Read moreFor a simple education announcement, a light background and dark text can work well. Use one accent color in limited areas. Choose a stronger font for the headline and a simple readable font for the description. Using too many font styles can make the design look crowded.
The headline should be seen first, then the subtitle, and then the short bullets. For this reason, the headline should be the largest text, the description should be smaller, and secondary details should be the simplest.
1. Open a blank Instagram post design. 2. Choose a simple light background. 3. Add the short headline to the top area. 4. Place 2 or 3 short bullets in the middle. 5. Choose one accent color and use it only for important words. 6. Check that the text does not sit too close to the edges. 7. Zoom out and review whether the design is readable at first glance.
1. Write 3 alternative short headlines for the same topic. 2. Try reducing the text by 30 percent. 3. Simplify the layout using only two text sizes. 4. Use one accent color to highlight important parts. 5. Check readability on a smaller screen.
Is the headline readable at first glance? Does the design have one main message? Is there too much text? Do the colors work together? Is the font easy to read? Does the spacing make the design feel clearer? Does the design remain understandable on a small screen?
