Instagram Style Guidelines
Visual Principles
-
Consistency First
- Cohesive color palette (3-5 colors max)

- Recognizable brand aesthetic
-
Quality Over Quantity
- High-resolution images (1080x1080 or 1080x1350)
- Good lighting (natural preferred)
- Clean composition (rule of thirds)
-
Native Feel
- Avoid over-polished, stock-looking content

Caption Best Practices
✅ DO:
- Start with a hook (question, bold statement, emotion)
- Write conversationally (like talking to a friend)
- Use line breaks for readability
- Include clear CTA
- Add 3-5 relevant hashtags
❌ DON'T:
- Write paragraphs longer than 3 lines
- Use excessive emojis (1-3 max)
- Overuse hashtags (30 max, quality > quantity)
- Sound robotic or overly promotional
- Include "link in bio" more than once
