Intentional Multi-Card Story Arc
Sequence every carousel deliberately: Card 1 establishes the problem or visual hook, middle cards prove process and craft, and the final card presents one clear offer.

Editorial Carousel Ad Design: Typography, Grid & Visual Flow
Replace cluttered promotional flyers with calm, structured 4:5 editorial carousel ads built on authentic photography, disciplined whitespace, and clear visual progression.
Local audiences scroll right past loud neon discount templates because cramped fonts, fake badges, and generic stock photos signal low quality before anyone reads a single line. In this course, we design cohesive 4:5 carousel systems in Figma or Photoshop around an intentional multi-card story arc (from opening problem or visual hook through proof and process to a clear offer), restrained typography, generous whitespace, and clean English or Persian hierarchy for Greater Toronto Area campaigns.

Course Learning Pillars
Core Capabilities Developed in This Course
Every learner starts from a different background. These are the core capabilities this course develops, paced to your goals across the sessions we plan together.
Typographic Restraint & Generous Whitespace
Use calm neutral surfaces, crisp 1px dividers, strict two-weight font discipline, and wide margins instead of loud gradients and crowded flyer boxes.
Authentic Photography Over Stock Clichés
Pair editorial type with real studio, product, workspace, or client photography and use cross-seam visual continuity that naturally invites swiping.
Bilingual EN/FA Hierarchy & Master System
Balance left-to-right English and right-to-left Persian optical type scales inside a reusable Figma or Photoshop multi-artboard template.
Course Syllabus
Core Concepts & Topics Covered
Below are the main concepts and topics covered in this course. In your Free Online Intro Session, we align the exact depth and number of sessions to your experience and goals.
Topic 01
Editorial 4:5 Grid Anatomy, Margins & Visual Restraint
Setting up a clean 1080x1350 continuous multi-slide grid that commands vertical feed screen space without feeling cramped.
- Building a continuous multi-artboard canvas with consistent outer margins, baseline rhythm, and feed preview safe zones
- Choosing warm light or deep contrast surface palettes paired with subtle hairline rules and one controlled accent tone
- Restricting typography to two deliberate weights so headlines, metadata pills, and numbers scan cleanly on small screens
Topic 02
Carousel Storytelling Arc & Cross-Slide Visual Flow
Mapping what each card says and shows so prospects swipe with curiosity and arrive at the link click already informed.
- Structuring Card 1 around one unmistakable buyer problem or outcome statement plus a clear GTA niche or pricing cue
- Using middle cards to show concrete deliverables, real before-and-after craft, or a clear three-step onboarding process
- Extending photography crops or directional layout elements across card seams and closing with a friction-free final CTA
Topic 03
Authentic Photo Curation & Bilingual EN/FA Typography
Integrating real documentary-style business imagery and solving bidirectional typography details for Toronto's bilingual market.
- Selecting, cropping, and color-balancing authentic team, studio, or product photographs instead of staged stock clichés
- Tuning optical font scale, line height, and kerning across left-to-right English fonts and right-to-left Persian Anjoman layouts
- Isolating English brand terms, dimensions, and CAD pricing cleanly inside Persian slides without scrambling punctuation
Topic 04
Reusable Master Systems, Slice Export & Hook Testing
Turning a single strong carousel into a repeatable studio design system capable of producing clean ad variants without starting over.
- Organizing Figma auto-layout components or Photoshop smart-object grids so text and imagery swap cleanly across campaigns
- Exporting lossless sRGB PNG slices that resist Meta feed compression blur as well as PDF carousels for LinkedIn
- Creating three distinct Card 1 visual openings (light editorial, dark slate, full-bleed photo) for structured CTR testing

Program FAQ
Common Questions
Should I build my carousel templates in Figma or Adobe Photoshop during this course, and do I need prior graphic design training?
You do not need formal graphic design training; editorial carousels rely on clean grid proportions and restraint instead of complex visual effects. Figma's free version is fast for multi-slide text and layout systems, while Photoshop suits workflows with heavy photo retouching. In your Free Online Intro Session, we choose the right tool for your setup and plan the sessions you need.
How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?
Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.
Do I have to commit to a multi-session package, or can I get just the PDF guide?
There is zero upfront package commitment: live sessions are booked flexibly session-by-session ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person). If you prefer a self-paced written guide instead of live coaching, a standalone $39 CAD PDF option can also be requested for this topic.
Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?
Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
