Text Hierarchy Tips for Social Graphics
- Headline (48-72px): Your main message. Use bold, high-contrast colors. Keep it short โ 3-6 words for thumbnails, 6-10 for feed posts.
- Subheading (28-40px): Supporting text. Place below the headline. Use a lighter weight or smaller size to create visual hierarchy.
- CTA / URL (18-24px): Call-to-action like "Shop Now" or "Link in Bio". Place at the bottom and keep it legible on mobile.
- Shadow & Outline: Use text shadow for readability over busy backgrounds. Use outline (stroke) for a bold promotional look. Combine both for high-impact YouTube thumbnails.
- Color Contrast: White text over dark backgrounds or dark text over light sections. Never place text on high-detail areas without shadow support.
When to Use Each Format
- Instagram Post (1:1): Feed posts, brand announcements, quotes. The square format works everywhere on Instagram and looks great in grid previews.
- Instagram Story / Reel (9:16): Full-screen mobile content, time-sensitive announcements, behind-the-scenes, short video covers.
- Facebook Post (1.9:1 / 1200ร630): Standard link shares, blog post promotion, event announcements. This is the most commonly shared format across the web.
- Facebook Cover (2.63:1): Your Facebook page header. Avoid critical content near the edges โ profile picture and CTA button overlay on mobile.
- Twitter/X Post (16:9): Shared images in the timeline. Wide format performs well for screenshots, infographics, and visual tweets.
- LinkedIn Banner (4:1): Professional profile header. Keep it clean and minimal โ your headline and photo overlay on the left.
- YouTube Thumbnail (16:9): The most important design element for video click-through rate. Use bold text (large font), high contrast, faces/emotions, and bright colors.
- TikTok Video (9:16): Vertical full-screen covers. Text should be large and centered. Leave room for captions and UI elements at top and bottom.
- Pinterest Pin (2:3 / 1000ร1500): Tall vertical images perform best. Use vertical flow, soft colors, and inspirational text. Add your brand logo at the bottom.
