When it comes to social media, that old saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never been truer. Nailing social media graphic design is imperative in capturing people’s attention. Facebook posts with images or graphics will see twice as much engagement<\/a> as those without. And Tweets with images will get 150% more retweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your visual cortex might be a tiny part of your brain, but it processes visual information 60,000 times faster<\/a> than your brain processes words. When people scan their social media feeds, they make lightning-fast decisions about what they’ll pay attention to. Your content must catch the eye of your target audience almost instantly, or they’ll scroll right on past.<\/p>\n

The best way to slow the scroll\u2014and therefore encourage engagement\u2014is to add graphic design to your social media post. A recent study found that posts with compelling images average 94% more views<\/a> than posts without them.<\/p>\n

But graphics don’t just increase audience engagement\u2014they boost understanding and retention too. Statistics have shown that people recall information 65% more efficiently<\/a> when it’s paired with a relevant image.<\/p>\n

Top 5 social media graphic design options<\/h2>\n

When it comes to content creation, eye-catching visuals are probably the most important facet of your company’s social media marketing strategy<\/a>. Check out the top 5 types of social media graphic design with tips on how to create your own below!<\/p>\n

1. Photos with text or a graphic element<\/h3>\n

When you think about social media imagery, the first thing that probably comes to mind is photos. Visually striking photographs are particularly effective in activating associations in people’s minds. If you can evoke a mood, memory, or experience to your followers, you’ll convey meaning to them that goes well beyond words. You can reinforce your message even further by adding text or a graphic element to a photo, like this:\"giveaway<\/p>\n

Remember: just because an image is on the internet doesn’t mean you have the right to use it! <\/div>\n

Chances are, someone owns the photos you find in a routine web search, and you’ll break copyright laws if you use them\u2014or even alter them\u2014unless the owner gives you express permission. For that reason, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n
