Start with the lesson map

The capstone is to create a complete image set for one short course or tutorial. Do not start by generating ten random images. Start by listing the lessons and asking where visuals genuinely help.

For each lesson, choose one of four roles:

• Cover: sells the course promise.
• Concept: explains an abstract idea.
• Workflow: shows a repeatable process.
• Checkpoint: helps learners review or remember.

Not every lesson needs an image. The best course might have one cover, three diagrams, and two workflow visuals — not a picture after every paragraph.

Planning table

Lesson | Image role | Teaching purpose | Asset type | Prompt status | Review status
Intro | Cover | Signal beginner-friendly workflow | 16:9 cover | drafted | pending
Briefs | Workflow | Show brief-to-prompt process | diagram | drafted | pending
Iteration | Checkpoint | Show review checklist | lesson visual | drafted | pending

Image generation brief

Asset: Image set planning board Prompt: Create a clean planning-board illustration for an educational course image set. Show lesson cards arranged in columns labeled Cover, Concept, Workflow, and Checkpoint, with small thumbnail placeholders and checkmarks. Modern monochrome educational style with tonal contrast for emphasis, no dense text, no logos, no watermark. Alt text: A planning board organizes course lesson visuals by cover, concept, workflow, and checkpoint roles.

Try this: Pick a three-lesson tutorial and decide which single image would help the most. Generate that one first.
