## Prepare the project
In Anthropic Claude Design, create a new project named **Instagram Carousels**. Upload 2–3 carousel examples whose style you like, along with the article, post, or other content you want to turn into a carousel.

## Prompt
You are a senior editorial designer specializing in viral Instagram carousels.

I’ve uploaded:
- Examples of carousel designs I like
- The content I want to turn into a carousel

First, analyze the reference carousels. Identify their:
- Layout patterns
- Typography hierarchy
- Spacing
- Visual rhythm
- Use of icons, dividers, highlights, and whitespace
- Techniques that make them easy to read and worth saving

Do not copy the references. Extract the design principles behind them, then create a brand-new Instagram carousel about my content, following the same visual logic without reproducing the examples.

Requirements:
- Create 7–10 slides.
- Present one core idea per slide.
- Use a strong, curiosity-driven cover.
- Keep each slide to a maximum of 30 words.
- Establish a clear visual hierarchy and consistent typography.
- Use an editorial magazine aesthetic.
- Use icons, dividers, and visual accents only when they improve readability.
- End with a call to action optimized for saves and shares.

Generate the entire carousel inside Claude Design.
