Social Media Designer Needed – Create Reusable 3-Post Banner + Carousel & Highlight Template System

Absolutely. I’d change the wording throughout so the job feels broader and focuses on building a reusable social media design system, rather than specifically calling out Instagram/Facebook. Job Title Social Media Designer Needed – Reusable 3-Post Banner, Carousel & Highlight Template System Job Description I am building a network of approximately 500 mission-specific social media pages, and I am looking for a creative designer to help develop the master visual system that will eventually be replicated across all of the accounts. I already have the general concept and several AI-generated mockups showing the direction I like. I will provide these examples. The goal is not to manually design 500 accounts. For this project, I want someone to help create one polished master design system that can later be duplicated for every mission by changing only: * Mission name * Country/location * Mission logo * Primary and secondary colors * A few mission-specific images * Website/link information Everything else should remain very consistent. Main Concept At the top of each social media profile, I want 3 pinned posts that visually connect together to create one large banner across the profile grid. When someone clicks each individual pinned post, it will open into a carousel containing additional information. I also want the designer’s input on what information belongs on each post and how to organize everything so the account looks clean, premium, interesting, and easy to understand. The three pinned posts will generally serve these purposes: PINNED POST 1 — Welcome / About Purpose: “What is this page?” Possible cover wording: WELCOME TO [MISSION NAME] Supporting elements could include: * Missionaries * Transfers * Events * Stories * Mission memories * Community scrapbook The carousel should introduce: 1. Welcome to the mission page 2. What the page is 3. Why people should follow 4. What kind of content will be posted 5. Who the page is for 6. How to participate 7. Follow/share CTA The account is intended to serve as an unofficial community scrapbook for current missionaries, returned missionaries, future missionaries, missionary families, local members, mission alumni, and others connected with the mission. PINNED POST 2 — Get Featured / Submit Purpose: “How can I participate?” Possible cover wording: * GET FEATURED * SHARE YOUR MISSION STORY * SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS + MEMORIES The carousel should explain: * What people can submit * How to submit * Examples of content * Who can participate * What happens after submission * How people can suggest ideas * CTA to submit Possible submissions include: * Mission call pictures/videos * Missionary photos * Companion pictures * Favorite areas * Favorite foods * Funny stories * Spiritual experiences * Favorite scriptures * Mission yearbook pictures * Homecoming pictures/videos * Member/family stories * Mission souvenirs * “What’s in my missionary bag?” * “What I’m doing now” * Favorite mission-language phrases I want contributing to feel easy, exciting, and community-driven. PINNED POST 3 — Merch / Giveaways / More Purpose: “What else can I do here?” Possible cover wording: * MERCH • MAIL • GIVEAWAYS * MORE FROM THIS ACCOUNT * SHOP • WIN • CONNECT The carousel may introduce: * Missionary Merch * Mission-specific products * Missionary Mail/package services * Giveaways * Giveaway entry instructions * Affiliate/partner offers * Collaborations * Website links * Submission forms * Other social media pages * Main/central mission account * Future services The goal is to introduce the business and community ecosystem without making the page feel overly commercial. Social Media Highlight System I also need a matching set of reusable Highlight covers. The core highlights will likely be: 1. Start Here 2. Submit 3. Giveaways 4. Merch 5. Mail 6. Takeover 7. Areas 8. About Possible additional highlights later: * Ideas * Q&A * Events * Food * Stories * Calls * RM Life / Now I would like the designer to help determine the best order, names, icons, and visual layout. Each Highlight should use the same visual system while adapting to the colors of the individual mission. Design Style I will provide reference images showing the direction I like. I want the accounts to feel: * Modern * Premium * Clean * Memorable * Professional * Community-focused * Mission/travel-inspired * Slightly scrapbook-inspired * Visually impressive when viewing the entire profile I like: * Dark backgrounds * Rich mission-specific colors * Gold/cream accents where appropriate * Strong typography * Clean icons * Maps/geography * Subtle textures * Mission/country elements * Coordinated designs across the entire account I do not want something that feels outdated, generic, overly religious-retail-looking, or like a basic template. The design also should not imply that these are official Church accounts. These are unofficial community pages. Very Important: The Design Must Be Replicable Eventually this design will need to work for approximately 500 different missions. For example, one mission may use: * Green * Gold * Brazilian imagery * Its specific mission logo while another may use: * Red * Blue * White * Paraguayan imagery * Its specific mission logo However, the underlying layout, typography, icon positions, carousel structure, visual hierarchy, etc. should remain consistent. I want the final files built so they can easily be duplicated using something such as: * Canva * Canva Bulk Create * Adobe * Photoshop templates * Figma * CSV/spreadsheet automation * Another recommended bulk-design system I am open to recommendations regarding the easiest and most scalable method. Deliverables For this initial project, I would like: 1. One complete master social media profile design system 2. Three connected pinned-post covers that create one large banner when viewed together 3. Editable carousel slides for Pinned Post 1 – Welcome/About 4. Editable carousel slides for Pinned Post 2 – Get Featured/Submit 5. Editable carousel slides for Pinned Post 3 – Merch/Giveaways/Links 6. Eight matching Highlight covers 7. Matching Story templates 8. Recommended fonts, colors, icons, and basic style guidelines 9. Examples showing how the same system looks for at least 2–3 different missions/colors 10. All editable/source files 11. A design system that can eventually be replicated across approximately 500 accounts Creative input is important I am not only looking for someone to follow instructions exactly. I would also like someone who has a good eye for social media and can help decide: * What information belongs on each carousel * What information should be removed because it is too much * What should receive the most visual emphasis * How to encourage people to swipe through the carousel * How to encourage people to submit content * How to make the page feel like a real community * How to make giveaways noticeable without looking spammy * How to integrate merch and mail without making the page feel like an advertisement * How the three pinned covers should connect visually * How to make the overall profile immediately stand out I already have many of the content ideas. I need help turning them into something that looks clean, intentional, premium, aesthetic, and easy to understand. Budget $50 fixed price for the initial master design/template system. This is not a request to manually design all 500 accounts for $50. The purpose of this project is to create the master reusable template and design system. If the first project goes well, there may be additional work involving bulk creation, additional templates, posts, Stories, covers, and other branding. When Applying Please include: * Examples of social media carousel designs or account branding you have created * Examples of Canva, Figma, or Photoshop templates if available * Whether you have experience with Canva Bulk Create or scalable template systems * Your preferred software for this project * A brief explanation of how you would make the design easy to replicate across hundreds of accounts * Confirmation that I will receive the fully editable source/template files Please start your proposal with: MISSION DESIGN so I know you read the full description.
