Designing Magazine Pages To Be Re-Used As Social Media Posts

Digital magazine pages designed by October Custom Publishing for Retail Brand Discovery magazine, easily converted to social media friendly images

We mentioned here that we'd designed the feature pages of Retail Brand Discovery's March 2026 issue to allow us to easily re-use the contents of the pages as social media posts. The goal was to make the conversion from print and digital page layout, to standard Instagram post square with minimal re-design of the elements.

Here are some page samples from the issue, and the corresponding social media post images that were created as a result. It's pretty clear what we've done - taking the individual entry per person, adding the section title and RBD logo.

This gives publisher Chris Stanton a ton of material to use to promote the magazine and hopefully encourage a lot of reposting by those being featured in the magazine.
