Design a feed that looks like one brand, not ten random posts

From correct specs to a reusable template kit anyone can ship from

Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This hands-on course teaches the visual craft of social graphics: the exact formats and safe zones for the Instagram grid and Stories, LinkedIn and Instagram carousels, and X/Twitter headers, plus the hierarchy that makes a post legible at thumbnail size. You will build a master template kit with locked grids, type scales, and brand colours so a non-designer can ship on-brand posts. You leave with a complete, correctly spec'd starter pack and a reusable system instead of one-off files.
