Social

Three platforms. One safe zone rule.

YMF maintains an active presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Each platform has its own canvas dimensions and UI safe zones. The rule is consistent across all of them: never place critical content — headlines, the logo, calls to action — outside the safe zone boundary.

Instagram

Post and Story.

The square post is the primary format for feed content. Stories run full-bleed at 9:16 — large platform UI elements at the top and bottom demand a tighter safe zone than other formats.

The shaded bands on the Story show where Instagram's UI sits — profile ring at top, reply field at bottom. Keep all critical content between them.

Facebook

Feed post and cover photo.

Feed posts display at roughly 1.91:1 — landscape content performs well here. The cover photo is a key brand touchpoint; note that the profile picture overlaps the bottom-left corner on mobile, so keep that zone clear.

LinkedIn

Post and company cover.

LinkedIn post dimensions are near-identical to Facebook feed — the same template file works for both with minimal adjustment. The company page cover is a wide, horizontal brand banner anchored to the top of the page.
