Diane did a great job. Some resources that I highly recommend on this topic are:
-Using LibGuides to Enhance Library Services: https://www.amazon.com/LibGuides-Enhance-Services-Editions-Paperback/dp/B00E2RHK2S/
-Non Designer's Design Book: https://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-4th/dp/0133966151/
-Cognitive Load Theory and Library Research Guides: https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/drakepubs/9/

Thanks, @khoskins .
Williams, R. (2015). The non-designer’s design book: Design and typographic principles for the visual novice. Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press is a great resource when developing print materials. Another great resource for developing infographics is White Space is Not Your Enemy: A Beginners Guide to Communicating Visually Through Graphic, Web & Multimedia Design.

Video platform I used for the explainer videos in my presentation LibGuide , CRAAP Test and Journal Evaluation, was Animaker.
There are two different versions: https://www.animaker.com/ and https://tool.animaker.com/ and they also have a specific whiteboard / explainer site as well at https://www.animaker.com/whiteboard . One of the versions relies on flash, and most likely will not be available moving forward (alas, it's the one I most frequently use).

Several attendees asked about the time stamps in Google Drive & Ebsco Databases video shared during my presentation. You can add the time stamps in the youtube video description info area. I generally watch the video and pause at important sections, noting the video time. If you add the time in the info area, along with a description, it creates the jump link.
For example 0:30 title jump content
It's fairly easy with great benefits. Here are a couple slightly dated (2017) articles with more info: article 1 and article 2.

There were questions about polls on the Library Database and Welcome/Home pages. Both of these polls were LibGuide polls, not LibWizard items; only the guide feedback survey is a LibWizard item. Polls are an option when building guide content. I found this page in Springy Help that illustrates how it works: How to add, reuse, and edit poll assets.
