📐 Safe Zone

On a 1080×1920 canvas:

• Top 250px: profile + time
• Bottom 250px: reply bar + reactions UI
• Middle 1080×1420: safe zone. Put everything here

Ignore this and half your text gets hidden.

🎨 5 Design Principles

① 1-Second Hook

Stories scroll fast. Lose them in 1 sec, you're done. Big text, bold color.

② 7 Words Max

Reading time under 3 sec. "10 Free Design Tools": short.

③ High Contrast

Stories are mobile = small. White text on a gradient background reads best.

④ Build a Series

Don't stop at 1 frame. 3-5 frame series: frame 1 hook, 2-4 body, 5 CTA.

⑤ Use Stickers

Polls, quizzes, sliders feed the algorithm. Engagement = reach.

🎯 5 CTA Patterns

1. "DM me": drive direct messages
2. "Click the link": link sticker
3. "Share this": prompt forwarding
4. "Save it": bookmark
5. "Ask me anything": question sticker
