Having created so much material about the high school to college journey, she decided to write a book that consolidated everything into a novel curriculum that she could sell to students and educators state-wide.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42259\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/01\/College-UnMazed-Case-Study-Plain-Quote-7.png\" alt=\"College UnMazed Case Study Plain Quote 7\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I formed my own business, College UnMazed, as a passion project to produce the book, and create more materials around the new curriculum, which was really exciting. But I was still frustrated by my design limitations. The book featured great information and parents really liked it, but you had to kind of slog through it, just like a lot of other academic books.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Amanda could see the world around her changing. Her audience were 21st century, digitally savvy media consumers. And they didn\u2019t want to trawl through pages of copy to find the information they needed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For the benefit of both my day job and side hustle, I wanted to find a way of having more design flexibility in the content I produced, so I could present information in a fun and engaging way that people would remember.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s when Amanda found Venngage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42245\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1.png\" alt=\"College Unmazed Case Study Feature Quote 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Solution<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Visual <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/communication-tools\/\">communication tool<\/a> Venngage enables Amanda to turn unengaging content into unmissable visuals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amanda heard about Venngage through a super-fan who worked at the school. The tool enables users to convey complex information, tell their stories, and share critical data through the form of engaging infographics.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda instantly loved the site\u2019s usability and functionality, where she could select designs from a library of more than 10,000 templates and use them to create accessible content in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>For her first foray into Venngage, she transformed previously verbose blog posts into digestible content packed with impactful designs, charts and infographics. With no design training, she was able to create pages that resembled those of a seasoned designer, using this simple process:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42227\" style=\"border: 2px solid #ddd;\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/01\/College_Unmazed_Case_Study_Process_Infographic.png\" alt=\"College_Unmazed_Case_Study_Process_Infographic\" height=\"3180\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the outcome?

Whether I needed visuals saved as png for social media, a pdf for a presentation, or any other file type, Venngage facilitated it with a few clicks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The entrepreneur then spotted an opportunity to apply Venngage to her side hustle\u2014and redesigned every one of its 125 pages using the platform. The goal was to convey her messaging using beautiful visuals rather than long paragraphs of text.<\/p>\n<p>Like every other use case, the design process for redeveloping the book was surprisingly straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>She revisited the content on each page of her book and established what data would work better as diagrams, charts, timelines, and other graphics.<\/p>\n<p>From there, it was as simple as finding templates, entering the relevant data, then saving the files and incorporating them into the book\u2019s design file. The whole process required zero expensive designer hours and zero extra cost.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42255\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/01\/College-UnMazed-Case-Study-Plain-Quote-5.png\" alt=\"College UnMazed Case Study Plain Quote 5\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Suddenly I felt like a design whizz.
