Brand Your Business: Design the Profile

Calling all Social Media Managers!!!! We need you to put everything you have been doing throughout module 5 and 6 together, so you can help your selected Startup Business make its grand debut on Social Media!!!!

Assignment Details: 

• Recall the work you have done in Module 5. You should already be very familiar with your selected startup business and the social media platform you have identified as being the "best fit" for this business. 

• Your task in this assignment is to actually design a "mock profile" for your business, so your business can make its "grand debut" on social media. 

• Consider the following: 

  • What should the company's tagline/headline be? 

  • What should the company's most recent three posts say? 

  • Who might this company follow/be associated with on the platform? 

  • What colors/design elements are most appropriate for the business? Keep in mind, you should already have a business logo by this point, and you should consider the design of your logo as you are contemplating the design of the social media page. 

• Create a mock-up of the social media profile. This can be done on paper and pencil, using a word processor, as a Google Drawing or made using a clickable wireframe tool. You may even choose to use one of the templates located in the resources section of this page. 

  • Make sure your profile design is appropriate and visually appealing.

  • Do your best to capture the best of your company, so they can make a "huge splash" on social media.

  • Don't forget to include the logo you programmed for the business. 

  • Have fun and be creative with your tagline, photos, hashtag, and recent posts.

  • Don't plagiarize! Use sites like Pixabay

  •  to find images that are free to use for this purpose.

• Submit the completed mock-up profile for a grade.
