From the <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/the-psychology-of-fonts-fonts-that-evoke-emotion\">colors and fonts<\/a> you use to where you place your CTAs, it all plays a huge role in getting the audience excited enough to take action and participate in your contest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Now that we know why design matters so much for your contest, let\u2019s find out how to put these principles into action and create mind-blowing promo graphics for giveaways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Guide_to_Creating_Beautiful_Promo_Graphics_for_Contests_and_Giveaways\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Beautiful Promo Graphics for Contests and Giveaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Creating great-looking promo graphics for giveaways is something that you can easily do on your own, even if you\u2019re not an expert designer or work with a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designrush.com\/agency\/graphic-design\">graphic design company<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">You don\u2019t need to use Photoshop or any other complicated software. There are tons of online design tools, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/social-media-graphics\/\">Visme<\/a>, to help you whip up a social media graphic in minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">But if you want to take your design to the next level, here are some best practices to keep in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Use high-quality images<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogtyrant.com\/how-to-find-imagess-for-your-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using high-quality images<\/a> is non-negotiable for your giveaway graphics.<\/p>\n<p>Low-quality, blurry images can detract from your brand&#8217;s professionalism and deter potential participants.<\/p>\n<p>Platforms like Unsplash and Pexels offer a vast array of high-quality, free stock photos that can elevate your promotional materials.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31061\" style=\"font-size: revert; color: var(--global-palette4);\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1a-1.jpg\" alt=\"Promo Graphics for Giveaways\" width=\"829\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1a-1.jpg 829w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1a-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1a-1-768x495.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZOpjokn94a\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">If you want to use stock photos, try searching for keywords on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Unsplash <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pexels<\/a>. It\u2019s important to use the <em>right <\/em>images, so make sure you don\u2019t use something too generic or off-brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">You can also take original photos for your promo graphics for giveaways. If your giveaway involves a physical product, like a beauty box, you can take an attractive photo of it using a good quality camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31062\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Promo Graphics for Giveaways\" width=\"765\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-1.jpg 765w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-1-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-sJ5Aqhu28\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Here are some quick product photography tips to help you out:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Use flat lay photography:<\/strong> Flat lays are easy to execute and can help you tell a visual story by thoughtfully combining a relevant backdrop (e.g. a soft blanket) with objects (e.g. baby products and flower petals) that exude a certain mood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Use natural lighting: <\/strong>Good lighting is key to taking high-quality photos. If you don\u2019t have access to a brightly lit room, take your stuff outside and shoot in natural light. This helps you avoid unwanted shadows and color issues in your photos.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Stick to a plain background: <\/strong>When in doubt, go for a plain (and white) background. This will draw maximum focus to your product and limit any distractions in the surroundings. Utilizing a <a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/background-remover\/\">background remover<\/a> can further refine your product images, ensuring a seamless and distraction-free presentation that highlights your product&#8217;s features effectively. By leveraging\u00a0an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/ai\/background-remover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI background remover<\/a> for more precise adjustments, ensure your product is displayed flawlessly without any distractions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">If you don\u2019t want to use photography at all, you can also build a promo graphic using text, icons, and illustrations. To do this, you may use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flaticon.com\/\">Flaticon&#8217;s library of free icons<\/a> to find the perfect icons and illustrations that match your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Edit your photos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Look, you can totally upload a simple image with a caption. But that isn\u2019t going to help you get noticed in the unending sea of visuals on Instagram\u2019s Explore page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">What <em>will <\/em>get you noticed, though, is how well you\u2019ve edited that image to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Enhance its visual appeal<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Convey your message at first glance<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">For example, you can add filters to enhance the color, depth and other aspects of your image. Use Instagram\u2019s own features or use an external app like <a href=\"https:\/\/lightroom.adobe.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Adobe Lightroom<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/vsco.co\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">VSCO<\/a>. Effective <a href=\"https:\/\/skylum.com\/luminar-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image editing<\/a> can make a significant difference in how your content is perceived.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">To make it even more prominent, add text overlays, icons and stickers that show people it\u2019s a giveaway or contest graphic right away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">An even better idea is to design around your image so that the text and other elements look like they\u2019re part of the image itself. Here\u2019s a cool example of how that could look like:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31063\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Promo Graphics for Giveaways\" width=\"842\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3.jpg 842w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-768x492.