About this course
How Do You Design Instagram Posts with AI?
Write a detailed prompt. Say exactly what you want (an Instagram ad, a product photo or an infographic), who it’s for, how it should look (style, colours, lighting and background), the exact text in quotes with a font style, and the platform and size. End with what you don’t want, such as watermarks, spelling errors or cartoon effects.
What Will You Learn in This Social Media Post Design Course?
The tool is easy. The skill is describing the picture in your head clearly enough that AI can build it. Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Prompt AI like a designer: A five-part framework for prompts that give you usable, on-brand Instagram images every time.
- Create product photos and ads: Model-based ads, product-only shots and showroom-style ads, without a photo shoot.
- Fix and stage raw product photos: Turn a client’s basic photo into a polished, Instagram-ready post, or stage it in a premium setting, while keeping the product exactly as it is.
- Design posts that look professional: Simple promotional posts, infographics, and creative styles such as caricature, animated, meme and cinematic posters.
- Build consistent carousels: Plan the slides, then create a hook slide, value slides and a CTA slide that look like one family.
- Get the basics of good design right: Dimensions, two-font rule, brand colours with hex codes, minimal text, safe zones, contrast, and better Instagram stories.
The Five-Part Prompt Framework
Every design in the course is built on the same five elements. Leave one out and the AI has to guess.
| Element | What to include | Example (from the course’s jewellery |
|---|
brand)
| Specific | What you want to create | A vertical 4:5 Instagram ad for an ethnic jewellery brand |
| Meaningful | Who it’s for and why | Festive buyers shopping for weddings and pujas |
| Aesthetic | Style, colours, lighting, | Deep maroon and antique gold, warm lighting, |
| background, subject | velvet tray | |
| Readable | Exact text in quotes, with a font | "Festive jewellery collection now live" in an |
| style | elegant serif | |
| Custom | Platform, size and what to | Instagram-ready; no watermark, no spelling |
| avoid | errors, no cartoon effect |
Once you know the pattern, every new design is just a new set of details.
Course Curriculum (10 Lessons)
From your first prompt to product photos, designed posts, carousels and stories.
Lesson 1: Nano Banana Interface Walkthrough
Finding Nano Banana Pro in Google Flow, starting a project, choosing image mode, aspect ratios and the number of variations, uploading reference images, and choosing the right model.
Lesson 2: Instagram Posts with Nano Banana
The five-part prompt framework, then three ads for a fictional jewellery brand: a model-based ad, a product-only ad and a luxury showroom ad.
Lesson 3: Editing Raw Product Photos
Turning a basic client photo into a premium Instagram ad by changing the background, lighting and mood, while telling the AI to keep the product exactly the same.
Lesson 4: Product Staging with Nano Banana
Placing a product in a styled setting with props, surfaces and lighting for brand-building posts with no text, and leaving space in case you add text later.
Lesson 5: Design Tips for Images and Carousels
When to use an image or a carousel, dimensions, the two-font rule, brand colours and hex codes, highlighting key words, minimal text, product photography, carousel flow and core design principles.
Lesson 6: Creating Simple Instagram Designs
A promotional post for a fictional gym, built prompt section by section: goal, visual style, colours, subject, headline and fonts, CTA, logo placement and the final checklist.
Lesson 7: Creating Instagram Infographics
A "5 benefits of joining a gym" infographic with numbered cards, icons and short explanations, then resized for stories.
Lesson 8: Creative Instagram Design Styles
The same gym promotion in four creative styles, including caricature, 3D animated, meme and film-poster looks, by changing the style line of the prompt.
Lesson 9: Creating Instagram Carousels
A seven-slide carousel built one slide at a time, keeping the design consistent so every slide looks like part of one post.
Lesson 10: Creating Better Instagram Stories
Why stories matter, behind-the-scenes content that’s worth sharing, stickers and interactive polls, layouts and collages, mentions, choosing highlights and finding your posting rhythm.
Practical Example: A Seven-Slide Gym Carousel
Lesson 9 turns "5 benefits of joining a gym" into a carousel for a fictional fitness studio. Here’s how it’s built:
- Plan it first: Seven slides: a hook, five benefits and a CTA, with the text for each ready before you prompt.
- Set the style once: Brand colours, fonts, logo and mood, written into the first prompt.
- Create the hook slide: "Still thinking about joining a gym today?" with a strong visual that makes people swipe.
- Create each benefit slide: Reuse the same prompt, changing only the text and a few background details.
- Finish with a CTA slide: "Start your fitness journey today. Join now."
- Assemble and post: Download each slide, check they match, and upload them together as one carousel.
The takeaway: AI makes one image at a time, so consistency comes from reusing the same prompt structure.

How do I design Instagram posts?
Decide what the post needs to do, then pick the format: an image for one product or announcement, a carousel for a collection, steps or a story. Keep text short, use two fonts and your brand colours, and keep key elements in the centre. This course shows you how to create the design itself with Nano Banana Pro.
Do I need graphic design experience?
No. You design by writing detailed prompts, and the course teaches you a framework for them. Lesson 5 covers the design rules you need, so your posts look professional even if you’ve never used design software.
How do I design an Instagram carousel?
Write the text for every slide first. Then create a strong hook slide, value slides and a CTA slide, reusing the same prompt so colours, fonts and logo placement stay consistent. Add a swipe arrow in the same place on each slide. Lesson 9 walks through a full seven-slide example.
Can AI edit my existing product photos for Instagram?
Yes. Upload the photo and tell the AI to keep the product exactly the same, including its shape, colour and details, while changing the background, lighting and mood. Lessons 3 and 4 show this for ad-style edits and for styled product shots.
What size should Instagram posts be?
The course uses 1080 × 1080 px as the safe size for images and carousels, with 4:5 vertical posts also used for ads. Stories use a 9:16 vertical format. Keep important text away from the top and bottom edges.
Is this a graphic design course for Instagram?
It teaches graphic design for Instagram through AI. You learn layout, typography, colour, hierarchy and consistency, but you apply them by prompting Nano Banana Pro rather than using tools like Canva or Illustrator. For traditional design, see Social Media Graphic Design.
Do I need a paid plan to use Nano Banana Pro?
You’ll need access through a Google account, and the best results come with Nano Banana Pro, which depends on your Google plan. Limits and pricing change, so check Google’s current plans. The Profesor’s course fee doesn’t include a Google subscription.
