Here is the full recording of our June 24 build, plus everything you need to use your tool and keep going. We built personalized carousel makers, in our own brands, in under 60 minutes. @Molly Dowdy even posted hers to Facebook before we finished. That is how fast this is. Watch the replay, then use the quick reference below so you do not have to scrub back through the video to remember a step. In this lesson - The full workshop recording. - Your tool file, attached. Download it, open it in your browser, never in an AI. - Your How To Use It guide, the SOP, attached. The key things to remember These are the moments people forget. Bookmark this lesson so you can come back to them. + Use Duplicate, not Add. This is the speed secret. Duplicate carries every setting forward, your colors, layout, and toggles, so you only change the words. Add gives you a blank slide and makes you start over. Duplicate almost every time. + Set your brand, then keep your tool the right way. Set up your brand once. The tool now remembers it when you reopen the same file. For a permanent copy that opens in your brand on any browser, click Download my tool, open that downloaded file, and bookmark that one. That is your real studio. + Download the moment you love a design. Your slides are not saved until you export. If you refresh or close before exporting, unsaved edits are gone. When a slide looks right, Export PNGs and save it. Aim for 5 to 7 slides. That is the sweet spot for Instagram carousels. Long enough to teach, short enough to hold attention. + Logo tip. A transparent PNG looks cleanest. But if your transparent logo looks odd, upload the regular version and let the tool place it in a box. Sometimes the box looks better. Use whichever fits your logo. Fewer than 4 brand colors? Fill the empty slots with black or white. They go with everything and keep your slides clean. Repurpose every carousel across platforms One build, many posts. Use your exported PNGs for:

These are images I created during the recent challenge. I have never posted a carousel on LinkedIn.... Why?? I don't know!! But it wasn't as easy as some places for sure. And I am totally NOT sure that it is right either. I created the images via ChatGPT and uploaded to Canva and downloaded as PDF. Love your thoughts/feedback. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/donnalynnprice_are-people-understanding-your-value-ugcPost-7467311425363976192-cRWp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAQejYBS3dn-o_OxSNY4c-lA0cDxu3saqA

During the 5 Day Challenge -- I mostly worked on business coaching images. They came out very professional looking. But today was the last day of the BikeWomenBike -- 30 Day Challenge and I had some fun creating an image -- of women on bikes -- celebrating. First image had extra fingers and palms etc. So my correction is technically correct -- I asked for 5 fingers on each hand -- and got that. Learning. Should have said they could be open, closed, thumbs up, fist pump.... but I decided to just go with this one.

Fun to see the first images emerging from the Brand DNA prompts. My company Compass Rose Consulting -- loved the antique compass in the center of the desk. My compass logo has a heart on the center and found it so interesting that it changed the compass image after I uploaded my logo. Asked it to add ME to the image and got a picture of me on the table... 2nd image came out too dark at first but easily lightened. Looks like I am working in Italy or somewhere exotic. Thanks for the challenge!!
