This doc defines how we should turn dense study material into compact visual assets.
It is not a gallery. It is a production brief for exam prep visuals.
Core goal
Make one visual answer one question.
If the idea needs five panels, split the topic, not the canvas.
Style lanes
Use one of these lanes per image, not all of them at once.
Zed lane
- Quiet, precise, engineered
- Light surfaces, cool neutrals, high spacing discipline
- Best for: textbook summaries, taxonomy maps, formal definitions
Raycast lane
- Dark, focused, command-driven
- Near-black void, strong contrast, sharp red or amber accents
- Best for: workflows, step sequences, exam traps, dense procedures
Arc lane
- Friendly, layered, slightly playful
- Soft gradients, approachable geometry, lighter energy
- Best for: overviews, study hubs, concept ladders, beginner-friendly explainers
Visual formats worth generating
- One-page weekly cover
- Concept map
- Procedure strip
- Comparison grid
- Spectrum chart
- Trap checklist
- Memory cue card
- Exam recap poster
- "What to do first" flowchart
- One-topic refresher board
Prompt pattern
Use this pattern when generating visuals:
- Subject
- Course and week
- Intended audience
- One key outcome
- One dominant visual lane
- One accent color
- What must be excluded
Example:
Maths I Week 6, signed area and FTC, first-time learner, one-page exam recap, Raycast lane, amber accent, exclude clutter, charts without labels, and decorative filler.Rules
- Do not cram multiple weeks into one image
- Do not make every image a card wall
- Do not use random icon soups
- Do not use gradients as decoration unless the lane needs them
- Do not make the text fight the art
- Keep the main claim readable in one second
Good image targets
- "What is this week about?"
- "What steps do I follow?"
- "What is the trap?"
- "What do I memorize?"
- "What do I compare?"
- "What is the shortest valid recall?"
Output conventions
- Put the course and week in the title
- Keep a short subtitle
- Add one line for the main takeaway
- If relevant, add a small "mistakes to avoid" block
- Save the visual idea as something reusable in later notes
