Background
The design of social media graphics became a significant part of my design output from 2014 onward. Almost all significant events and campaigns across all of the pubs and restaurants that I worked for required Facebook and Twitter graphics to support the printed deliverables.
Work
The short lifespan of social media graphics meant they were required to be made quickly, usually alongside the print-ready files using shared elements. Fast turnaround and the effective use of an eye-catching design tailored for all screen sizes meant the work was demanding with little room for error.
