Cover Image Description

This custom illustration was selected for my Rise 360 course cover to visually represent the course’s focus on goal setting, progress tracking, and learner engagement. It features a learner checking off tasks on a whiteboard with a target icon, symbolizing achievement, alongside icons for knowledge (open book) and completion (checklist). The clean, minimal style and muted color palette create a professional yet approachable look, making it ideal for an eLearning environment.
