Blog Featured Image Template

A featured image that works as both your blog post header and its link preview on social media. A category tag sets context, the article title is large and readable, and an author byline with reading time adds credibility. The illustrated “brief” card on the right is made of editable shapes rather than a stock image.

Design details

Mint and deep forest green feel calm and editorial. Merriweather gives the title a readable, publication-like voice; Inter keeps the tag and byline crisp. The illustration is a rotated card whose lines and checkboxes are placed with the same rotation, so the composition stays aligned if you recolour it.

How to customise it

Edit the category tag and article title; three lines is the comfortable maximum.
Change the author initials, name, date and reading time.
Recolour the card’s accent bar and checkboxes to your blog’s colours.
Keep text away from the far edges — some platforms crop link previews.
