We invite you to fill out the form and snag these free, easy-to-implement tools you can start using today to level up your Articulate Rise game. <\/span>These three templates\u2014built in FigJam, Illustrator, and Photoshop\u2014will give you the framework you need to elevate your Rise courses from start to finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking for tips on how to make the most of these Articulate Rise templates? We\u2019ve got you\u2014in this blog, we\u2019ll show you how to leverage external tools as well as tips and workarounds to push the limits of the authoring tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick overview of the three Articulate Rise 360 templates included in this download, why they\u2019re helpful, and how to use them to make your next eLearning course truly stand out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Moodboarding for Articulate Rise<\/span><\/h2>\n

Moodboards are an important part of the learning design process. Moodboarding helps you gather ideas and inspiration at the beginning of a project and challenges your team to think creatively. At Maestro, we build our moodboards to ideate and align on design elements like color palettes, fonts, image treatments, image styles, adjectives to aspire to, and layout ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By using <\/span>Figma\u2019s collaborative brainstorming tool, FigJam<\/span><\/a>, we ensure that everyone involved in the design of the learning experience is on the same page before diving into course development. Designers can also use moodboards as a reference to ensure they\u2019re staying on the same page throughout the design process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within this free download, you\u2019ll get a simple but comprehensive FigJam moodboard template ready to be customized by your learning design team. With space for inspiration, short prompts to get the creative juices flowing, and tips for making the most of your moodboard, this template will help you and your team collaboratively establish a visual guide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Using Photoshop to enhance course photos<\/span><\/h2>\n

By intentionally adjusting the images in your Articulate Rise training, you can better support the content, brand, and visual identity of the learning experience, demonstrating that time and care have been taken to craft your course. It\u2019s that much easier to earn learner buy-in when a course looks and performs beautifully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Rise\u2019s built-in photo editor is limited. That\u2019s why our go-to tool for image enhancement is Adobe Photoshop. Not only can you crop, adjust colors, and combine photo, text, and illustration elements in Photoshop, you can also create simple gifs and much more. By using Photoshop, you can take a simple stock image and turn it into a beautiful, cohesive component of your eLearning course. Nearly every Rise training we\u2019ve designed has been improved by Photoshop\u2019s capabilities. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Psst! If you\u2019re new to Photoshop, <\/span>this brief outline of photo-editing tools<\/span><\/a> is a great place to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Transitions in Rise<\/span><\/h2>\n

Transitions are visual cues that let the learner know they\u2019re moving from one concept to another. They\u2019re important\u2014especially in scrolling experiences\u2014because they divide the material into digestible pieces. But often when creating a transition in Rise, you\u2019re limited to the standard, horizontal banding look that results from simply changing the background color of the different sections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Maestro, we love pushing the limits of Articulate Rise, and making transitions is no exception. We\u2019ve discovered ways to custom design transitions that are unique and more relevant to the content by adding bespoke graphic elements that we develop in Adobe Illustrator\u2014and now you can too!<\/span><\/p>\n
