A real life social post design glow up

Last week, I had the chance to do a design glow up for a local business, taking one of their social media graphics and giving it a fresh look. My goal was to show how small design changes can transform your content.

The original design had a lot of great information, but the layout made it hard to read and overwhelming at first glance. When there’s too much text, too many colors, or too many competing elements, the viewer doesn’t know where to focus. The result is they move on without really absorbing the message you are trying to send. 

Think of it like looking into a junk drawer versus a neatly organized shelf. One is chaotic and overwhelming. The other is helps you see what you need right away. Your audience should never have to work to figure out where to look. 

In the below video, I make shifts like better spacing, clearer hierarchy, and a more intentional layout.

If you remember nothing else when designing graphics, remember this: less is more.

A strong design isn’t about adding more elements. It’s about using the right ones in the right way. 

If you like this kind of video, let me know and I'll do more. Send me your stuff and I can feature your own business graphics, logo or website.

DM me on Instagram for a spot.

Thank you to Mamas in Business North Idaho and founder Nicole Craft for graciously allowing me to do this and being the guinea pig! She runs a great group and worth checkout out if you are local to North Idaho.

Watch me give this social post a design glow up:
