first:<\/strong>&nbsp;Design for 9:16 whenever you can (hello, Stories + Reels covers). Keep text away from the edges so it doesn\u2019t get cropped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it save-worthy:<\/strong>&nbsp;Mini how\u2011tos, checklists, and swipeable inspo still win because people want to come back to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go big on text:<\/strong>&nbsp;Bold, high\u2011contrast headlines beat tiny captions in a fast scroll.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Photo dumps are staying:<\/strong>&nbsp;Real life + a clean layout feels human (and that\u2019s the point).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we dive in here are 3 tiny tweaks that instantly level up any collage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pick a vibe.<\/strong>&nbsp;Minimalist?
