Colour Treatment
- Background: #1F2A24 deep navy solid
- Accent: #8B9467 - one muted, natural green used sparingly for highlights
- Text: #F2EDE4 - warm cream that provides good contrast
Font Pairing
- Display: A bold condensed sans, all caps, slight italic lean for titles and headings
- Support: A contrasting geometric sans, usually all-caps and letter-spaced
- Rule: never a third font; script or handwriting is not used unless the vibe explicitly asks for playful or handwritten elements
Layout Grid
- Quote Card: text centered, aligned to the top, starting margin of 20 pixels, line cap before the font size drops
- Carousel Cover: headline zone at the top, swipe cue at the bottom, with a safe margin of 20 pixels
- Margins: a consistent safe-margin rule of 20 pixels at the canvas size to ensure readability and visual balance
Logo / Handle Placement
- Position: bottom right corner · Treatment: the logo is displayed in the accent colour (#8B9467) · Rule: the same position and size on every single graphic to maintain brand consistency
Series Consistency Element
A small, muted green (#8B9467) corner badge in the top right corner of every graphic, which survives being shrunk and makes a profile grid of nine posts read as one cohesive show
Safe Zone Map
For an Instagram quote_card, a safe zone map is not as critical as for video covers due to the square format, but we'll ensure key elements are centered and clear of the edges for better grid visibility. The map emphasizes a centered composition for optimal visibility across various devices.
Concept 1: Big Word Stack
Why this works here: The quote "The title that names the software is the one they scroll past" is short and impactful, making a bold, stacked presentation effective.
Composition
- Subject placement: Centered, with each word on a new line.
- Negative space for text: The entire background, which will be a deep navy blue (#1F2A24) to provide good contrast with the warm cream text (#F2EDE4).
Overlay Copy (exact, with line breaks)

- @creatorskills
Typography Spec
- Display: Bold condensed sans, all caps, slight italic lean, 64pt for "The title" and decreasing font size by 8pt for each subsequent line.
- Support: Not required for this concept.
- Emphasis: None, as the stacking itself emphasizes the quote.
Grid Test
This concept passes the grid test because the stacked words will remain readable even when shrunk to a smaller size, such as in a profile grid.
Concept 2: Center-Face Reaction
Why this works here: A face can convey the surprise or realization from the quote, making the message more relatable and engaging.
For a quote card like this, the companion text would typically be the alt text that accompanies the post on Instagram, ensuring accessibility and providing context for screen readers and search algorithms.
The alt text for this quote card could be: "A quote from @creatorskills about the visibility of software titles and how they're often overlooked, presented in a bold, typographic design."
How it works
Add the content it is built from
Paste the actual words: the quote, the newsletter line, the takeaway, or, for a video cover: the topic and what happens in the first three seconds. We use your words verbatim on the card. We never hand back "[insert your quote here]".
We draft it
The app works through its steps and hands back:
- Visual System
- Overlay Copy
- Companion Text
Refine and export
Change the brief and run it again, or open the full run to read, copy and download each file.
Questions
What is a credit?
The unit a run is priced in. Each app has a fixed price in credits, shown on its Generate button, and a run costs exactly that. Nothing is metered by length or time.
Am I charged if a run fails?
No. Starting a run holds the credits rather than spending them. The hold becomes a charge only when the run succeeds; a failed or cancelled run releases it.
Can I edit the brief and run it again?
Yes. Change any input and press Generate again, or open an earlier run and choose Adjust and run again to start from a copy of its brief. Uploaded files need attaching again. Each run is new and costs the applet's price; the earlier run stays as it was.
Where are my results kept?
Every run you start is listed under Your runs at /create/runs. Each one opens its own page, where you can read, copy and download the files it produced.
