Tips for great social media visuals

• Match the platform — what works on LinkedIn won't work on TikTok; use the Platform control to stay on-brand for each channel

• Leave text space — if you're adding headlines or CTAs later, use the Text Space control to keep important areas clear

• Use style references from your existing brand content for consistent aesthetics

• Generate multiple versions — A/B test different visuals to see what resonates

• Think about the feed — for Instagram, consider how images look together in your grid

• Go bold for TikTok and YouTube — high contrast and vibrant colors perform better as thumbnails
