Text or graphic. Like so, in these examples from Highbrow: Highbrow social media design hacks I even cropped a solid chunk of image off these image examples and they still look great. Taking a similar approach will help each of your images be seen in full by every user. And with a central focal point a reader’s eye will know exactly where to look. At Venngage we actually take this tip literally with all of our social media graphics as well: Venngage social media design hacks So I guess you could say we eat our own dog food.
Always use more than one font or color for text If the Phone Number List previous tip was a little too hard for you then maybe you should skip this one too. Just kidding! All you need to know how to do is change the a font color or two in your graphics. Literally that is it! When we’re creating infographics we use different font colors to draw attention to important info or stats. It works especially well because your eye is drawn to the one thing that is different than the others. Just like your eye was drawn to the bold font I used few lines up. But this design hack is not limited to just infographics, you can use it to upgrade your social media graphics.

One of the best examples of this on social media comes from the designers at Content Marketing Institute: CMI social media design hacks I am guessing your eye was drawn directly to the phrases that used a unique color. You saw “Writing Mistakes” and “Top 10 Blog” first. And that is the point. They want those keywords or interesting phrases to jump of their feed and grab your attention. All the other words are just filler, but those keywords will make you want to learn more. They know exactly what they are doing with the different colors. Because they use this hack on almost every single graphic they share.
