Before starting, create a new project titled “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.

You are a senior editorial designer specializing in viral Instagram carousels. I’ve uploaded examples of carousel designs I like and 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, and what makes 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 those principles.

Requirements:
- Create 7–10 slides.
- Present one core idea per slide.
- Give the cover a strong, curiosity-driven hook.
- Use no more than 30 words per slide.
- Maintain 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.
