lots of room for creative choices.

Shared at DevLearn’s 2023 DemoFest, this Rise 360 project showcases the new technologies and design capabilities Mat and his team have used in their projects. The collection of images, interactions, and videos make it easy to see how branding guidelines apply to different mediums. They also demonstrate eye-catching ways to push the envelope within those rules. And by collecting these examples in a similarly branded Rise 360 course, course creators have a one-stop shop for ideas and inspiration!

  • Love this, Matt! Super inspiring. The only issue for me is that I came from the education side of this business and my graphic design skills need improvement. I wish I could use Adobe Suite much better than I do now...
  • Great design. Thank you for reminding me that you can incorporate interactive elements into Rise to make it more engaging. I forget sometimes!
  • Hi, I love this example. Rise is my favorite! I have been considering creating my own portfolio and worry about using samples from the courses that I have created, because of the company logo. Do you have any advice?

      Hi Amanda. I created mine for WM to show clients what is possible. I changed most of the text to lorem ipsum to avoid showing any proprietary information. Hope this helps!

      Hi Amanda. Adding on to what Mat said, I've seen a lot of people make adapted versions of courses for their portfolios that change or strip out any proprietary or confidential company information.

      I think lots of hiring managers recognize that we can't always show off all our work because of company privacy. And adapted courses that sidestep privacy problems but still show off your eLearning design and development skills will usually still give them the information they need to get a sense of your fit for their team.

    How did you determine the resolution size of the video, Mat? And what's the aspect ratio did you use?

      It takes a little trial and error to find the best size. My video sizes are 1920x1080. The animated gif banners are 1920x650.
  • Hi, would it be possible to make the download version available for the storyline template you have in the course? This would be super useful, it looks great 

  • Yes, it would be cool to have the RISE file to download to just pull it apart and see what's possible.  I don't know the name of some of the techniques used to make it more interactive, but would sure like to learn and use them!

    Hi Mat,

    I see you have used storyline block in the module - Guided Walkthrough Demo. 

    what resolution did you keep for storyline, I have a black patch on left and right side of the screen when using the storyline block in rise. How did you use it as full screen?

  • Really Really like this - it is inspiring me to try and have a go at something a bit more exciting :)
    Is this project shared anywhere as a template?
    regards :)
