Design a social post series

Make it: Design three posts about one useful tip

Start here · 50 minutes

Gather: Design app, your own photo or drawing, and phone for testing

Step by step

1. Pick a small accurate tip you can demonstrate, such as how you label a plant cutting. Write one audience question.
2. Plan three posts: the problem, the action, and the result. Write one short heading and one sentence for each.
3. Set one type family, two text sizes, and two or three colours with readable contrast. Reuse the same margins.
4. Export all three images. Check them at phone size and write accompanying text so the message is not locked inside an image.
5. Ask two people what they learned; fix the post where their answer differs from your intention.

You're done when: The three posts feel related and a new reader can explain the tip in order.

Next project: Adapt one message for two formats

90 minutes

1. Choose a real event or personal project and write the four facts a new viewer needs.
2. Design a square post with a clear title and action, using the visual system from your first series.
3. Rearrange the same information into a tall phone format; do not simply stretch the square image.
4. Check both on a phone, test reading order and contrast, and write accessible accompanying text.

You're done when: Both formats communicate the same facts without clipped text or hidden action.
