Social media and print design

Design for feeds, posters and print.

📖 Key ideas

Know sizes: Instagram post 1080×1080, story 1080×1920, YouTube thumbnail 1280×720.
Templates speed up consistent posts.
Print needs CMYK, 300 ppi and bleed (usually 3 mm).
Design flyers, brochures, banners and visiting cards.
Canva helps fast layouts; Photoshop/Illustrator for detailed work.

💡 Real-life example: Designing for different formats is tailoring the same outfit for a wedding and an office.
