OUGD503 - Studio Brief 01 - Shy Bairns Social Media Content

Alongside the design of the publication, the brief also required the production of a range of content for use on social media. These were designed on a commission-style basis as and when the group needed to post on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook. Content ranged from announcements for pre-order sales and to updates about printing and features for artists.

All content was produced to work cohesively with the social media platforms - all of the platforms used by the group utilised square image formats and so all graphics were produced within this limitation. The instagram account for the project also used blocks of three squares to create a longer image format, allowing for more freedom within the content.

The social media graphics also heavily utilised the grid motif designed for the cover of issue 1. The typeface and colour scheme were also taken from the original design in order to create a sense of continuity between the printed and digital platforms.
