How I came up with this lesson
The tools and strategies I share are based on my two years of illustrating ideas to amplify, magnify and intensify the impact of ideas for my clients and audience on social media.
My global clients include businesses in finance, marketing, healthcare and personal development, from UK, US, South Africa, Germany and Singapore.
Clients have used my visuals for their investor pitch decks, social media marketing, premium newsletters and paid ads. My audience across social media includes 100,000 followers on Instagram, 4,300 on LinkedIn and 11,500 on Twitter.
I've personally used the methods featured in this Skill Session to illustrate and communicate ideas in a way that resonates with people.
The skills here allow you to illustrate ideas for every niche and can help you amplify, magnify and intensify the impact of your ideas.

What people say about my skill sessions
I did (the course) in the morning and in the afternoon I was doing the illustration. Your course is 9.9/10. Im thinking about that 0.1 that could help you with some feedback but so far is perfect.
— Dr. Francisco B., Dentist and Founder
Love it, especially the simplicity of the principles and tools you presented, and your own story starting on this journey is encouraging to those us of wanting to start but without the confidence or handles.
Your workshop and sharing is helping me think more intentionally now, as well as given me handles to step forward more confidently.
— Tim W., Community Leader
The session gave me what I expected, which is inspiration and the methods how to start. Furthermore I liked your open minded and positive type!
I work in product marketing for an industrial product. My plan is to visualize complex information in a way that you do. If one single picture can deliver my message within a few seconds, maybe it can replace animation or video in some cases.
— Semper M., Product Marketer
I was reading a book on the plane and I had a pen and paper next to me to start with a first very basic draft of what I want to illustrate. It's when and ONLY when you put pen to paper that ideas start flowing. I love this creative process!
Your workshop really inspired me, thanks for this😃
— Karolina C., Professional Coach
I had the issue of remembering the things read, and never thought of remembering them in images. after following Jun Han's work for a period of time, i was surprised that i was able to remember some of them and the message they carry! It's a good skill to have, be it to help yourself remember things better, work presentations, or be like Jun Han to build your own side hustle around your passion niche! Images really do tell a thousand words.

Questions
-
Not at all! This course is meant for people with no art and design background.
It's how I started, and I know what it's like to be an artist without an innate talent to draw.
My goal is to make artists out of people who have zero confidence in drawing with a pencil or paintbrush.

You'll need to have a laptop or desktop computer to use Figma (Windows or Mac).
You can't illustrate on Figma on your phone or tablets.
-
No. Just come and watch, and you'll be able to put the techniques to practice after the session.
There will not be any hands-on activities so feel free to have some tea or popcorn.
All you need to do is watch how I do it, and you'll be able to do it on your own after the class. And you will always have the recording to review anything you've forgotten.
-
No. This session is entirely digital. No pen or paper required.
The beauty of illustrating ideas using Figma is that you can have absolutely no talent in physical drawing and still be able to produce simple and elegant pictures to explain your ideas.
-
This session is focused on showing you how to use Figma.
You'll see how I think when I illustrate examples, but I will not be going through the strategies of visual communication in detail in this session.
You can visit the Picture Perfect Presentations skill session to learn how to illustrate your ideas using simple graphs.
For more in-depth visual communication strategies, stay tuned for future skill sessions or check out the Illustrate Impactful Ideas course.

Not directly. Figma is a vector programme and has some similarities to tools like Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer, but they'll have their own layouts, shortcuts and ways of using.
The transferrable part is the way I think about turning ideas into pictures.
