There's a very simple way to learn how to create designs for a healthy food store or health food shop. Agrojusto designer Agustina Andrada will show you how to make your own designs for social media, or for anywhere you like, in no time.

Let's go step by step.

Brand identity

Your identity is what represents you as a brand, business, or venture. You need to define it and keep it consistent over time.

What brand identity includes:

All these elements will stick in consumers' minds. Defining them well is key.

• The name.
• The logo.
• Brand colors: choose 3 to 5 colors and stick with them.
• Typefaces: choose one or two.
• Shapes / Elements / Icons.

Content: what to post on my social media

What am I going to communicate and convey to my potential customers?

What will hook my audience? What would they like to find?

Don't post only prices and products; that alone doesn't grab attention. Think about content that connects with people.

Use these ideas as a guide:

• Benefits of my products/foods.
• What that food does. How it helps the body or mind. For example, you can post healthy recipes.
• Which products are in season, and which are easiest to find at this time of year.

What to keep in mind before designing

• The amount of information. Ideally, break the information into short phrases and create carousels with several images for Instagram and Facebook.
• Highlight images and text.
• Pay attention to margins and spacing. Every element should be well centered.
• Keep a visual balance. We'll show you how to achieve it later on.
• Create an information hierarchy. Order it by priority.
