Customer engagement concepts have been constantly evolving. The surest way to have your customers’ attention is with the help of an eye-catching image. Studios make their movie posters impressive, and ad agencies create attention-grabbing ads. These designs guide businesses toward the intended audience. They work not only for social media but also for all areas of digital marketing.
When it comes to the best types of social media designs, it is the one that communicates the underlying motive and not the one that just hooks up with the current trends. However, there are some basic design principles that you can follow to develop impressive visual content for social media.
Legibility
Perhaps the most important principle of good design is the most obvious one: make sure the text is easy to read. Don’t overdo it with fancy typefaces that might look pretty, but ultimately will lessen legibility.
Hierarchy
Visual hierarchy is the use of stylistic elements like colour, type size, and positioning to convey the relative importance of information on a page. This simply means that the text or elements of higher importance are usually bigger than the rest, and stands out in the design.
Colour
Colour is an invaluable tool for creating contrast and balance. But it is important to be aware of how certain hues or pairings influence perception. Some colours such as those in the red and yellow families can stimulate and energize, while others such as those in the blue spectrum can convey calm and trustworthiness.
Typography
Much like colour, typography conveys mood and tone, sometimes more powerfully than the copy itself. When choosing a font, think about the desired tone of your words.
Context
Distribution may come at the end of your content workflow, but it is important to be thinking about where your visuals will live every step of the way so that you can tailor your graphics to the sizes and preferences of the respective social media platforms.
The fundamental building block of a brand is consistency. It takes five to seven impressions for people to begin to identify with your brand. This means that repetition of key brand ingredients — logo, colours and typeface — is essential. If your graphics look and feel cohesive and related, then users can form a clearer association of your brand in their minds.
Authenticity and Efficiency
Show your differences and uniqueness from fellow competitors first hand. Your designs should be unique and in sync with the requirements of the website or brand that you are designing for. Authentic designs are always appreciated!
If you are an absolute beginner to designing, Canva and Adobe Spark are great tools to start with. However, if you intend to be a professional graphic designer, it is important for you to join a career course in visual content development, and gain the skills set that the companies are looking for.
You might have witnessed a lot of creative book covers, inspiring illustrations, and interactive posters in your day-to-day life. All these, collectively, are graphic designs. In other words, any form of communication that uses graphics or drawing is called graphic design and can be created by a graphic designer. Letters, colour, patterns, illustrations, photographs, information: graphic designers play around with all of these and create attractive and innovative visual designs.
Every industry today requires a graphic designer to create their corporate logos, product packaging, digital interfaces and other forms of visual communication. Graphic designers are required in the advertising industry, print as well as digital media companies, IT companies, FMCG brands, financial industries, and many other similar sectors.
Graphic designing courses are available for those who are interested to be a part of this fast-growing industry and meet the increasing demand for trained professionals. But even before you join a graphic designing training institute, it would be of help to know a little more about the various must-have skills of graphic designing.
Creativity
This might seem obvious: creativity. Every discipline where you need to create something new requires some sort of creativity. However, creativity is often misunderstood and is even considered as an ability to draw, paint or sculpt. To become a graphic designer, what you need is a creative mindset. This will enable you to master almost every stage of the design process: from coming up with innovative ideas to developing and designing new concepts.
Understanding of Typography
This is the making of various typefaces, with complete knowledge of point size, tracking (the space between all characters used), kerning (the space between two specific characters), and leading (line spacing). Typography skills are a fundamental part of any graphic designer’s skills set list.
Familiarity with Page Layout Creation
Page layout is all about the look and feel of a printed page. This includes aesthetic alignment of images, text and the agreed style-sheet on a page.
Knowledge of Interface Designing
Today, with the increasing use of the internet, mobile, and social media, a graphic designer also has to think about website layouts and user-interface designs to enhance the interactive experience.
Software Skills
It is unlikely that you will become a graphic designer without a good grasp of at least Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Hence, it is important to enrol in a course that not only trains you in the fundamental concepts of graphic design, but also gives you a firm grasp of the industry-relevant software.
To be a graphic designer, you must learn the appropriate application of all the necessary tools. A graphic design course can guide you to acquire the right skills set and make your career a success.
Communication Skills
Communication is an important skill for a graphic designer. Graphic design, simply put, is the “effective visual communication of an idea or concept”. Hence communication is at the very heart of what a graphic designer does. You will need top communication skills to collaborate with your clients to understand them better, even before you start designing. You will also be collaborating with your team, account managers and so many other people on an everyday basis.
