Context you provide

• {{specific purpose}}: The focus of the training (e.g., new product launch, objection handling, closing techniques).
• {{brand guidelines}}: (Optional) Any existing brand colors, fonts, logos, or style preferences.

Instructions

2. Based on the audience and purpose, recommend a visual design approach: color palette, typography, layout style, and use of imagery.
3. Provide best practices for incorporating graphic design elements (e.g., icons, charts, infographics) to enhance comprehension and retention.
4. Suggest specific tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Express, Figma) and how to use them for the given type of material.
5. If brand guidelines are provided, ensure recommendations adhere to the brand identity.
6. Include a mockup description of one key slide or handout, with layout and visual hierarchy details.

Guardrails
