The summer content we’re looking for
There is something about summer content that cheers us up. Perhaps it’s the colors, the tropical elements, or the light that emanates from them.
Summer is a pretty huge concept, though, and we’re looking for some specific concepts. Here are a few content suggestions and examples so you can have a concrete idea of what to upload to participate in this promo.
Content suggestion: Vectors
When it comes to vectors, we’re looking for banners. Refreshing and vibrating compositions with summer-related elements. Have a look at the following tips for creating summer content:
- Content-type: banners. Create banners for summer sales, or summer events, to name just a few.
- Elements: summer-related concepts like fruits, tropical leaves, summer clothing, water, refreshing drinks, beach, sun, etc.
- Colors: vibrant colors are typically related to summertime. Use colors that motivate you and transmit good feelings, like yellow, blue, orange, green, pink. Actually, any color! PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating comes in like a pretty good option for summer content.
Apart from these tips, make sure your vectors keep to the basic quality standards to avoid rejection.
