Social media design is the creation of images, graphics, and visual content specifically developed for social media platforms.
It combines design skills with an understanding of each platform’s context, audience, and purpose. The goal is to communicate messages clearly and effectively within digital formats and space constraints.
Social media design includes not only static visuals but also dynamic formats such as video, motion, 3D effects, and AR overlays.
