Complete Guide: Instagram Story Design
Story layouts need to work around interface elements at the top and bottom of the screen. The safest approach is to keep important content in the center zone and design with quick, high-clarity viewing in mind.
Design Tips for Instagram
- 💡Keep critical text and subjects away from the top and bottom edges.
- 💡Use large text and clear contrast because stories are viewed quickly.
- 💡Design for motion, stickers, or other overlay elements when relevant.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ⚠Putting text where interface chrome will cover it.
- ⚠Using tiny typography that cannot be read during quick swipes.
- ⚠Trying to repurpose wide images without considering the tall crop.
Pro Tips
- ✓Create reusable story templates for brand consistency.
- ✓Leave breathing room for stickers or interactive elements.
- ✓Design the first second of attention as carefully as the rest of the frame.
