What is social media graphics?

Social media graphics are the static and lightly animated images designed for social platforms (posts, carousels, stories, covers and ads) sized and composed for how each platform displays content.

Social feeds are crowded and fast. Graphics need to communicate one idea in a glance, look consistent enough that followers recognise you, and be readable on a phone screen. A set of well-designed templates solves most of this: your posts look cohesive, production gets faster, and anyone on your team can create on-brand content.

Who is it for?

  • B2B and LinkedIn

    Carousels and data posts that share expertise.

  • E-commerce

    Product posts, launches and promotions.

  • Local businesses

    Menus, events and offers in a consistent style.

  • Teams posting in-house

    Templates that keep everyone on brand.

Why carousels work

Carousels let you teach, tell a story or compare options across several slides. The first slide works like a headline: it must earn the swipe. Each following slide delivers one point, and the last gives a clear takeaway or next step.

Because people spend more time with carousels and often save them for later, they're especially useful for educational and expert content on LinkedIn and Instagram. We design carousel templates with consistent structure so new ones are quick to produce.

Readable on a phone

  • Large, short headlines
  • High contrast between text and background
  • One idea per graphic
  • Important content away from edges and buttons
  • Logo present but not dominant

Templates your team will actually use

Templates only help if they're easy. We build a small set of formats that cover most of what you post (announcements, tips, quotes, products, events) with locked brand elements and clearly editable text and image areas.

We deliver them in the tool your team already uses, usually Canva or Figma, with a one-page guide showing which template to use when.

Planning graphics around content pillars

Most brands post a handful of recurring content types: tips, product features, customer stories, announcements, behind-the-scenes moments. Giving each type its own recognisable template helps followers know what they're looking at before they read.

We design a template family around your content pillars, sharing the same colours, type and logo position, with enough variation that the feed doesn't look repetitive.

Designing ads versus organic posts

Organic posts are seen mainly by followers who already know you; ads reach people who don't. Ad creatives need to communicate the offer and brand faster, often in the first glance, and are usually tested in several versions.

We design ad sets with variations of headline, image and layout so your ads manager can test them, and keep text concise because platforms show less of it in some placements.

Using real photos well

Graphics with real photos of your products, people and place usually feel more trustworthy than stock imagery. We crop, colour-correct and lay out your photos consistently, and give simple guidance for shooting new ones on a phone.

Where stock is needed, we use properly licensed images and avoid using them in ways that suggest they show your own team, clients or premises.

Keeping graphics consistent across a team

When several people post for a brand, the feed can drift quickly: new fonts appear, colours shift, logos move around. Templates with locked elements prevent most of this, and a simple review step catches the rest.

We include a one-page guide with do's and don'ts and examples of good posts, so new team members can follow the style from their first day.

Common mistakes to avoid

What we see go wrong most often, and how a good project avoids it.

  • Tiny text

    Text that's readable on a desktop is often unreadable on a phone.

  • Inconsistent styles

    Random designs make your feed look unprofessional.

  • Too much on one graphic

    Split complex ideas into a carousel.

  • Wrong sizes

    Cropped images cut off key content. Design for each format.
