Social Media Graphic Designer — Static Posts & Carousels (24hr Turnaround)

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

We're a creative agency looking for reliable graphic designers to produce social media content on a fast turnaround. We supply the copy and example/reference graphics — you design polished, on-brand final assets to match. What you'll deliver per client A typical client package is: 3–4 Carousels at 8 slides each (1080×1080 or 1080×1350) 3–4 Static posts (1080×1080 or 1080×1350) Every brand has its own visual identity (we provide brand guidelines, fonts, color palette, and logo). You're not designing brand systems — you're applying ours. Non-negotiable: file delivery standards We've burned hours on past designers who delivered messy folders. To skip the conversation entirely, here's the file standard. Deliverables that don't meet this trigger a free revision round before payment. 1. Folder structure (required): Client June Creatives/ ├── Carousel 1 - (Title)/ │ ├── Carousel 1 - Slide 01 - Cover - (Hook).png │ ├── Carousel 1 - Slide 02 - (Topic).png │ └── ... through Slide 08 - CTA (Action).png ├── Carousel 2 - (Title)/ ├── Statics/ │ ├── Static Post 1 - (Title).png │ ├── Static Post 2 - (Title).png │ └── ... 2. Filename rules: -Zero-padded slide numbers (Slide 01, not Slide 1) so they sort correctly -Filename includes the slide's actual topic in plain English (a reviewer should know what's on the slide without opening it) -No generic filenames like 1.png, final.png, final-v2.png, or Untitled.png -No drafts or alternate versions in the final folder. If you produce A/B options, deliver them in a separate Drafts/ subfolder 3. Content match: Every slide's text must match the written copy brief exactly (we deliver these as Google Docs — no creative liberties on copy) If a brief says 8 slides, deliver 8 slides — not 7, not 9, not "I thought 6 was tighter" If a slide is truly unclear or wrong, flag it before you produce, not after 4. Format: -PNG, RGB, sRGB color profile -No file less than 3MB unless we approve -Upload directly to Google Drive folder we share with you (don't ZIP, don't email, don't WeTransfer) Quality bar -Brand fidelity over personal aesthetic. If our brand uses navy + cream, don't deliver burgundy + sage because it "looks better." -Typography hierarchy holds across 8 slides (slide 1 ≠ slide 5 font weights) -Real images (provided by us or licensed from approved stock sources we name) — no obvious AI-generated faces, no clip art, no Canva templates copy-pasted -Spell-check every slide. Mid-deck typos cost a revision round Turnaround -Standard: 5 business days from brief delivery to first round -Revisions: 2 business days per round Requirements: -Strong eye for clean, modern social media design (Instagram and Facebook native) -Proficient in Figma and Canva -Able to follow brand guidelines, written copy briefs, and visual references exactly — headlines -reproduced verbatim, slide counts matched, palette and fonts applied as specified -Organized file delivery: each carousel in its own subfolder, slides named with topic + zero-padded numbers (e.g., Carousel 1 - Slide 03 - Step 1 Protein First.png) — not 1.png, 2.png, or generic exports -Final folder contains only the published files — no drafts, blank placeholders, A/B variations, or auto-renamed duplicates ((2), (3), etc.) -Reliable 24-hour turnaround once a batch is assigned -Comfortable working directly in shared Google Drive folders (no ZIPs, no WeTransfer) -Pre-delivery QC: spell-check every slide, confirm filenames match content, confirm slide count matches brief This can become ongoing work for designers who deliver quality on time. Please share a portfolio of social media statics and carousels (full carousel decks, not just covers) with your proposal.
