This is how I learned to explain ideas visually (in one weekend) ✨

Have you ever wondered how I learned to make all these visuals that I share on every newsletter edition? For instance, below you can see the visual included on my newsletter edition “Journey VS. Destination”:

The credit fully goes to Janis Ozolins. He is a freelance Visual Creator, and some of his clients are Naval Ravikant, Steven Bartlett (host of The Diary Of A CEO), Darmesh Shah (founder of HubSpot) and Matt D’Avella (Netflix filmmaker). Janis also runs the Course & Community “Explain Ideas Visually”.

I wanted to learn how to make visuals that could effectively convey ideas, as 2/3 of the population are “visual learners”—they understand better with visuals, as opposed to pure text. So when I found out that Janis was running a course for exactly this purpose (the purpose of expressing ideas visually) I enrolled in the course right away! (back in July 2023).

In just one weekend, I absorbed all Janis’s years of experience:

• I learned the technical know-how to produce the visuals on Figma (software program for designing). I didn’t have any experience in Design (or using Figma), but luckily it was not needed at all!

• I learned the principles of how to effectively explain ideas through visuals, and Design principles specific for that purpose. This knowledge stems from the unique experience of Janis, so I couldn’t have learned it anywhere else.

This was my first visual after taking the course (which I published on Twitter):

Jani’s Course & Community has completely changed the way I create visuals, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to:

• Communicate her ideas much more clearly.

• Become a Visual Creator and earn an extra income as freelancer.

• Grow an Audience on Social Media by sharing great visuals that communicate great ideas.
