First you’ll need a graphic design tool! If you don’t already have access to one that you like to use, we HIGHLY recommend using Canva!
Canva is free and super easy to use!

If you have a graphic design tool already just apply these techniques inside the program you use.
If you’re some sort of coach or author, quote images can be highly effective for you on Instagram and other social media platforms. If your business is in the B2B space, you can most likely benefit from professionally designed quote images.
For consumer brands selling physical products, restaurants, and artists I would not recommend using quote images.

Don’t use random quotes, make sure they relate to your brand.
IMPORTANT: Make sure these quotes bring value to your audience. Your quote images should be motivating, inspiring, funny, informational, etc.
The images you use should somewhat relate to the quote you’re using for that piece of content.
