# Course Media Plan

**Course:** Graphic Designing Mastery — ARTTECHES Nexus | **Instructor:** Ali Akbar Shah

> This is a **plan describing media to be designed**. It does not claim any image already exists. All artwork listed below still needs to be created by a designer.

## Brand Theme

All course media follows the ARTTECHES visual theme:
- **Colors:** premium orange (accent), white and off-white (backgrounds), black and charcoal (text, depth)
- **Style:** clean, modern, professional — bold headings, generous white space, flat design elements with subtle shadows
- **Typography:** one strong sans-serif family for headings, one readable sans-serif for body text (final font choices documented when designed)

## Media to Design

### 1. Course Cover — 1 image
- **Size:** 1920 × 1080 px (16:9)
- **Content:** course title "Graphic Designing Mastery", subtitle "Beginner to Pro with CorelDRAW in 30 Days", ARTTECHES branding, instructor name "Ali Akbar Shah", a CorelDRAW-style vector workspace visual (Bezier pen, shapes, color swatches).
- **Use:** repository landing page, course listing on artteches.com, social announcements.

### 2. Module Thumbnails — 9 images
- **Size:** 1280 × 720 px each (16:9)
- **Content:** one thumbnail per module, each showing the module number and title over a themed visual:
  1. Start Here / Course Overview
  2. M02 — Design Fundamentals (Days 01–04)
  3. M03 — Color and Typography (Days 05–07)
  4. M04 — CorelDRAW Mastery (Days 08–13)
  5. M05 — Logo and Vector Design (Days 14–16)
  6. M06 — Social Media Design (Days 17–20)
  7. M07 — Print Design (Days 21–23)
  8. M08 — Brand Identity Design (Days 24–26)
  9. M09 — Portfolio and Final Project (Days 27–30)
- **Use:** module listing pages, video lesson covers per module.

### 3. Lesson Thumbnails — 30 images
- **Size:** 1280 × 720 px each (16:9)
- **Content:** one per day (Day-01 … Day-30): day number, lesson title, small icon representing the topic (e.g. color wheel for Day 05, Bezier pen for Day 10, business card for Day 21). Consistent layout across all 30 so the series looks unified.
- **Use:** per-lesson video covers and lesson list pages.

### 4. Project Preview Images — 6 images
- **Size:** 1920 × 1080 px each (16:9)
- **Content:** one attractive preview per student project showing an example of the expected deliverable style:
  1. P01 — Logo Design (logo on mockup)
  2. P02 — Social Media Post (post in phone frame)
  3. P03 — Flyer Design (flyer mockup)
  4. P04 — Business Card (card mockup)
  5. P05 — Brand Identity (stationery set mockup)
  6. P06 — Final Portfolio (portfolio spread mockup)

## Design Notes for the Artist

- Keep text minimal on thumbnails — titles must stay readable at small sizes.
- Export final images as PNG (covers, previews) or high-quality JPG (thumbnails).
- Do not invent software prices, fake testimonials, or income claims on any image.
- All 46 images (1 + 9 + 30 + 6) must share the same orange/white/black/charcoal theme so the course looks like one brand.
