Selection Sunday is always a good case study for social graphics and content, so I’ve curated highlights below. From GIFS to sharp design work, I hope this post inspires you in your work. Enjoy!
Graphics
Strong Content
The tweets below are fun and relatable for fans. Social media doesn’t have to always be serious. Have fun with your content and be conversational.

I’m a big believer in quote graphics to help tell a story. Not only do they tap into emotion, but they do a good job of bringing to life the team’s voice and sentiment.

WVU used the Twitter mirror to host a Q&A. A great opportunity to bring fans closer to student-athletes.

WVU let their student-athletes run with the Twitter mirror. The result was fun, silly content that really brought to life their student-athletes’ personalities.

Reaction videos are always a common theme on Selection Sunday, but I love this up close and personal angle from the Sooners.

A few of my favorite GIFS from Selection Sunday. GIFS don’t always have to be labor intensive; subtle animation goes a long way in getting content to stand out from the noise.
