This study analyses the current instructional media design for primary education in Thailand within the framework of cognitive load theory and graphic design theory. The aim is to understand how graphic design principles can contribute to quality learning based on the interrelationship among intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load and their roles in the functioning of working memory and long-term memory. The study highlights the notion of gamification as a major variable that set the stage for student’s perception hence making it harder to get messages across. The study concludes that customised media logic and graphic design principles can be used to lessen the cognitive load in order to allow for subject matters to flow more smoothly and induce natural learning experience.
