Design for social posts is the ultimate combination of marketing, design, photography, and animation skills. And there is no wonder – it’s aimed to leave a solid impression on your prospects.
When working on graphics for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest, I count in multiple factors:
- How they are going to live in the existing grid or storyline (and if there were any repeats)
- How my graphic is going to fit this brand’s goals
- If it’s engaging enough for a user to take action
- What are the requirements and features of each platform
- What are the internal project limitations: deadlines, product availability, etc
Social media graphics can be photography, video, or illustration of my production or curated stock photo that fits that brand’s aesthetics. To keep brand media diverse, I look at the social strategy as a whole and build a plan, so visual content always looks fresh and attractive.
Being a visual platform, Instagram takes a special place in this planning. Not only your posts should be attractive in a user’s feed on their own, but they should also look stunning together in a brand’s profile grid. I achieve it with advanced planning.
Here arу some of the examples of designs I completed for clients’ Instagram and Facebook feeds and stories:
