ARTTECHES NEXUS • GRAPHIC DESIGNING MASTERY

DAY 17
0:00 — INTRO
“Welcome to Day 17 — and to a brand-new module: Social Media Design. This is where designers earn their most frequent work: daily posts for real businesses. Today you'll learn the complete formula for a scroll-stopping Instagram and Facebook post: the right document setup, the headline-plus-visual-plus-CTA structure, brand consistency, and perfect export. Let's design one together.”

DAY 17
1:00 — SCREEN: new document dialog
“Setup first — get this wrong and everything downstream suffers. File, New. Units: pixels. Width 1080, height 1080. Color mode: RGB — screens speak RGB; CMYK is for print. This square is the native language of the Instagram and Facebook feed.”
SCREEN CUE — Create the document; show the size readout.

DAY 17
2:30 — SCREEN: background + guidelines
“Background: double-click the Rectangle Tool — instant full-page rectangle. F11, Fountain Fill — a warm cream-to-orange gradient for our tea shop. Now guidelines: drag from the rulers to 360 and 720 pixels — a rule-of-thirds grid. Great layouts are built on invisible structure.”
SCREEN CUE — Fill background, drag guidelines.

DAY 17
5:00 — SCREEN: headline
“The headline — three to seven words that stop the scroll. Text Tool: 'BUY 1 GET 1 FREE'. Bold, rounded, dark brown, huge. Center it with the Align docker. Read it at arm's length: instant, right? If your headline needs more than two seconds, rewrite it.”
SCREEN CUE — Set and center the headline.

DAY 17
7:30 — SCREEN: PowerClip demo
“The visual — one strong focal point, never a collage. I import a tea-cup photo, draw a circle, then Object, PowerClip, Place Inside Frame — click the circle. The photo sits perfectly inside. Right-click, Edit Contents to reposition. A soft drop shadow lifts it off the background. Depth in ten seconds.”
SCREEN CUE — PowerClip live, adjust, add shadow.

DAY 17
11:00 — SCREEN: support line + CTA button
“Support line — small, under eight words: 'This weekend only — all teas.' Now the CTA — the money element. Rounded rectangle, deep orange, white bold text: 'VISIT TODAY'. Center the text on the button with the Align docker. One CTA per post — always. Two CTAs means zero clicks.”
SCREEN CUE — Build the button; group it.

DAY 17
14:30 — SCREEN: brand mark + review at 100%
“Small brand mark in the corner — quiet, not competing. Now the honesty check: View, Zoom, one hundred percent — actual pixels. Squint test: does the headline pop? Three-second test: show it to someone — can they repeat the offer and the action? Mine passes.”
SCREEN CUE — Zoom to 100%, review.

DAY 17
17:00 — SCREEN: export dialog
“Export: Control+E, PNG, RGB, 1080 by 1080. Name it properly: brand, topic, format. Open the PNG — exactly 1080 square, text razor sharp. That's a finished, client-ready post.”
SCREEN CUE — Export and verify the file.

DAY 17
19:00 — SCREEN: recap slide
“Recap the formula: 1080-by-1080 RGB setup. Headline — three to seven words. One strong visual. One CTA button. Brand colors, max two fonts. White space is your friend. Export PNG at full size. Your assignment: two original Cuppa Joy posts — a flavor launch and a loyalty offer — related but not identical. Tomorrow: carousels — turning one post into a five-slide story that keeps people swiping. See you on Day 18.”
SCREEN CUE — Title card with assignment summary.
