+# ASCII Media
+
+Two tools for text-based visual content: static ASCII art and animated ASCII video.
+
+## Section 1: ASCII Art
+
+Generate ASCII art using pyfiglet, cowsay, boxes, and image-to-ASCII conversion. Create text banners, fortune-style messages, and convert images to ASCII representations.
+
+**When to use:** Creating terminal-friendly visual content, text banners, decorative output, image-to-ASCII conversion.
+**See:** `references/ascii-art.md`.
+
+## Section 2: ASCII Video
+
+Convert video and audio to colored ASCII MP4/GIF. Frame-by-frame rendering with color support for terminal playback or embedding.
+
+**When to use:** Creating ASCII-encoded video content, converting media to terminal-friendly formats.
+**See:** `references/ascii-video.md`.