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-y1OGKJhne\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Notice how the text elements in the photo above blend seamlessly with the flat lay photography. This is a neat technique to create an eye-catching visual that you can\u2019t help but notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Choose the right size<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Before you start designing your promo graphic, make sure you know which platform you\u2019re going to share it on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">That\u2019s because you need to optimize your image size for each social media platform, or it might not perform that well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">For example, if you try to post a square image on your Instagram story, it will look small and there will be empty space above and below the image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/insights\/social-media-image-sizes-guide\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">recommended image sizes<\/a> for some common social media platforms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Instagram post: <\/strong>1080 x 1080<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Instagram story: <\/strong>1080 x 1920<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Facebook post: <\/strong>1200 x 630<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Facebook cover: <\/strong>820 x 312<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Twitter post: <\/strong>Min. 440 x 220 (2:1 Ratio)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>4. Keep it on-brand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">When designing promo graphics for your contest, don\u2019t forget to stick to your brand guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Every single piece of content that you publish online, including a simple promo graphic, has a certain influence on your brand image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">This will reflect in each element that you use in your design, so do your homework before deciding the colors, fonts, and imagery. If you use a clashing theme in your design, you might risk hurting your brand image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31064\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/4-2.jpg\" alt=\"Promo Graphics for Giveaways\" width=\"889\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/4-2.jpg 889w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/4-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/4-2-768x466.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Guardianmy\/photos\/a.263090733701079\/3206540849356038\/?type=3&amp;theater\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Lastly, don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/placeit.net\/logo-maker\">add your logo<\/a> to the graphic, just like Dove and Guardian did above. This is important because your giveaway graphics are likely to get shared a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Adding your logo will help increase brand awareness and grab the attention of people who already know about your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Make it interactive<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Animated GIFs can offer a refreshing new take on static promo graphics. They\u2019re eye-catching, interesting and just more fun!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Here\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/templates\/social-media-graphics\/birthday-wishes-square-1425281817\/\">animated Instagram post template<\/a> you can edit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">If you\u2019re looking to share an Instagram story about your contest or giveaway, <a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/interactive-content-examples\">make it interactive<\/a> using a bunch of Instagram story features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Add a question, poll, quiz, heart bar or stickers to get viewers to engage!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Another cool idea is to add an interactive promo graphic with links, clickable buttons (CTA) and even hover effects to your web page or blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">You can easily create one in Visme and embed it using a responsive code to preserve the interactivity features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Use a template<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">If you\u2019re new at design, it\u2019s a great idea to start with a premade template that you can just edit to fit your requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">This helps you save time and effort, especially when you\u2019d rather be focusing on more important stuff, like actually running a successful campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Here\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/templates\/social-media-graphics\/every-problem-is-a-gift-instagram-post-1425282020\/\">editable template<\/a> in Visme to help you get started:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31067\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Promo Graphics for Giveaways\" width=\"1082\" height=\"1082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/7.jpg 1082w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/7-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/7-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1082px) 100vw, 1082px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/templates\/social-media-graphics\/every-problem-is-a-gift-instagram-post-1425282020\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>It\u2019s important to choose the right template to get started.

Be consistent<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">The final (and key) step to ensuring a successful social media contest is to establish consistency across all the different platforms you\u2019re using.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">This not only includes all aspects of your design, like colors, fonts, and images but also the tone of voice of your copy and captions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">It also includes posting regularly to create hype around your giveaway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Consistency helps strengthen your brand and pulls your entire campaign together. Make sure you don\u2019t ignore this part.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_design_your_next_contest_or_giveaway\"><\/span><strong>Ready to design your next contest or giveaway?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Designing promo graphics for your contest doesn\u2019t need to be a complicated task.
