increase shares

+
Social media is saturated with images
Design and layout
It’s about balance.
#1 Use a Grid and choose a single focal point
Use a large strong visual image. Can also use a headline or pull quote in the same
way.
#2Use the Rule of Thirds
#3 It’s okay to have white space
This helps create a comfortable layout because the viewer will automatically look at the larger elements within the layout first, progressing through to the smaller elements as they read
Design and layout
Take note that...
Add one image for every 350 words so readers can ”breathe as they read.”
Remember:In your layout, make some elements larger than others.
Include a wide range of images
Graphs and charts Cartoons and comics
Add your logo to images
