YOUTH 2.O SOCIAL MEDIA AND MARKETING

RESOLUTIONS

The social media and marketing team conducted a successful knowledge transfer session with the assistance of the Indian team. Here are a few guidelines on how to prepare and develop our content for the graphics team.

GUIDELINES

1. Use only the official logo of Heartfulness with the "purity weaves destiny" line below it.
2. Use stock images/videos from official websites where heartfulness has an account:
    2.1. Videos: www.videoblocks.com
    2.2. Audio: www.audioblocks.com
    2.3. Images: www.shutterstock.com
    2.4. Images: www.freepik.com
    2.5. Canva (We do not have a premium license, but can use templates that are free): www.canva.com 
3. For any graphic template or logo animation template you require, please surf through www.envato.com. 
4. Use Gotham, Avenir, Tahu font for any text or content in videos/posters.
5. As far as a colour scheme is concerned, try sticking to a pallet of colors throughout the event. 
6. Avoid other websites or sources that provide free stock images/videos without any copyright issues. Like, unsplash or pexels or any other place where we get free stock footages/images. Try NOT using them.
7. If you wish to change the logo color of Heartfulness logo as per the creative color or Background, try to not use darkish shades on it. It should be light and subtle.
