How long have you been a Studio user?
2 years!
What types of content are you creating in Studio?
All sorts – from reports and infographic modules to quizzes and breaking down complex topics in a way that’s easy to digest.
Where do you look for inspiration when working a project?
Ceros Inspire is a brilliant place to see what Studio is capable of. I always start there, but I also explore other websites to understand how they're built and see whether I can achieve similar results in Studio.
What are the first steps in your creative process when starting a Ceros project?
I start by understanding the purpose of the piece, who it’s for, what message it needs to convey, and what action I want the audience to take. From there, I sketch out a rough structure or wireframe, gather any existing assets, and explore visual inspiration to guide the design direction.
What is your favorite interaction or animation style to use in Studio?
I recently figured out how to create a looping marquee (thanks to Educate!). I’d been meaning to crack the interaction for a while, but finally had a project that needed it – so I had to learn. It’s really simple, but incredibly effective.
What advice would you give to a brand new Studio user?
Make use of Ceros Educate by signing up for their courses and monthly design challenges – I've learned a great deal from the Educate community.
