Task 1. Discussion:
📍Analyze different social media posts and answer the questions:
Why do some posts get more attention?”
What role do images, colors, and composition play in capturing attention?
Why do people engage more with posts that include visuals?
📍 Explore elements of an engaging post: composition, text overlays, colors.
Task 3.
Using information from the presentation analyze three different post designs and discuss which one is most effective and why.
Task 4.
If you can't find the image you need for your blog on the Internet, you can ask artificial intelligence to create it.
AI tools can help with:
Generating custom illustrations or backgrounds.
Turning text into visuals.
Creating comic-style characters and panels.
📍 Experiment with AI to create images for a given topic (e.g., “Morning Routine of a Blogger”).

Another visual element that can enhance your post is comics. You can create them online using various programs.
Comic structure:
Setup (introducing the situation).
Conflict (a problem or joke setup).
Punchline (funny or unexpected ending).

- draw, find or use AI-generated images.
- add text, speech bubbles, and humor.
📍Share your images and comics in a VK group or Telegram chat.
