The clip-art problem
Students are paying attention. The slides still look like 2014.
The slide deck is Times New Roman over a tan background. Worksheets have clip-art borders. The course-module thumbnails on Canvas/Blackboard/Google Classroom are screenshots of slides. The supplemental PDF is whatever you grabbed from Pinterest at 11 PM. You see what other teachers are sharing on TPT and Instagram and notice: their materials look *finished*. Yours look like Word docs.
You don't have a designer. The school doesn't fund design. The TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers) marketplace has decent-looking templates, but they're the same templates 5,000 other teachers downloaded. The materials you make yourself in Canva look like Canva.
Pick an artist. Their voice carries every slide deck, worksheet, course thumbnail, and supplemental PDF. One direction across every material your students see.
Why it fits educators
Built for the curriculum, not just a one-off slide.
Curriculum-wide visual identity
Slide art, worksheets, course thumbnails, supplemental PDFs. Same artist across every material. Students recognize 'this teacher's class' across the year.
Per-subject illustration
History units get a different visual hand than chemistry units. Same teacher, subject-appropriate voice. The materials feel like they were designed for the subject.
Priced for individual teachers
Free tier covers small-volume use including a teacher's slide deck. Pro covers a curriculum. Volume covers schools, districts, and courseware companies.
School-friendly licensing
Full commercial license — including TPT marketplace sales, school-wide use, district-wide use, courseware embedding. No per-classroom royalties.
The math for educators
What materials cost. What students remember.
| Approach | Cost | Time per material | Distinctiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free clip-art (Pinterest, classroom websites) | Free | Hours of scrolling | Generic — same clip-art every other teacher uses |
| TPT templates | $2–$15 per template | Hours of customization | Same as 5,000 other teachers |
| DIY in Canva | Free–$15/mo | Hours per slide deck | Looks like Canva |
| OKSLOP at educator tier | Free tier covers small-volume; Pro covers curriculum | Minutes per asset | Curated by an agent, distinct artist voices |
Costs are rough market ranges, not quotes. Free tier covers individual teachers. Pro tier covers a curriculum. Volume covers schools and districts.
