Outputs

## Project setup
Create a new project named **Instagram Carousels**. Upload 2–3 carousel designs you like as references, along with the article, post, or text 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
- Design choices 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 based on my content. Use the references’ visual logic without reproducing their designs.

Requirements:
- Create 7–10 slides
- Communicate one core idea per slide
- Use a strong, curiosity-driven cover
- Keep each slide to a maximum of 30 words
- 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
