You might have noticed that I’ve started using Instagram’s Carousel feature in a different way. Rather than having single images (one per carousel slide), I am now creating “continuous carousels” where the images flow seamlessly from one to the next and overlap on each slide.
The effects can make for beautiful collections and collages and are particularly great for any storytelling be that travel, food, nature or a colour scheme.
Of course you can download apps for this, which is the easiest way. HOWEVER, all apps I’ve tried only had the most basic (and hardly inspiring) templates for free. Any template I actually wanted I would have to pay a monthly subscription for. I’m not against buying a one-off product, after all, someone has put the work in to develop it. I don’t know about you, but there’s a limit to how many monthly subscriptions I want to pay for.
So I’ve come up with my own FREE way to create these carousels. Using Canva (not an ad/not sponsored!) and other online tools, I can completely customise and create my own scrollable carousels. And now I want to teach you to do the same!
This little workshop isn’t solely about the technical aspects of creating a scrollable carousel, it’s also about making that carousel a cohesive and engaging story that is beautiful to look at.
