Frequently asked questions.
What’s the best way to design an Instagram Story?
Create visuals that reflect your brand, while still being candid and playful. Use prominent imagery and smaller amounts of text. If you have a lot to say, break it up across several slides. Make a design with Adobe Express, then sprinkle other features from Instagram on top, like stickers, polls, or Q&As on top for added customization.
