ARTTECHES NEXUS • GRAPHIC DESIGNING MASTERY

DAY 18
0:00 — INTRO
“Welcome to Day 18. Yesterday you mastered the single post. Today: the carousel — five swipeable slides, one story, and some of the highest engagement on Instagram and Facebook. You'll learn the storytelling arc, the one-template method, swipe hooks that keep thumbs moving, and the numbered export sequence. Let's build one.”

DAY 18
1:00 — SCREEN: paper plan
“Every carousel starts on paper — never in the software. I write my five-slide arc: Slide 1, the hook: '5 TEA MISTAKES You're Making.' Slide 2, the problem. Slides 3 and 4, the value — real tips. Slide 5, the CTA. Notice: the hook's only job is earning the swipe. I spend forty percent of my effort on slide 1.”
SCREEN CUE — Show the handwritten arc.

DAY 18
3:30 — SCREEN: building the template
“New document: 1080 by 1080, RGB. Cream gradient background. Eighty-pixel margin guides — nothing important crosses these. Bottom-left: logo. Bottom-right: a 'Swipe' pill. Top-right: '1/5'. This furniture will appear on every slide — it's what makes five designs feel like one.”
SCREEN CUE — Build the template live.

DAY 18
7:00 — SCREEN: hook slide design
“Now the hook slide — the loudest slide in the set. Huge bold headline: '5 TEA MISTAKES' — 'You're Making' underneath in orange. One simple vector teapot icon. Three-second test: can a stranger get the promise instantly? Yes. That's a hook.”
SCREEN CUE — Design slide 1.

DAY 18
10:00 — SCREEN: duplicating pages
“Here's the pro move: I do NOT design four more slides from scratch. Object Manager, Pages, right-click, Duplicate Page — four times. Five identical pages. Now I just swap content: slide 2 gets 'MISTAKE #1' and the kettle icon… slide 3, 'MISTAKE #2'… the template — fonts, margins, furniture — never changes. Only content changes.”
SCREEN CUE — Duplicate pages; fill slides 2–4 live (time-lapse friendly).

DAY 18
15:00 — SCREEN: CTA slide
“Slide 5 — the payoff. Deeper orange background: this slide should feel like an arrival. 'BREW IT RIGHT' — 'Visit Cuppa Joy this week.' One CTA button: 'FIND YOUR TEA'. Notice what's gone: the Swipe pill — there's nothing left to swipe to. And the logo gets bigger. End with one clear action, always.”
SCREEN CUE — Design slide 5.

DAY 18
18:00 — SCREEN: flip-through + export
“Flip-through check: one, two, three, four, five — same fonts, same margins, numbers sequential, hooks on slides one through four. Now export: Control+E, PNG, 1080 square — and name them with zero-padded numbers: dash-01 through dash-05. Sorted by name, they upload in perfect story order. Save the CDR with all five pages.”
SCREEN CUE — Flip through; export the sequence; show the sorted folder.

DAY 18
21:30 — WRAP-UP
“Recap: plan the arc on paper — hook, problem, value, value, CTA. Build one template, duplicate pages, swap content. One idea per slide. Swipe hooks everywhere: pills, numbering, forward-pull phrases. Numbered PNG exports, zero-padded. Your assignment: a five-slide carousel for Cuppa Joy's Evening Chai Club. Tomorrow: YouTube — thumbnails that get clicked and banners that frame a channel. See you on Day 19.”
SCREEN CUE — Title card with assignment summary.
