                     INCORPORATING SOCIAL MEDIA ICONS AND OTHER FINISHING TOUCHES
                     When making a logo, business card or poster, adding social media icons (Facebook, Instagram,
                     YouTube) helps people find more details. Before finishing, we should check if everything looks neat
                     and easy to read.

                     Adding Social Media Icons

                     Download free social media icons (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) from websites like Freepik or
                     Flaticon. Open Adobe Illustrator, go to File     Place, select the icons and position them neatly
                     on your design.

                     Final Touches

                     Make sure everything looks good and easy to read. Check if the text and images are aligned
                     properly,  spaced  evenly  and  have the  right  colours.  Add  effects  like  drop  shadows  to  make
                     important parts stand out. Your design is now ready.
