Mike Morrison – His Vyond video has inspired many teachers

His Vyond video has inspired many teachers and students to use “their” clear, minimalist poster design for conferences. The positive impact of Morrison poster design offers an important lesson: critical thinking about how we share information has the potential to change the world. Morrison’s poster design has attracted so much attention online and at conferences that even NPR and Forbes have written stories about “their” video. The minimalist design of Morrison’s posters attracted teachers and students, and they shared the video a lot. For example, at the beginning of the video I spend a lot of time telling jokes about poster sessions to highlight the emotions people feel about traditional posters. Why not minimize and reposition the text on a billboard to help viewers absorb the information? Developed a new poster design to help conference participants learn about studies at a glance. We met him to learn more about how design can influence learning and how he used Vyond to create the viral video. Here’s the problem Morrison discovered: most of the scientific posters at these conferences have an overloaded and consistent design, making it difficult for participants who pass through them to learn the presentations. For example, instead of just describing the experience of seeing posters at a conference, I created a simulation for the video that shows viewers what it’s like to pass in front of posters at these events. So I changed all my backgrounds in Vyond to green, like a green screen, downloaded my Vyond video, dragged it into Adobe After Effects, and replaced the green background with my own graphics and animations. And, as Morrison expected, his poster design helps doctors keep up with the latest research in their field. To share this idea, Morrison used Vyond to create an animated video about redesigning scientific posters. Several of these people described how the poster design led to a better conference experience. Most people don’t realize that there are tools like Vyond and will think you have more experience than you actually have and that your video is nicer than you think. Even if you don’t have design skills, you can animate a video in five minutes. Morrison is an expert in psychology and design and has many valuable ideas about using images for knowledge transfer.
