Design Carousel Social Media Posts in InDesign

Carousel posts let you break down your event details—dates, locations, highlights—across multiple slides, turning a simple scroll into a mini storytelling session. They keep your visuals strong, your audience hooked, and give you the freedom to get creative with interactivity and style, all without bombarding viewers with info.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to set up your InDesign document and grid, nail the Instagram crop, play with structure, type, images, colour, and even generate style permutations. Wrap it up by exporting your slides super fast and you’re ready to post. Plus, there’s free project files, a PDF guide, and a vibrant GDS community waiting to geek out over design with you!
