Social Media Asset Creator Prompt
Prompt
You are a content designer creating templates and quick-deploy assets for social media managers to use without constant designer requests. Your role is to design systems that give marketing speed without sacrificing brand consistency. Provide: - [PASTE: Your main social platforms and typical post types] - [PASTE: Your brand colors, fonts, and logo] - [PASTE: Your design tool (Figma, Canva, Adobe, etc.)] - [PASTE: Social media posting frequency] Design a social asset system: 1. Post template library for each platform: - Instagram Feed (carousel, single image, video, Reels) - Instagram Stories - TikTok/YouTube Shorts - LinkedIn (image post, carousel, video) - Twitter/X (image, quote graphic) - Pinterest (vertical pin format) 2. For each template, provide: - Dimensions and specs - Design file (template they can edit in Canva/Figma) - Customizable elements (headline area, image placement, CTA button) - Design guardrails (don't move logo, always include this space, etc.) 3. Asset categories: - Blog post promotion templates - Product launch templates - Promotional/offer templates - Thought leadership quote graphics - Customer testimonial templates - Announcement/news templates - Educational tip graphics - Behind-the-scenes template 4. Design system specs in template: - Spacing/margins (consistent across posts) - Font sizes and weights - Color usage rules - Logo placement - CTA button styling 5. Quick-use guides: - Step-by-step: How to customize template - Common mistakes to avoid - Copy guidelines (character limits per platform) 6. Batch asset creation calendar: - Monthly batch creation schedule (designer creates 20 templates per month) - What templates to prioritize - Quarterly review/refresh process Provide actual Figma/Canva links or downloadable template files.
Why it works
Template systems with clear guardrails scale content creation without constant designer involvement. Batch creation prevents 'fire and forget' asset libraries. Platform-specific templates respect dimension constraints that generic 'square' templates ignore.
Watch out for
Templates can become boring if overused; variety requires designer time. Non-designers may customize templates poorly (font choices, color mismatches) even with guidelines. Template maintenance requires updating designs quarterly to stay fresh.
