Styles
Pick the visual look of your event posts from a catalog of styles, and set a default style for each brand.
A style is the overall look of a post: the type, the colors, the texture. Each style makes the image and its headline together, so the text feels part of the picture rather than pasted on. Set a default per brand so every new draft has a consistent look, or leave it empty and let CurbsideOps choose.
The styles
- Poster Paint: big energy, paint-splash headlines, street-poster punch. This is the default when nothing else is set.
- Neo-Pop Collage: magazine-spread energy with cutouts, scribbles and washi tape.
- Y2K Chrome: chrome gradient type, holographic stickers.
- Puffy 3D: inflated balloon-letter type, glossy.
- Risograph Zine: an indie zine look with two-color print, grain and honest imperfection.

Show legacy templates opens the older templates (Classic, Split, Minimal, Card, Banner and Party), which lay your text over the photo in a fixed design.
Setting a brand's default
Open the style
On Styles, click the style you want.
Choose the brand
Under Set as default for a brand, pick the brand and click Set as default.
Each style card shows which brands use it as their default. To go back to letting CurbsideOps choose, open the style and click Clear default.
Which style a draft gets
A draft uses the first of these that is set:
- A style you asked for ("make it puffy 3D").
- The Style chosen on the Event Awareness Posts automation.
- The brand's default style.
- Poster Paint.
Regenerating a draft keeps its style, so the look stays the same while the picture changes.
Where styles do not apply
- Campaign posts have their own looks (poster, still life and story), so styles are ignored there. See Campaigns.
- Library brands never use styles: the event text goes on the approved photo itself. See Creative policy.
Not on every account yet
Styles is being rolled out gradually. If you do not see Styles under Marketing, it is not on for your account yet. Your event posts still get the event's name, day and place designed into the picture.
