A good carousel is not just a bunch of slides put together.
It should make one idea easier to understand.
Same with an infographic.
You don’t need more text, more colours, or more design elements. You need a clear idea, a good flow, and visuals that help people get it.
For me, the process usually starts with:
What are we trying to say? Who needs to understand it? What can be shown instead of explained?
Then comes the layout, typography, spacing, and visuals. The design should support the idea, not complicate it!
That’s what I try to do with LinkedIn carousels and infographics for founders, coaches, and B2B/GTM teams.
So if you want to turn 'the rough idea in your Notion doc' into something people can actually understand and remember. Dm me!
Simple > crowded :) You don’t need a finished design brief to start a LinkedIn visual.
If your idea is still sitting in a Notion page, a rough draft, or even a few messy notes, we can start there :)
What helps me most is a little context:
Who is this for?
What should they understand?
What do you want them to do next?
If you have brand colours, existing designs, or a reference you like, send those too.
And if you share a reference, tell me what you like about it. Maybe it’s the layout or the way it explains a difficult idea.
That helps me understand your direction before I start designing.
From there, we can figure out what the idea actually needs.
A carousel.
An infographic.
A simple LinkedIn visual.
I recently crossed 1,500+ followers on LinkedIn, and I’m continuing to share the work, lessons, and designs I’m building along the way.
If you’re a founder, coach, or small business building your presence on LinkedIn and need help turning your ideas into simple visuals, you can find my LinkedIn visual design service here on Contra. LinkedIn Profile Design For Omar Abdalla - My Whole Process Most founders have the strategy in their head.
They just can't show it clearly.
I take their raw ideas and turn them into one clean cheatsheet, structured, visual, ready to post on LinkedIn.
No fluff. No back and forth. Just clarity on one page.
That's what content design actually does.
