    paper Social Media Manager portfolio

    With this little project, I wanted to showcase my skills in social media management. I do not have any experience working for formal clients, so I created fake brands and clients using stock images. I then used my graphic design skills to create content that would be useful on the page. I enjoyed bringing these pages to life, and I envisioned a page aesthetics that users would be attracted to. I added relevant captions and hashtags to each post, and created a social media presence I believe my clients would be proud of.
