Instagram Carousel Design and PNG Render
Turns a topic into an on-brand Instagram carousel with a hook-first slide arc, tight copy, and an HTML file that renders 1080x1350 PNGs.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help you create an Instagram carousel on nutrition myths. You'd probably want to start by thinking about a hook for the first slide that makes people want to swipe through the rest. Then you could alternate between myth and fact slides to keep the rhythm interesting. Each slide should have some visual appeal—text, icons, or data graphics—so it doesn't just look like a wall of words. For the copy, I'd keep it punchy and use a tone that fits your audience. Are you positioning this as educational, funny, motivational, or a mix? And do you have any brand colors or fonts you want to stick with? Do you have your own photos or graphics, or should I suggest a visual direction that works for carousels?
INSTAGRAM CAROUSEL: 10-Slide Fitness Nutrition Myths
BRAND DISCOVERY (First):
Visual Direction: Bold sans-serif (Montserrat), sport-premium aesthetic, high-contrast black-white-neon yellow
Color Palette: #000000 (black), #FFFFFF (white), #FFD700 (performance yellow)
Tone of Voice: Direct, science-backed, zero pseudoscience
Target: Gym-goers 25-40, skeptical of supplement marketing
BIG IDEA + HOOK:
"10 Lies Your Gym Bro Won't Question" → Positions as anti-bullshit authority
Emotional angle: Trust + relief ("finally someone says it")
SLIDE-BY-SLIDE STRUCTURE:
1. HOOK SLIDE (Swipe attention)
Visual: Bold yellow text on black background
Copy: "10 Lies Your Gym Bro Tells You (& The Truth)"
CTA: "Swipe for reality"
2-3. MYTH #1 + FACT (Two-slide deep-dive)
Myth: "You need to eat chicken every meal to build muscle"
Fact: "Any protein hits 25g per serving. Eggs, fish, tofu, legumes all work."
Visual: Split-screen (gym bro left, diverse proteins right)
Graphic: Chart showing 20 protein sources, amino acid profiles
4-5. MYTH #2 + FACT
Myth: "Carbs after 6pm turn into fat"
Fact: "Timing doesn't matter. Total daily calories do. Post-workout carbs help recovery."
Visual: Clock graphic showing identical results (morning carbs = evening carbs)
Callout: "Real factor: Overeating > Timing"
6-7. MYTH #3 + FACT
Myth: "Supplements are essential to get results"
Fact: "95% of gains come from: training + sleep + eating enough protein. Supplements = 5%."
Visual: Pyramid showing leverage (training base, supplements tip)
Callout: "Spend money on a coach, not BCAAs"
8-9. MYTH #4 + FACT
Myth: "Detox drinks flush toxins"
Fact: "Your liver and kidneys already do that. Detox products have no clinical evidence."
Visual: Icon of liver + kidney, green checkmark
Copy: "If you have a working liver, you already detox."
10. CLOSING (CTA + Trust-building)
Visual: Call-to-action box on yellow background
Copy: "Want a personalized nutrition plan? DM for 15-min consultation ($0)."
CTA: "Link in bio for free guide: 'Nutrition Myths Debunked'"
Instagram Guide embed: Playlist linking to 5 carousel-related educational Reels
VISUAL SYSTEM (Applied to all 10 slides):
• Font: Montserrat Bold (headlines), Inter Medium (body)
• Icon set: Consistent gym-themed icons (barbell, plate, clock, etc.)
• Spacing: 24px padding, 16px between sections
• Aspect ratio: 1080x1350px (Instagram vertical format)
COPY VOICE CONSISTENCY:
• No hype words (avoid: "amazing", "revolutionary")
• Every claim cite-able (Myth slides include citation, e.g., "Journal of Sports Science 2023")
• Direct address: "You've probably heard..."
DELIVERABLES:
• 10x PNG slides (downloadable, ready to upload)
• HTML preview (scroll through all slides in-browser before posting)
• Caption copy for Instagram post
• Hashtag recommendations: fitness, nutrition, myths, gym
• Performance tracker: When posted, monitor swipe-through rate + saves (target >35% swipe rate by slide 10)
NEXT STEP:
A/B test: Post this carousel + create alt version with humor tone (vs science tone) to same audience. Measure which gets more saves + shares.About this skill
Your carousels get likes but no swipes. The cover reads like a blog title, the slides are packed with paragraphs nobody can read on a phone, and what you get from AI is a description of a design instead of slides you can post. This skill writes the carousel around one hook-first idea and builds it as real, pixel-exact slides.
What it does
- Turns a topic, blog post, or script into one big idea and a slide arc that fits the content (no padding to 10 slides)
- Writes a cover with real tension and a slide 2 that works as a second hook
- Applies hard design limits: 1080x1350 canvas, minimum type sizes, word caps per slide, safe margins, a 3-color palette with contrast checks
- Sets up a small brand token system (colors, two fonts, layouts) that you can reuse on every carousel
- Builds one self-contained HTML file for all the slides and, in a coding environment, a Playwright script that exports numbered PNGs
- Reviews carousels you've already made and ranks the fixes: cover, slide 2, density, contrast, CTA
What you get
A slide plan with final copy and visual notes, brand tokens, the HTML render file (plus an export script when you can run code), a caption, and alt text for every slide.
Best for
Creators, coaches, consultants, and small-brand marketers who post educational carousels and want a consistent, designer-quality look without opening Canva for every post.
