B2B Social Visual Design System

14 / 15

Create a master Figma file with these artboards:

  • LinkedIn Post: 1200×628px
  • LinkedIn Square: 1080×1080px
  • Instagram Square: 1080×1080px
  • Instagram Story: 1080×1920px
  • Twitter/X Header: 1200×675px

Set up components for: brand colors, typography scale, logo variants, and icon library.

Recommendation
Consolidate the multiple workflow sections (Platform Setup, Master Template System, etc.) into a single numbered workflow to avoid confusion
14 / 15

Progress:

  • Set up platform artboards with safe zones
  • Create 3-5 master template types
  • Build modular component library
  • Generate 20+ template variants
  • Set up content calendar visual framework
  • Implement performance tracking system

1. Platform Setup

Safe Zones:

  • LinkedIn: 100px margin from edges
  • Instagram: 80px margin (square), 120px top/bottom (story)
  • Twitter/X: 100px margin from edges

Typography Hierarchy:

  • H1: 32-40px (headlines)
  • H2: 24-28px (subheads)
  • Body: 16-20px (readable at thumbnail)
  • Caption: 12-14px (sources, handles)

2. Master Template System

Template A: Data/Stat Cards

  • Large number (80-120px)
  • Supporting context
  • Source attribution
  • Brand accent color

Template B: Quote Cards

  • Quote text (24-32px)
  • Attribution line
  • Brand photo/avatar
  • Background pattern/texture

Template C: Product Demos

  • Product screenshot/mockup
  • Feature callout
  • Benefit statement
  • CTA element

Template D: Event Promotions

  • Event title/date
  • Key speaker/topic
  • Registration CTA
  • Event branding

Template E: Thought Leadership

  • Professional headshot
  • Key insight/tip
  • Industry context
  • Company branding

3. Component Library Structure

📁 Brand Elements
  └── Colors (primary, secondary, neutral palette)
  └── Logos (horizontal, stacked, icon versions)
  └── Typography (text styles for each hierarchy)

📁 Layout Components
  └── Backgrounds (solid, gradient, pattern options)
  └── Frames (borders, dividers, accent bars)
  └── CTAs (buttons, badges, arrows)

📁 Content Elements
  └── Icons (industry-specific set of 20-30)
  └── Charts (bar, pie, line graph templates)
  └── Photo frames (consistent masking shapes)

4. Template Variants Generation

From 5 masters, create variants by:

  • Swapping color schemes (3 brand palettes)
  • Rotating layout orientations
  • Adjusting typography weights
  • Changing background treatments
  • Modifying accent elements

Target: 4-5 variants per master = 20-25 total templates

Recommendation
Replace abstract template descriptions with actual concrete input/output examples showing the visual transformation
15 / 20

Example 1: Data Card Template Input: "87% of B2B buyers research online before contacting sales" Output: Large "87%" in brand blue, "of B2B buyers research online first" in smaller text, source citation, company logo bottom right

Example 2: Quote Card Variant Input: CEO quote about industry trends Output: Quote in quotation marks, CEO headshot left side, company name/title below, branded background pattern

Example 3: Product Demo Post Input: New dashboard feature Output: Clean screenshot with callout bubble highlighting feature, benefit statement overlay, "Learn More" CTA button

Recommendation
Reduce the content calendar and performance tracking sections - they're valuable but make the skill less concise and focused on the core design task

Weekly Rhythm:

  • Monday: Industry insight/thought leadership
  • Tuesday: Product/service highlight
  • Wednesday: Data/statistic post
  • Thursday: Behind-the-scenes/culture
  • Friday: Week recap/upcoming events

Monthly Themes:

  • Week 1: Industry trends
  • Week 2: Product focus
  • Week 3: Client success stories
  • Week 4: Company thought leadership

Visual Consistency Rules:

  • Maintain 70% brand colors, 30% seasonal/campaign accents
  • Use same filter/photo treatment across month
  • Rotate between 3 template families weekly

Track These Metrics:

  • Engagement rate by template type
  • Click-through rate by CTA style
  • Save/share rate by content format
  • Comment rate by visual style

A/B Testing Framework: Test weekly:

  • Color psychology (warm vs cool backgrounds)
  • Typography weight (bold vs regular headlines)
  • Layout density (minimal vs information-rich)
  • CTA placement (bottom right vs center)

Optimization Cycle:

  1. Run template for 2 weeks
  2. Analyze performance data
  3. Identify top 3 performing elements
  4. Create new variants emphasizing those elements
  5. Retire bottom 20% of templates
  6. Introduce 2-3 new experimental templates monthly

Figma Setup for Handoff:

  1. Create "PRODUCTION TEMPLATES" page
  2. Add instruction text layers for each template
  3. Use component properties for easy text swapping
  4. Set up color/image swap tokens
  5. Create export presets for each platform

Instruction Format per Template:

TEMPLATE: Data Card - LinkedIn
1. Double-click main number → replace with your stat
2. Double-click description → add context
3. Right panel → swap brand color if needed
4. Replace source text at bottom
5. Export → LinkedIn Post preset
  • Design for mobile-first viewing (80% of social consumption)
  • Maintain 60-40 text-to-visual ratio for accessibility
  • Use consistent visual hierarchy across all templates
  • Include brand elements without overwhelming content
  • Test readability at actual platform thumbnail sizes
  • Keep file organized with clear naming conventions
  • Version control: save monthly template archive
  • Don't create templates too complex for non-designers to modify
  • Avoid platform-specific elements in cross-platform templates
  • Don't ignore platform algorithm preferences (LinkedIn favors document carousels)
  • Avoid text smaller than 16px for mobile readability
  • Don't use more than 3 fonts across entire system
  • Avoid templates requiring custom photo cropping skills
  • Don't forget to account for profile picture overlap on organic posts
