A course's potential to succeed depends on its image. It ought to pique viewers' interest and make clear to them the main points of the training. Your course image will be powerful and effective if you adhere to these basic rules.
One of the most frequent reasons a course is initially rejected within the Quality Review Process is course image violations. To prevent delays in the publication of the course, please make sure you comprehend the following guidelines.

Uniqueness: Each Thkee course needs to have a distinct image in order to prevent confusion. You cannot use the same image for more than one course.
Relevance: The viewer can infer the subject matter of the course from a well-designed course picture. Check to see if the picture corresponds with the course material.
Appropriateness: Pictures ought to be intended for a wide audience and should not contain any offensive or improper information, like Thkee's Restricted Topics.
Resolution: Clear, distortion-free, and non-pixelated images are ideal.
Simplify: Simplicity is one of the key components of a good course image. To improve comprehension, keep the amount of visual elements and information to a minimum. An excessive amount of distinctive aspects and visual detail will fight for the viewer's attention and lead to confusion.
Use of text
Text is generally not allowed on course images. Limited exceptions include logos or the course name, as long as they don’t interfere with the image or make the design confusing or blurry.
Logos and Custom Branding:
You are free to incorporate the John Smith, Inc. logo into your course graphics. Verify that your logo is within the content-safe region, readable, consistent with your brand, and has enough negative space. Don't include any letterboxing, strokes, borders, or frames.
Make sure all of the material in your course complies with Section 6 of the Instructor Terms before using someone else's brand (Apple, Microsoft, etc.). You should also speak with your attorney about this.

(a) You are responsible for all of Your Submitted Content;

Additional suggested image guidelines
Image color model: Since the CMYK color mode is intended for use on computer displays and other electronic devices, we advise choosing the RGB color model when developing your course graphic.
Use of illustration: Illustrations should not be intricate or cartoony, but rather iconic and fundamental.
Foreground & background: Instead of just repeating the course material, employ backdrop pictures or patterns only when they improve or further the understanding of the subject.
Single point of focus: To captivate visitors include a main focal point in your photos.
Stock photography: Stock photos can give off an artificial, chilly, or unauthentic vibe. Make sure to utilize high-quality, realistic stock photos exclusively.
Color and contrast: Make use of colors that go well together and complement one another. Red and green, for example, are opposite colors that can clash and vibrate the eye. To ensure legibility, make sure there is sufficient contrast between the subject and background.
