Facebook and Twitter are chief digital marketing tools in the social media realm. As social media manager, I observed that posts with images received higher traffic and views. In response to this data, I began developing banners and one-shot picture posts to publicize titles and events specifically on social media. Posters are an effective way to announce events at tradeshows, bookstores, or community centers. Print-ready magazine advertisements, formatted to the specifications of the magazine printer and designed to catch the passing eye.

The poster, social media images, and magazine advertisements below announce specific author events and book releases to the public and were designed in Adobe inDesign.
