Do you need help engaging social media content?

Creating beautiful social media tiles is a great way to create content which can be shared across all your social media channels.

In this tutorial I teach you how to use Adobe Illustrator to create engaging and educational social media tiles.

Steps for Building Social Media Tiles

This is a very easy formula for building social media tiles.

1. Open a New Document with a 1:1 Ratio

I recommend this ratio, because it’s extremely diverse & can be used across most social media platforms.

2. Add a Background

Start by choosing the background of your tile, I like to use simple colours or imagery.

This really helps the social tile stand out.

3. Add your Text

Write your text & position it on the tile. Don’t hesitate to try out different layouts & alignments.

I like to keep my text short & sweet to the point.

4. Add your Iconography

Finally to finish the tile, I recommend adding an icon which complements your design.

I use Flat Icon to get most of my icons.
