Figma
Clear & Intuitive Layout
I created a structured layout with a strong visual hierarchy to guide the reader’s eye. Well-spaced subheadings were used to enhance readability and make the flyer easy to scan.
Visual Theme Alignment
To reflect the focus of the study, I featured an image of a VR headset. A warm orange gradient was used to convey energy and draw attention to the participation incentive, creating visual contrast and interest.
Accessibility & Readability
I chose high-contrast colors and modern, legible fonts to improve readability. The text was carefully spaced to maintain clarity and avoid overwhelming the viewer.
Seamless Registration & Engagement
A prominently placed QR code made it quick and easy for participants to sign up, encouraging immediate engagement.
Consistent & Professional Aesthetic
By using a cohesive color scheme, a grid-based structure, and applying core UX principles, I achieved a polished and professional print design that felt both inviting and informative.
