Challenge

Given the variety of personalities, backgrounds, and cultures in a workplace, employees need to effectively communicate with their clients while recognizing and respecting various communication styles.

Solution

An animation was created to introduce the concept that effective communication is a skill that can be learned, whereas direct communication is a style.

Results

This animation was created for a project to learn the Vyond tool.  I found it to be a very user-friendly tool that was easy to learn. 

My process

01

Plan

This project was created to learn the Vyond animation. After learning the basics with a free trial, I created a storyboard using a 30 second audio clip as the basis.

02

Design

With the professional audio clip I already had, I designed a prototype of the eLearning animation in Vyond’s free trial. I used IDOL courses’ branding colors and fonts. I then took screenshots so that the prototype could be quickly recreated.

03

Develop

I developed the Vyond animation, complete with syncing the audio and animations, following the detailed storyboard I had written. The final project was developed in 2.5 hours.
