How to make Carousels that convert.
Without spending 8h on Canva)
When I first started building carousels on Linkedin,
I thought “good design” meant
fancy fonts and perfect stock photos.
I’d spend hours tweaking layouts,
second-guessing colour palettes,
and still end up wondering,
“Why doesn’t this feel right?”
That’s when I realised,
I needed a system to make it work.
Once I built a CANVA system, everything changed.
Now I can design carousels in minutes,
clean, cohesive, and completely on-brand.
Here’s the framework I use
🔵 Set your Canva size to 1080 × 1350px
🟢 Build a Brand Kit (one font, two colours — that’s it)
🟣 Start with a Hook Slide — under 10 words
🟠 Use AI tools like Ideogram to match your vibe
🟡 Keep Body Slides simple — title, subtitle, image, caption
🔴 Make your titles tell a story (Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3)
🟤 End with a CTA Slide — ask, invite, or give something
⚪ Save it all as a Brand Template
It's one of the top-performing post types on Linkedin.
Creators like Awa K. Penn, Charlie Hills and MJ Jaindl have mastered the art & science of carousels.
Because once you have structure,
design becomes storytelling.
And storytelling — that’s what sells.
