# Day-22 — Practical Exercise: A5 Flyer for a Coaching Center

**Time:** 45 minutes (guided) | **Client:** fictional — "BrightPath Academy"

## Brief
**BrightPath Academy** (fictional) opens new admissions for Matric & FSc
tuition. Offer: "First Month Free". Feel: energetic, trustworthy, academic.
Colors: deep blue + bright yellow accent + white.

## Steps

1. **Setup (5 min):** New document, mm, page **154 × 216 mm**. Trim guide
   148 × 210 (red, centered P), safe guide 132 × 194 (blue, centered P). Lock
   guides on their own layer (Object Manager).
2. **Background (8 min):** Full-bleed deep blue (F11 → C:95 M:75 Y:20 K:10).
   Import a lawful classroom/study photo (your own or free-license from
   Unsplash/Pexels/Pixabay) across the top third, into the bleed; check
   **Bitmaps > Resample** = 300 dpi; add a 40% transparency blue overlay for
   readability.
3. **Hierarchy (20 min):**
   - Headline: "ADMISSIONS OPEN" — 60 pt bold white, centered on photo
   - Offer: "First Month FREE" — 30 pt bold yellow (C:0 M:15 Y:100 K:0)
   - Details (11 pt white, short lines): "Matric & FSc · All Subjects" /
     "Morning & Evening Batches" / "Main Road Campus"
   - CTA button: yellow rounded rectangle, blue 14 pt bold text: "Call to
     Enroll: +92 333 1112233" (fictional number)
   - Footer 8 pt: small logo + address line
4. **Align (5 min):** Object > Align and Distribute — center the vertical axis.
5. **Check + export (7 min):** Preflight self-check; **File > Publish to PDF**
   (PDF/X) → `GDM-D22-exercise-print.pdf`; **File > Export** JPG 300 dpi →
   `GDM-D22-exercise-digital.jpg`.

## Expected result
One A5 flyer with a 60 pt headline passing the 3-second test, one offer, one
CTA, correct bleed/safe zones, plus both export files.

**Stretch goal:** Duplicate the design onto an A3 portrait page (420 × 297 mm
+ bleed = 426 × 303 mm), enlarge the headline to 110 pt, cut details to two
lines — a wall poster version. Compare viewing distance needs.
