How to make stunning social media graphics in 15 minutes or less

December 18, 2018 By Naima Ayo

Need a quality graphic on a dime and short time? Here is how I like to create easy graphics for Pinterest, Instagram, blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat.


I am grateful for this iPhone. As I juggle a full time 9-5, a full time life, and a full time side hustle – I appreciate how productive this addictive gadget 📲 keeps me.

As a new blogger and small business owner who does 100% of marketing online(still very weird talking about it irl but we’ll chat about that another time), one of my favorite apps for designing gorgeous social media posts is Adobe’s Spark Post. Adobe Spark is a free graphic design app that can help you design web pages, videos, and social media graphics.

If you have 15 minutes, you have enough time to create all of your graphics you’ll need for a week using Adobe Spark Post. You can even easily create the graphics in multiple sizes, optimized for various social media. Let me show yo the easiest way to do it.

Tools:
Social media calendar/schedule,
Messaging for posts,
Images for posts ,
Adobe’s Spark Post.

er.. or really just Spark Post. The rest is if you’re really bout it, bout it.

Remixing (the 5 minute hack)

Remixing in Spark Post is basically taking a beautifully pre-designed graphic, and modifying it for your own use. Adobe offers a variety of modern, eye-catching templates you can remix to create your own beautiful graphics.


Scroll through the featured templates and select the graphic you want to remix.


Resize the graphic to the desired social media size.


Update any images by clicking, and replacing with images either on your phone or computer. You can also use free stock images Adobe offers through Unsplash.



Update text, and play around as much or as little as you like until you reach your desired look.



Resize to all desired sizes and save!

EASY! It takes five minutes, and you can make graphics for the whole week for email, blogposts, Instagram, and Pinterest faster than a complicated Starbucks order!

Check out a few examples of some remixes designed for For The Gifted‘s instagram.




Fire right? And it took me no time at all.

What are some of your favorite hacks for your social media marketing strategy? Have you used any Adobe Spark product in your business?
