I'll create a beautiful post for your summer collection! Let me generate that for you...
✨ Your Instagram post is ready! **Text Overlay:** "Summer Vibes Only" **Caption:** Embrace the warmth of the season with our stunning new summer collection. ☀️ **Hashtags:** #SummerCollection #FashionVibes #SummerStyle #NewArrivals #SummerFashion #OOTD #StyleInspo **Image:** A vibrant beach scene with flowing summer dresses Would you like me to create more variations or adjust the style?
Yes, make 3 more with a minimal style for a carousel
Perfect! I've created 3 additional cards with a minimal aesthetic: 📸 **Card 1:** "Less is More" - Clean white background with single garment 📸 **Card 2:** "Effortless Style" - Soft neutral tones 📸 **Card 3:** "Simply Summer" - Minimal composition with plant accents All 4 images are now ready for your carousel post. The consistent minimal style will create a cohesive feed aesthetic. Shall I upload them to your drafts?
## Implementation Details The CARD keyword performs the following steps: 1. **Text Generation**: Uses LLM to create optimized overlay text based on the prompt 2. **Image Generation**: Creates the base image using AI image generation 3. **Style Application**: Applies color filters and effects based on the selected style 4. **Text Overlay**: Adds the generated text with proper positioning and shadows 5. **Social Content**: Generates relevant hashtags and a ready-to-use caption ## Image Dimensions | Format | Dimensions | Use Case | |--------|------------|----------| | Square | 1080 × 1080 | Feed posts | | Portrait | 1080 × 1350 | Feed posts (more visibility) | | Story | 1080 × 1920 | Stories and Reels | | Landscape | 1080 × 566 | Link previews | ## Best Practices 1. **Be Specific with Image Prompts**: "golden retriever playing in autumn leaves" works better than just "dog" 2. **Keep Text Prompts Thematic**: Focus on the message, not the exact words - the LLM will optimize 3. **Match Style to Brand**: Use consistent styles across posts for brand recognition 4. **Use Carousel for Stories**: Generate multiple related cards to create engaging carousel posts 5. **Review Hashtags**: The generated hashtags are suggestions - customize for your audience ## Error Handling ```basic TRY CARD "abstract art", "creativity unleashed", "vibrant" TO art_post IF art_post.image_path = "" THEN TALK "Image generation failed, please try again" ELSE TALK "Post created successfully!" END IF CATCH error TALK "Error creating card: " + error.message END TRY ``` ## Related Keywords - [GENERATE IMAGE](./keyword-generate-image.md) - Generate images without text overlay - [UPLOAD](./keyword-upload.md) - Upload generated cards to storage - [POST TO SOCIAL](./keyword-post-to-social.md) - Publish directly to social media - [CREATE DRAFT](./keyword-create-draft.md) - Save as draft for review ## See Also - [Social Media Keywords](./keywords-social-media.md) - [Image Processing](./keywords-image-processing.md)
