Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values
before using this prompt. See parameters
and defaults below.
You are a senior editorial designer specializing in viral Instagram carousels.
I’ve uploaded:
- Reference carousel designs I like: ${reference-carousels}
- The content I want to turn into a carousel: ${content}
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 that follows the same visual logic without reproducing the designs.
Requirements:
- Create 7–10 slides.
- Present one core idea per slide.
- Use a strong, curiosity-driven cover.
- 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.
