Carousels: the modern answer to infographics, a way to share key pieces of information concisely, and a sure-fire method to make a visual impact. These can often be some of the most sharable posts, and a well-made mini slideshow can help you to achieve your social media and business goals. With Picsart’s new Multicanvas feature, creating your own carousels that pop and drive engagement has never been easier. If you’re a small business looking to show off your new season’s products, or a social media manager, wanting to give your followers top tips on how to spruce up their feeds, this feature is a must.
Step 1: Open up a new file and click add page
Start by creating a new project in Picsart. Click on “Add Page” to begin building your carousel. Each page represents a new slide, so think about how your content will flow from one frame to the next. Before getting started, it can be useful to plan out what you want to include in each slide to be sure you’re staying on track and planning your carousel accordingly.
Step 2: Add your background
Add a background with a bit of pizzazz! Generate your own that matches your vibe and sets the tone for your carousel. Upload your own brand colors, choose a gradient, or select from Picsart’s library of high-quality images. If you want a carousel that flows, make sure your backgrounds align across all pages.
Step 3: Choose your font
Typography is designed to exude an essence you’re looking to portray. Select a font that works with your brand’s style. A bold modern font can be incorporated to grab attention, or a classic minimalistic type may be more your thing. You may even want to find a second font that compliments the original style for additional visual impact.
Step 4: Add finishing touches
Now it’s time to make your carousel dazzle! Incorporate stickers, shapes, and brand elements for added visual appeal. Remember to keep it balanced: too many elements can make your slides look cluttered, but an overly minimal slide may lose your audience’s interest. If you’re including text-heavy content, break it up with bullet points.
Step 5: Export and post
Once you’re happy with your carousel, export it and share it to your social media channels. If you’re posting on Instagram, make sure your dimensions align with the platform’s new specifications for top-quality swipe-through experience.
Get ready to make the quick and beautiful carousels that’ll grab your audience’s attention, convey your message, and promote shareability. With Multicanvas, visual storytelling is easy, helping you to boost engagement, while staying true to your branding. If you’re looking to educate your audience, promote a product, or share insights, these five simple steps will be sure to move you closer to your goal.
