How do teachers design classroom infographics with Adobe Express? My workflow and tips
Hello everyone! I'm a math teacher, and I use Adobe Express to design classroom infographics for my students — visual, step-by-step resources that make abstract topics easier to grasp.
Here's the workflow that works best for me:
1. Start with one learning goal per infographic. If a topic needs more than a few steps, I split it into a series — students learn better from short, focused visuals.
2. Build a reusable template. I keep the same layout for each topic in a series: a clear title, numbered steps, and a small worked example at the bottom. Consistency helps students know exactly where to look.
3. Keep text short and let visuals do the work. For maths, that means showing each step of a procedure as its own numbered block, and using colour to highlight the part that changes from one step to the next.
4. Set typography and colour styles early. Picking two fonts and a small colour palette — and sticking to them — makes a whole series of infographics look cohesive without extra effort.
5. Test readability at a glance. I check my design at thumbnail size: if a student can't follow the steps in under a minute, I simplify.
One tip that made a big difference for me: designing for print and screen at the same time. I keep margins generous so the same infographic works as a projected slide and as a printed handout.
How do other teachers here approach classroom infographics? I'd love to hear what works in your subject — especially how you keep complex procedures visually simple.
