Welcome to another episode of the JuvoHub podcast! I’m your host, Jonathan Saar, and today we’re diving into a topic that impacts every course creator, trainer, and educator: visual design and composition in your content.
Whether you’re building asynchronous courses or leading live training sessions, your design choices make or break the learning experience. Visuals matter—not just for aesthetics, but to help students absorb and retain information. If you’ve ever defaulted to a pre-made template or added text to a slide just to “get it done,” you’re not alone—but it’s time to level up. We’ll talk about how to revisit your current presentations and courses, look for ways to simplify and improve them, and understand how cohesive design choices like color palettes and slide consistency can reduce cognitive overload.
This episode will help you evaluate what you’ve already created and inspire you to make your content clearer, simpler, and more effective for your students. Let’s build a learning experience that truly sticks.

Keep It Simple, Make It Stick
So there’s your design challenge: revisit your old content and give it a refresh with clarity and consistency in mind. Use white space wisely and avoid visual clutter—simplicity dramatically improves student focus and retention. Think about how your visuals can support—not distract from—your teaching goals. As you look at your slides, make sure the overall look aligns with your brand and other online content, because students notice when the visual tone shifts and it can affect how they process information.
We’re all here to grow, learn, and support each other. I’d love to hear your own best practices, so drop your tips on JuvoHub.com or connect with me directly. Until next time, stay inspired and keep designing with intention.
