Images & Art Pipelines

Let’s make your game look as good as it plays—without blowing the asset budget. These pipelines keep art creation fun, fast, and inclusive.

Plan Your Visual Style

• Pick a simple palette that works in high contrast.
• Decide on a consistent character or icon style.
• Sketch rough screens before generating or drawing assets.

Create Assets

• Use tools like Canva, PLACEHOLDER AI image generator, or hand-drawn scans.
• Generate multiple variants, then pick the clearest, most readable version.
• Export at 1x or 2x resolution depending on your layout.

Optimise for the Web

• Convert to WebP or compressed PNG to save space.
• Name files with lowercase hyphens (data-bot.png).
• Store everything in /assets/images for tidy organisation.

Accessibility Touchpoints

• Add descriptive alt text and consider dyslexia-friendly fonts.
• Avoid flashing or high-speed animations that could trigger discomfort.
• Provide a static alternative if you include animated GIFs.

Collaboration Tips

• Keep a shared mood board in PLACEHOLDER doc for reference.
• Log asset credits and licences as you go.
• Ask mentors for quick feedback on clarity, contrast, or layout.

Your visuals should amplify the learning experience—keep them bold, inclusive, and on-theme.
