Social media / visual guidelines

One artistic voice.
Four different conversations.

CarbonPod’s pencil-and-charcoal story, adapted for LinkedIn, Instagram, X and Facebook.

01 / Channel roles

Adapt the message,
preserve the hand.

Dimensions are CarbonPod’s working presets, not platform maximums. Verify the intended upload tool and crop preview. Advertising placements need their own current specifications.

02 / Native layouts

Artwork first.
A clear thought beside it.

Use the same palette, fonts and unchanged logo across channels. Each post includes the original three-circle mark and CarbonPod wordmark. Preserve the mark colours, proportions and clear space in final exports.

03 / Carousel / document sequence

One idea per page.

01 / Opening

A better ending
for residue.

One premise. A generous botanical drawing. Short headline.

02–04 / Explain

Gather.
Convert. Follow.

One material or process beat per page. Keep margins, numbering and linework consistent.

05–06 / Context and action

What needs
evidence?

Show limitations and development status. Close with one useful action.

Use a consistent 1080 × 1350 house canvas for the sequence. Document layouts keep text readable and editable before PDF export.

04 / Vertical film

Recompose. Don’t cut the roots.

Stories and Reels

  • 1080 × 1920 house canvas; keep the entire narrative visible.
  • Start with a readable first frame and review the cover separately.
  • Initial house margins: 10% sides, 15% top, 20% bottom. Check interface overlays in each app.
  • Small sapling roots grow and fade with the plant. No static underground strip.
  • Charcoal dispersal remains symbolic; avoid unsupported claims.
  • Silent viewing must work. Caption speech accurately and check audio rights.
  • Match the loop seam and preserve a still cover.
05 / Profiles and covers

The mark stays the mark.

Avatars

Use the original three-circle mark, centred with generous padding for a circular crop. Preserve its colour and proportions. Avoid tiny landscapes, slogans and a stretched wordmark.

Banners

Quiet landscape or material artwork, with a short mission line. Keep important content clear of avatar and interface overlaps. X’s recommended header is 1500 × 500; LinkedIn company/personal banners and Facebook covers need separate current crop checks.

06 / Copy and readability

Useful. Human. Specific.

Write for the channel

LinkedIn: concrete explanation and evidence. Instagram: short image-led caption. X: one clear idea and source. Facebook: accessible mission and community context.

Use restrained relevant hashtags. Avoid hype, engagement bait, emoji-heavy headings and invented handles.

Read it on a phone

At 1080px width, begin with 64–96px headlines, body at least 32px and metadata at least 24px. Treat these as house starting points, then verify at actual feed size.

Use meaningful alt text, accurate speech captions and strong contrast. Keep important information in the caption too.

07 / Publication check

A finished asset
isn’t a published claim.

No financials, unannounced projects, certification claims, endorsements or measured outcomes without approved evidence. These examples are not scheduled or posted.
