Common emitter amplifier design

I was trying to design an audio amplifier using the common emitter configuration. So I surfed the web for circuit. My calculations gave me an R1, R2,Rc and Re are respectively 4.7kohms, 1kohms, 56kohms and 12kohms. I don't know how to calculate the values of the coupling and bypass capacitor for the range of audio frequency. Please easy on me as am a beginner in electronics

You calculate the capacitors based on the the load (for the output capacitor) and the input impedance for the input capacitor. You want an RC filter with a corner lower than the lowest frequency you want to amplify. If you did the calculations, there should be a formula for the input impedance, which will depend on the biasing resistors, the emitter resistor and the beta of the transistor.

I cannot read your posted photo, when I click it, I get a very unreadable gran on gray enlargement.

audio frequency are between 20Hz-20kHz, is 20Hz my lower frequency? Again how will I calculate the output capacitor
