The Guidelines
The Dos and Don'ts
Do...
- Keep text/images left-aligned/center-aligned.
- Stick to the Gen She color palette.
- Use gradients!
- Label photos - make sure your audience can clearly identify the subject and their IG handle if they have one.
- Be bold. A big bold title in caps on a gradient background is simple yet eye-catching - it's much easier to get information across this way.
Don't...
- Clutter the composition - the best posts are clear and concise.
- Use too many contrasting colors. The gradient look best when the colors are harmonious.
- Use the font hierarchy in a different order - not all need to be used in the same post but always use them chronologically.
- Display more than a small number of images per post page.
