Setting a theme for VideoScribe for your browser

Check out this article for the best practices when it comes to setting a theme for your project.

Setting a design theme for your project will make your video stand out. 

Professional videos have a unified look and feel, and that can come down to choosing cohesive images, colors, and designs for your project. 

You will want to focus on these components when setting a theme for your project in VideoScribe:

1. Backgrounds
   Backgrounds have a massive visual impact. The default white background is great for classic whiteboard videos. But to create videos in a different style you can use photos, patterns, shapes, images, and colors to make your background stand out.

2. Hands
   Choose a hand, no hand, or writing utensil based on your video. Consider your audience and your narrator when making a choice.

3. Fonts
   If you’re including written content, keep in mind your audience, your brand and the message of your story when choosing a font.

4. Images
   Consistency is key when choosing an image style. VideoScribe has many image options, from stick figures to stylized figures to icons. Be sure that your image choice works with the above components.

5. Colors
   Make sure the colors in your video support your message. When making a video, focus on emotive, complementary, and contrasting colors. 
6. Layout
   There are many layout options, but again, consistency is important. Using set positions for components, such as titles and repeating images makes it much easier for your audience to stay focused on your content without distractions.
