Social media carousel

Our Social Media blueprint provides 4 Master Page templates for you to switch around when creating carousels, as well as one Global Color Palette and multiple Paragraph and Character Styles to get you started with dynamically branding social media content.

How do I use Social media carousel

So you’ve downloaded our Affinity openable Social Media Carousel Blueprint. Let’s take a step by step journey to see how you can take advantage of features like Global Colors, Paragraph and Character Styles, Symbols, and Master Pages in order to create powerful visuals for your social media clients.

Import the file into Affinity

Solution

The Social Media Carousel blueprint comes with an Affinity Publisher file, an exported color palette, and an exported style. Open the file in Publisher, go to the designer persona, then import the color palette from the swatches panel, and the style from the styles panel.

Change your colors and symbols

Solution

Stay in the Designer persona, change your global Primary swatches to your brand color from the swatches panel. Now pen the symbols panel where you’ll notice that the document overlays, footers, and headers are configured. You can edit those anywhere throughout your file and the changes will translate to all of the symbols of the same kind.

Paragraph and character styles

Solution

Now go to the Publisher persona and open the Text Styles panel. This is where you’ll find the fonts globally configured for the entire file. Simply right click on any of the Paragraph or Character Styles and, from the pop up menu, change the font family, weight, and whatever else you want, to your brand’s style.

Modifying and applying master pages

Solution

Finally, the Master Pages take advantage of all of the previous steps, so you should be good to go. Drag a Master Page to the page you want to apply it to and watch the magic happen! Same as for symbols, changing something in a Master Page will apply to all of the pages that use that Master.

Conquer your fear of a blank canvas by using a tried and tested dynamic social media template.
